rust: make `UnsafeCell` the outer type in `Opaque`

When combining `UnsafeCell` with `MaybeUninit`, it is idiomatic to use
`UnsafeCell` as the outer type. Intuitively, this is because a
`MaybeUninit<T>` might not contain a `T`, but we always want the effect
of the `UnsafeCell`, even if the inner value is uninitialized.

Now, strictly speaking, this doesn't really make a difference. The
compiler will always apply the `UnsafeCell` effect even if the inner
value is uninitialized. But I think we should follow the convention
here.
