Adds a `PhantomPinned` field to `Opaque<T>`. This removes the last Rust
guarantee: the assumption that the type `T` can be freely moved. This is
not the case for many types from the C side (e.g. if they contain a
`struct list_head`). This change removes the need to add a
`PhantomPinned` field manually to Rust structs that contain C structs
which must not be moved.

This patch depends on the patch that swaps `UnsafeCell` with
`MaybeUninit` inside `Opaque` [1].
