context: introduce unsafe `PreallocatedContext` trait 

Fixes unsoundness in `preallocated_gen_new` which previously did not
properly constrain the lifetime of the buffer used to back the context
object. We introduce an unsafe marker trait, and impl it for our
existing preallocated-context markers.

Annoyingly the trait has to be public even though it should never be
used directly, and is only used alongside the sealed `Context` trait,
so it is de-facto sealed itself.

Fixes #543
