Add `XArrayState` as internal state for XArray iteration and entry
operations. This struct wraps the C `xa_state` structure and holds a
reference to a `Guard` to ensure exclusive access to the XArray for the
lifetime of the state object.

The `XAS_RESTART` constant is also exposed through the bindings helper
to properly initialize the `xa_node` field.

The struct and its constructor are marked with `#[expect(dead_code)]` as
there are no users yet. We will remove this annotation in a later patch.
