PinCoerceUnsized trait into core

cc ``@Darksonn`` ``@wedsonaf`` ``@ojeda``

This is a PR to introduce a `PinCoerceUnsized` trait in order to make trait impls generated by the proc-macro `#[derive(SmartPointer)]`, proposed by [RFC](e17e19ac7a/text/3621-derive-smart-pointer.md (pincoerceunsized-1)), sound. There you may find explanation, justification and discussion about the alternatives.

Note that we do not seek stabilization of this `PinCoerceUnsized` trait in the near future. The stabilisation of this trait does not block the eventual stabilization process of the `#[derive(SmartPointer)]` macro. Ideally, use of `DerefPure` is more preferrable except this will actually constitute a breaking change. `PinCoerceUnsized` emerges as a solution to the said soundness hole while avoiding the breaking change. More details on the `DerefPure` option have been described in this [section](e17e19ac7a/text/3621-derive-smart-pointer.md (derefpure)) of the RFC linked above.
