Currently `ForeignOwnable::from_foreign()` only works for non-null
pointers for the existing `impl`s (e.g. `Box`, `Arc`). In turn, this
means callers may write code like:
```rust
// `p` is a pointer that may be null.
if p.is_null() {
None
} else {
unsafe { Some(Self::from_foreign(ptr)) }
}
```
Add a `try_from_foreign()` method to the trait with a default
implementation that returns `None` if `ptr` is null, otherwise
`Some(from_foreign(ptr))`, so that it can be used by callers instead.
