Feat: Add support for setting struct field size in tracelogging_dynamic for Rust #73

Description

Description

When working with ETW events, I noticed we are missing the functionality to create a struct, and then populate it, and lastly, set it struct size. This workflow is typical in tracelogging_dynamic scenarios, where not all the data for the struct is known ahead of time. This facilitates a lot of workflows and code structure.

Example:

        use tracelogging_dynamic as tld;
        
        let mut field_count  = 2;
        
        let event = tld::EventBuilder::new();
        
        // Create struct
        event.add_struct("Struct", field_count, 0);
        
        event.add_str8("string1", "value", tld::OutType::Default, 0);
        event.add_str8("string2", "value", tld::OutType::Default, 0);
        
        if let Some(value) = Some("hello, world".to_string()) {
          event.add_str8("greeting",value, tld::OutType::Default, 0);
          field_count = field_count + 1;
        }
        
        event.set_struct_field_count("Struct", field_count); // <-- Missing method
    }

Other implementations

Other tracelogging implementation have this method:
