rust: vmstate: use const_refs_to_static
The VMStateDescriptionBuilder already needs const_refs_static, so
use it to remove the need for vmstate_clock! and vmstate_struct!,
as well as to simplify the implementation for scalars.

If the consts in the VMState trait can reference to static
VMStateDescription, scalars do not need the info_enum_to_ref!
indirection and structs can implement the VMState trait themselves.
