The prefix as_* should not be used for a constructor. Constructors
usually use the prefix from_* instead.
Some prior art in the stdlib: Box::from_raw, CString::from_raw,
Rc::from_raw, Arc::from_raw, Waker::from_raw, File::from_raw_fd.
There is also prior art in the kernel crate: cpufreq::Policy::from_raw,
fs::File::from_raw_file, Kuid::from_raw, ARef::from_raw,
SeqFile::from_raw, VmaNew::from_raw, Io::from_raw.

A DRM File is the DRM counterpart to a kernel file structure,
representing an open DRM file descriptor.
Add a Rust abstraction to allow drivers to implement their own File types
that implement the DriverFile trait.

[ Rework of drm::File
* switch to the Opaque<T> type
* fix (mutable) references to struct drm_file (which in this context
is UB)
* restructure and rename functions to align with common kernel
schemes
* write and fix safety and invariant comments
* remove necessity for and convert 'as' casts
