Add a method for `ARef` that is analogous to `Arc::into_raw`. It is the inverse operation of `ARef::from_raw`, and allows you to convert the `ARef` back into a raw pointer while retaining ownership of the refcount. This new function will be used by [1] for converting the type in an `ARef` using `ARef::from_raw(ARef::into_raw(me).cast())`. Alice has also needed the same function for other use-cases in the past, but [1] is the first to go upstream. This was implemented independently by Kartik and Alice. The two versions were merged by Alice, so all mistakes are Alice's.
