1. Use KnownLayout to construct and operate on Refs …

   Add `Ref::new_known_layout_name_to_be_bikeshedded`. This is a private
   constructor which takes a `T: ?Sized + KnownLayout` bound. Before we
   make `KnownLayout` public, we will make it public and settle on a final
   name.
   
   Also add the ability to dereference a `Ref`, requiring the caller to
   promise bit validity. Refactor `TryFromBytes::try_from_ref` to use this
   instead of calling `Ptr::as_ref` directly, allowing `try_from_ref`'s
   internal safety comments to be significantly simpler. This machinery can
   be re-used to add APIs with a `T: ?Sized + KnownLayout + FromBytes`
   bound which allow for safe dereferencing.
   
   Makes progress on #29
