rust: delete ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut

We discovered that the current design of `borrow_mut` is problematic.
This patch removes it until a better solution can be found.

Specifically, the current design gives you access to a `&mut T`, which
lets you change where the `ForeignOwnable` points (e.g., with
`core::mem::swap`). No upcoming user of this API intended to make that
possible, making all of them unsound.
