rust: translated random test of missingancestors

This is a Rust implementation of the random
DAG generator and related incrementalmissingancestors
tests against a naive brute force implementation.

It is provided as an integration test, so that it
won't run by default if any unit test fails.

In case of a failed example, all needed information
for reproduction is included in the panic message,
(this is how
`test_remove_ancestors_from_case1()` has been generated),
as well as the random seed.

The whole test is rerunnable by passing the random seed
in the TEST_RANDOM_SEED environment variable.
The other parameters (numbers of iterations) can be passed
in the TEST_MISSING_ANCESTORS environment variable.

An alternative would have been to expose to Python
MissingAncestors<VecGraphs> but that would have meant
pollution of the release build used from Python,
whereas we do it in this changeset within the tests submodule

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
