Subject: rust: types: add `ForeignOwnable::PointedTo`

Allow implementors to specify the foreign pointer type; this exposes
information about the pointed-to type such as its alignment.

This requires the trait to be `unsafe` since it is now possible for
implementors to break soundness by returning a misaligned pointer.

Encoding the pointer type in the trait (and avoiding pointer casts)
allows the compiler to check that implementors return the correct
pointer type. This is preferable to directly encoding the alignment in
the trait using a constant as the compiler would be unable to check it.
