Christopher Di BellaandRichard Smith 4df2b6ea9d adds checking support for CppUnsafeDeref witness (#6890)
Iterators, smart pointers, optional, and expected types depend on
`operator*`. This commit adds `CppUnsafeDeref` as a core interface, with
an associated function, so that the compiler can dereference
user-defined C++ types.

Things not implemented in this commit:

* `operator*` overload resolution
* SemIR lowering
