lint: change help for pointers to dyn types in FFI
### Context
while playing around, I encountered the warning for dyn types in `extern "C"` functions, but even after that I assumed that a (rust) raw pointer could be interpreted in C ('s ABI) as a `void *`... to be fair part of why I ignored the warning is because I wanted to poke at the generated assembly, not make useful code.
### Example
```rust
extern "C"
fn caller(callee: *const dyn Fn(i32)->i32){
// -- snip --
}
```
old warning:
```
warning: `extern` fn uses type `dyn Fn(i32) -> i32`, which is not FFI-safe
--> file/name.rs:42:19
|
42 | fn caller(callee: *const dyn Fn(i32)->i32) {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not FFI-safe
|
= note: trait objects have no C equivalent
= note: `#[warn(improper_ctypes_definitions)]` on by default
```
new warning:
```
warning: `extern` fn uses type `dyn Fn(i32) -> i32`, which is not FFI-safe
--> file/name.rs:42:19
|
42 | fn caller(callee: *const dyn Fn(i32)->i32) -> (){
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not FFI-safe
|
= note: this pointer to an unsized type contains metadata, which makes it incompatible with a C pointer
= note: `#[warn(improper_ctypes_definitions)]` on by default
```

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
