Consolidate Param/Ref/InterfaceRef etc

[kennykerr]

A number of conversion types and traits have been developed to solve different problems. Some like Param are used by windows-bindgen while others are more suitable for hand-authored APIs. It's just a bit confusing and hard to know what the right tool is where there are so many options.

We should try and use Ref for interface traits and delegate closures. Its way simpler than the use of Option<&T> or &Option<T>.

Particularly, the difference in the closure signature between TypedEventHandler<T, A> and EventHandler<T> is quite confusing.

Ideally we could have an AsRef that worked something like this:

pub trait AsRef<T> where T: Type<T> {
    fn as_ref<'a>(&'a self) -> Ref<'a, T>;
}

impl<T: Type<T>> AsRef<T> for T {
    fn as_ref<'a>(&'a self) -> Ref<'a, T> {
        unsafe { transmute_copy(self) }
    }
}

impl<'a, T: Type<T>> AsRef<T> for &'a T {
    fn as_ref(&self) -> Ref<'a, T> {
        unsafe { transmute_copy(self) }
    }
}

impl<'a, T: Type<T>> AsRef<T> for Option<&'a T> {
    fn as_ref(&self) -> Ref<'a, T> {
        unsafe {
            match self {
                Some(value) => transmute_copy(value),
                None => Ref::zeroed(),
            }
        }
    }
}

This would then provide more uniform parameter binding across regular and generic parameters and be far simpler in general.

As noted in #3394 this doesn't support polymorphism the way that Param does though.
