rust: task: add `Task::current_raw`

Introduces a safe function for getting a raw pointer to the current
task.

When writing bindings that need to access the current task, it is often
more convenient to call a method that directly returns a raw pointer
than to use the existing `Task::current` method. However, the only way
to do that is `bindings::get_current()` which is unsafe since it calls
into C. By introducing `Task::current_raw()`, it becomes possible to
obtain a pointer to the current task without using unsafe.
