Subject: [Rust] Refactor `binary_view` module

- Remove the "viral" `BinaryViewExt` trait and its blanket impl
- Split up the binary view type from the custom trait impl
- Simplify and fix bugs regarding custom binary view initialization
- Rewrite Minidump binary view example, parses the PE headers to create proper sections now
- Add some extra documentation
- Add unit test for custom binary view
