Subject: [PATCH v5 05/17] rust: faux: refactor to use `&raw [const|mut]`

Replacing all occurrences of `addr_of_mut!(place)`
with `&raw mut place`.

This will allow us to reduce macro complexity, and improve consistency
with existing reference syntax as `&raw mut` is similar to `&mut`
making it fit more naturally with other existing code.
