rust: num: bounded: mark __new as unsafe

The `Bounded::__new()` constructor relies on the caller to ensure the
value can be represented within N bits. Failing to uphold this
requirement breaks the type invariant. Mark it as unsafe and document
this requirement in a Safety section to make the contract explicit.

Update all call sites to use unsafe blocks and change their comments
from `INVARIANT:` to `SAFETY:`, as they are now justifying unsafe
operations rather than establishing type invariants.
