rust: time: Make HasHrTimer generic over HrTimerMode

Add a `TimerMode` associated type to the `HasHrTimer` trait to
represent the operational mode of the timer, such as absolute or
relative expiration. This new type must implement the `HrTimerMode`
trait, which defines how expiration values are interpreted.

Update the `start()` method to accept an `expires` parameter of type
`<Self::TimerMode as HrTimerMode>::Expires` instead of the fixed `Ktime`.
This enables different timer modes to provide strongly typed expiration
values, such as `Instant<C>` or `Delta`.

The `impl_has_hr_timer` macro is also extended to allow specifying the
`HrTimerMode`. In the following example, it guarantees that the
`start()` method for `Foo` only accepts `Instant<Monotonic>`. Using a
`Delta` or an `Instant` with a different clock source will result in a
compile-time error:

struct Foo {
    #[pin]
    timer: HrTimer<Self>,
}

impl_has_hr_timer! {
    impl HasHrTimer<Self> for Foo {
        mode : AbsoluteMode<Monotonic>,
        field : self.timer
    }
}

This design eliminates runtime mismatches between expires types and
clock sources, and enables stronger type-level guarantees throughout
hrtimer.
