Some enums, where the Ok variant is 0, can be mapped to a Rust Result, with a NonZero<NewType> enum representation. Future improvements could add a callback which allows customizing the name error enum.

There is a `no_run`, but not `no_build` doctest attribute, so we need to ignore it to prevent CI from failing in the msrv build.

Some enums, where the Ok variant is 0, can be mapped to a Rust
Result<(), NonZero<NewType>>representation, where the enum newtype is generated without the Ok variant.This PR adds a new option for the user to select this new Result representation for the enum, which can make the generated APIs more ergonomic, when C functions use the result enum as their return type.
Additionally, a parse callback is added, which allows renaming the new error enum (which does not contain the Ok / 0 variant).
As discussed in the linked issue, since Rust currently doesn't allow arbitrary niches, this new enum mapping can only work with C result enums, where 0 is the Ok value. Other error enums are out of scope.
Closes #2980
