Change how handles are constructed, so that we can ensure non-null handles

 ## Unreleased
 
+* **Breaking:** Raw pointer handles now use `NonNull` where appropriate, to avoid null pointer dereferences.
+* **Breaking:** Renamed `empty` methods to `new`, and take parameters in most of those, to better match normal Rust semantics.
 * **Breaking:** `HasRaw(Display/Window)Handle::raw_(display/window)_handle` returns a result indicating if fetching the window handle failed (#122).
 * **Breaking:** Remove the `Active/ActiveHandle` types from the public API (#126).
 * **Breaking:** Remove `AppKitWindowHandle::ns_window` and `UiKitWindowHandle::ui_window` since they can be retrived from the view (#129).
