* Resolved Rust warnings during big-endian builds.

* Unify Rust test suites for x86 and MIPS builds.

Note that I had to add four extra packages to the MIPS `Dockerfile`:
`libexpat1`, `libmagic1`, `libmpdec2`, and `libreadline7`. For a reason
I couldn't identify, even the simplest Rust MIPS binaries run with
`qemu-mips` would fail with a segfault when run through this
`Dockerfile`. After installing the `gdb-multiarch` package to attempt to
debug the issue, the binaries ran successfully. I pared down the
packages installed by `gdb-multiarch`, and these four packages are the
minimum subset necessary to get Rust MIPS binaries running under
`qemu-mips`.

* Changed Rust tests to use `Vector`s instead of direct-slice-access.

The direct-slice-access method is not available on big-endian targets,
but `flatbuffers::Vector`s provide an array interface that is available
on all platforms.

* Resolved FooStruct endianness issues using explicit struct constructor.

This more closely resembles how FlatBuffers structs are constructed in
generated Rust code.

* Added explanation of how `FooStruct` parallels generated struct code.

Also collected duplicate implementations of `FooStruct` into a common
location.

FlatBuffers is a cross platform serialization library architected for maximum memory efficiency. It allows you to directly access serialized data without parsing/unpacking it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.
