Rust bindings for arrayfire

Currently this will most likely only work on OSX as the bindings were generated specifically for it. To make it work for your system try building bindgen and then run the following in the root directory:

bindgen  -I arrayfire/include -builtins -o src/arrayfire.rs arrayfire/include/arrayfire.h

After this you can simply:

cargo build

It does work for the first two examples in the hello_world arrayfire example:

Automatic binding generation

I have commented out the auto binding generation as the api is rather terrible now.

It doesn't work because arrayfire.h includes af/*.h files.

To overcome this you need the -I arrayfire/include directive.

I have yet to find how that works through the bindgen API
