... this has a tendency to cause `reached the recursion limit while
auto-dereferencing` errors, and even a dumb struct copy suffices to
avoid it.
Because LDK often takes `Deref<Target=Trait>` as type parameters,
we'd implemented `Deref { type Target=Self; .. }` for the traits
defined in the bindings crate. This worked well, but because Rust
auto-`Deref`s, it can lead to spurious compilation failures due to
infinite recursion trying to deref.

In the past we've worked around this by coming up with alternative
compilation strategies when faced with `Deref` recursion, but we
don't strictly need to.

Instead, here, we introduce duplicates of all our `Trait` structs
which become the `Deref` `Target`. This way, we can `Deref` into
the `Trait` and maintain LDK compatibility, without having any
infinite `Deref` recursion issues.

One complication is traits which contain associated types to define
`Deref`s to another associated type, e.g.

trait A {
    type B;
    type C: Deref<Target = Self::B>;
}

In this case, `B` needs to be the `TraitRef` and `C` needs to be
the `Trait`. We add code specifically to detect this case.
This adds a "same item but as a reference/non-`is_owned`" helper
method for our opaque wrapper structs, as well as implements
`Deref` on them to the native type. Finally, it implements `Send`
and `Sync` on them by blindly assuming it is implemented on the
underlying struct.
Single-impl traits which are marked no-export (like
`AChannelManager` in LDK) are mapped as the singular implementing
type, rather than a full-blown trait.

Here we handle this case when writing Rust objects (generally used
in writing generic bounds).
Now that we properly handle single-impl traits as Rust types (i.e.
in generic parameters), we have to handle "converting" single-impl
traits. Here we implement this, diverging from the impl of the
underlying impl'd trait by keeping the existing type as-passed and
only ref'ing it if required.
Not idea why this was not true originally, but clearly when writing
a *reference* conversion, we should be doing so as a *reference*.
`is_clonable` will only work for non-reference types, so this check
was actually generally always false.
Not really sure why, but LTO seems to now remove used
implementations of `std` causing link failures in downstream
languages.
