Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] rust: page: Make ownership of the page pointer explicit.

Ensure only `Page::alloc_page` return pages that own the page allocation.
This requires that we replace the page pointer wrapper with Opaque instead
of NonNull to make it possible to cast to a Page pointer from a raw struct
page pointer.
