This is the first step to use more complex rust types in cbindgen.

For now, we'll use just a replacement for a boxed slice.

Afterwards, we should be able to do Atom, Arc and Box, and I think that's all we need to remove all the custom glue code and have something sane :)

Passing these by value won't be ok of course, but that's fine.

I plan to combine this with https://github.com/eqrion/cbindgen/pull/333 to
actually be able to share representation for ~all the things, this is just the
first bit. Box<T>, Atom and Arc<T> will be much easier since those have defined
memory layouts.

It's boxed slices the only ones I should need something like this. I could avoid
it if I rely on Rust's internal representation, but I'd rather not, it didn't
end up being as much work to do it right.

This enables destructors for tagged unions in cbindgen, implemented in:

Which allow us to properly generate a destructor for the cbindgen-generated
StyleBasicShape (which now contains an OwnedSlice).

For now, we still use the glue code to go from Box<BasicShape> to
UniquePtr<BasicShape>. But that will change in the future when we generate even
more stuff and remove all the glue.

I could add support for copy-constructor generation to cbindgen for tagged
enums, but I'm not sure if it'll end up being needed, and copy-constructing
unions in C++ is always very tricky.
