Challenge 29: Verify safety of Box functions

Add Kani proof harnesses for Box functions specified in Challenge #29:
9 unsafe functions (assume_init, from_raw, from_non_null, from_raw_in,
from_non_null_in, downcast_unchecked x3) and 34 safe functions covering
allocation, conversion, cloning, downcasting, and trait implementations.
Exceeds the 75% safe function threshold (34/43 = 79%).
Resolves #526
