Subject: [PATCH] Reduce the size of ref<T> to a single pointer.

Rather than tracking |T*|, |OwnedPtrDeleter<T>|, and a |bool|; ref<T> now just
holds an |owned<T>*|. It uses uintptr_t's max value as a deletion sentinel
rather than a separate flag. And with the actual owned<T>*, the deleter doesn't
need to be held separately either.
