rust-hg-core: move from `ouroboros` to `self_cell`

`ouroboros` has a fundamental soundness problem that, while not applicable
today, could become applicable given new compiler optimizations.¹

`self_cell` is a crate that accomplishes a lot of the same things that
`ouroboros` did while remaining sound (that is, unless a new soundness issue
is discovered) by not assuming as much about the memory layout of the program.
`self_cell` has been scrutinized heavily in the past few months by very
competent people, some from the compiler team and has shown no weaknesses
for a while, with a 1.0 stable release coming out a couple months ago.

Our internal API is exactly the same, this is just an implementation detail.
To reiterate, no actual soundness issue was found with our use of `ouroboros`,
but there might be evolutions of `rustc` (or even a future separate compiler)
that could generate unsound code.
