In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ignored_unit_patterns` lint [1]:

Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.

There are a few classes of changes required: - Modules generated by bindgen are marked `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`. - Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`. - Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`. - Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are replaced with `let x: *const _ = &x;` and `.cast()` or `.cast::<T>()` according to the previous rules. The intermediate `let` binding is required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference failure. - Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`.

Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
