[Rust] Fix memory leak #2 (#8725)

* Add C++ API for computing type key from type index

* Try and isolate leak

* Rewrite the bindings to fix the ArgValue lifetime issue

There are still quite a few issues left to resolve in this patch, but I believe the runtime
changes stablize memory consumption as long as the parameters are only set once. ByteArray
also has some totally broken unsafe code which I am unsure of how it was introduced.

* Finish handling tvm-rt issues due to ArgValue lifetime

This patch further refactors the bindings to better handle the
lifetime issues introduced by detecting the argument memory leak.

* WIP memory leak

* There is issue using TVMCb function which is breaking refcount

* Fix fallout from the lifetime refactor

* Another tweak

* Follow up work from the memory leak, attempt to clean up ByteArray

* Add some todos for future work

* Fix doc string

* Clean up the changes

* Format
