[PATCH v2 08/20] rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: implement initialization of borrowed structs

[Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>]

We now have the checks to ensure that lifetime relations are what is
expected, we can generate the slot projections in `generate_pin_data` so
self-referential struct can be implemented.

New slot and guard types are defined (`SelfRefSlot` and `SelfRefDropGuard`)
which gives the generated let bindings longer lifetime than the guard
themselves.

Have `__make_closure` take `data` back as an argument. This gives
`#[pin_data]` an opportunity to change the type to add lifetimes.
Higher-ranked trait bound on `__make_closure` is used to ensure that the
initialization closure cannot make arbitrary assumptions of those
lifetimes.
