rust: types: add ARef::into_raw

Browse Source 
Add a method for `ARef` that is analogous to `Arc::into_raw`. It is the
inverse operation of `ARef::from_raw`, and allows you to convert the
`ARef` back into a raw pointer while retaining ownership of the
refcount.

This new function will be used by [1] for converting the type in an
`ARef` using `ARef::from_raw(ARef::into_raw(me).cast())`. Alice has
also needed the same function for other use-cases in the past, but [1]
is the first to go upstream.

This was implemented independently by Kartik and Alice. The two versions
were merged by Alice, so all mistakes are Alice's.
