Add a new enabled-by-default `unstable_try_trait` feature to the `uefi` library to control whether the unstable `try_trait_v2` rustc feature is enabled. It seems like there's still a fair amount of discussion around what the Try API should look like in the tracking issue for try_trait_v2. This could lead to the API being changed in the nightly compiler, and breaking uefi-rs compilation (which is particularly annoying when using a released version rather than the latest git version). Users who want to avoid that problem can now disable `unstable_try_trait`. rust-osdev#452

For the record, I'm in favor of #479. I wrote my thoughts about breaking changes in uefi-rs here #495 (comment) IMHO the small code changes of dropping this feature are not worth it to create possibly future technical debt (by keeping it, thus, having more complexity). I do not insist on it and I'm open for discussions :) |

Yeah, I agree with what @phip1611 said. When I initially thought of the solution based on a feature gate, I didn't realize it would lead to so many small changes and still has downsides 😅 |
