rust: Make OwningDirstateMap generic and move it into hg-core This will enable using it in rhg too. The `OwningDirstateMap::new_empty` constructor is generic and accepts a value of any type that gives acces to a bytes buffer. That buffer must stay valid as long as the value hasn?t been dropped, and must keep its memory address even if the value is moved. The `StableDeref` marker trait encodes those constraints. Previously no trait was needed because the value was always of type `PyBytes` which we know satisfies those constraints. The buffer type is ereased in the struct itself through boxing and dynamic dispatch, in order to simplify other signatures that mention `OwningDirstateMap`.
