Avoid returning a reference to a u64.

Avoid returning a reference to a u64.

In c353c3ed7c40e689a3b9fb6730c6dabbd3c92cc5 an accessor method was
added which returns an `Option<&u64>`. While this allows Rust to
return an 8-byte object, returning a reference to something
pointer-sized is a somewhat strange API.

Instead, we opt for a straight `Option<u64>`, which is sadly
somewhat larger on the stack, but is simpler and already supported
in the bindings generation.
