rust: enable `clippy::ptr_as_ptr` lint

In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]:

> Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible,
> `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the
> pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.

There are a few classes of changes required:
- Modules generated by bindgen are marked
  `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`.
- Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`.
- Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`.
- Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are
  replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>`
  according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is
  required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference
  failure.
- Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`.
- `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut
  T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.

Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change
intended.
