I'm not planning to merge this before the next release, just wanted to start collecting reviews. |

Perform a small MSRV bump by two versions. The main thing this gets is access to the C types in `core::ffi`, which means the ecosystem can start harmonizing around those aliases instead of using e.g. `core::ffi::c_int` in some cases and `libc::c_int` in others. 1.65 is selected as a small bump over 1.64 because it comes with some small "nice" things like workspace-level lints and `cast_mut`. It has been over a year since the last MSRV bump to 1.63 (in 93052d1, "Document the MSRV of the stable channel as 1.63") so we could probably bump higher yet, but there isn't anything else on the list at [1] as useful as `core::ffi`. [1]: rust-lang#4626
