rust: hrtimer: Add HrTimerInstant

Since we want to add HrTimer methods that can accept Instants, we will want
to make sure that for each method we are using the correct Clocksource for
the given HrTimer. This would get a bit overly-verbose, so add a simple
HrTimerInstant type-alias to handle this for us.
