Subject: [bindings] Use references in a few places instead of pointers
X-Git-Tag: v0.0.13~37^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.bitcoin.ninja/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e06274765ce2c5614175baa355f6b67edefc14f;p=rust-lightning

[bindings] Use references in a few places instead of pointers

Previously, references and pointers ended up identical in C, so
there was little reason to differentiate. With the addition of
nullability annotations, there is a (very slight) reason to prefer
references, so use them in a few places where its a trivial change.
