Subject: [PATCH] rust: types: Make Opaque::get const

To support a potential usage:

    static foo: Opaque<Foo> = ..; // Or defined in an extern block.

    ...

    fn bar() {
        let ptr = foo.get();
    }

`Opaque::get` need to be `const`, otherwise compiler will complain
because calls on statics are limited to const functions.

Also `Opaque::get` should be naturally `const` since it's a composition
of two `const` functions: `UnsafeCell::get` and `ptr::cast`.
