rust: regulator: remove Regulator<Dynamic>

After some experimenting and further discussion, it is starting to look
like Regulator<Dynamic> might be a footgun. It turns out that one can
get the same behavior by correctly using just Regulator<Enabled> and
Regulator<Disabled>, so there is no need to directly expose the manual
refcounting ability of Regulator<Dynamic> to clients.

Remove it while we do not have any other users.
