[PATCH 1/4] rust: types: implement ForeignOwnable for ARef<T>

[Philipp Stanner]

From: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@xxxxxxxxxx>

Implement ForeignOwnable for ARef<T>, making it possible for C code to
own an ARef<T>.

Since ARef represents shared ownership, BorrowedMut is &T rather than
&mut T, matching the semantics of the underlying reference-counted type.
