const-oid: add ObjectIdentifierRef

Adds a `repr(transparent)` newtype for a `[u8]` which is guaranteed to
contain a valid BER serialization of an OID. This is a similar approach
to how `Path`/`PathBuf` or `OsStr`/`OsString` work (except with
`ObjectIdentifier` being stack-allocated instead of heap allocated).

An unsafe pointer cast is required to go from `&[u8]` to
`&ObjectIdentifierRef`, so unfortunately this means the crate is no
longer `forbid(unsafe_code)`, however it's been lowered to
`deny(unsafe_code)` to ensure contributors think twice before adding
more.

`Borrow` and `Deref` impls have been added to the owned
`ObjectIdentifier` type, allowing common functionality to be moved to
`ObjectIdentifierRef`, allowing both types to exist while eliminating
code duplication.

A `PartialEq` impl allows them to be compared.

The `db` module continues to use `ObjectIdentifier` for now, however
hopefully this approach would allow #1212 to be reinstated and for
`ObjectIdentifierRef`s to be used for the database eventually (i.e.
revert the revert in #1299)
