Add non-slice Ref constructors w/ slice elem count

Add `Ref` constructors which are generic over `T:
KnownLayout<PointerMetadata = usize>` - in other words, types whose
trailing field is a slice (i.e., slices or slice DSTs). These
constructors take an explicit element count for the trailing slice, and
replace the previous constructors which only supported slices.

Makes progress on #29
