[PATCH v3 0/6] rust: reduce pointer casts, enable related lints

[Tamir Duberstein <tamird@gmail.com>]

This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno
Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I
discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3
lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other
pointer casts weren't missed. The first commit reduces the need for
pointer casts and is shared with another series[1].

The final patch also enables pointer provenance lints and fixes
violations. See that commit message for details. The build system
portion of that commit is pretty messy but I couldn't find a better way
to convincingly ensure that these lints were applied globally.
Suggestions would be very welcome.
