Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<Void> is replaced by Unsafe[Mutable]RawPointer. Migrating often means simply removing casts to/from UnsafePointer<UInt8> and working directly with UnsafeRawPointer instead. Unfortunately some API's, like NSData still want UnsafePointer<UInt8>, which requires "binding" memory to UInt8 before passing it to the API.
Remove the generic parameter from NSObject withUnretainedReference. Raw pointers make it unnecessary and are incompatible with it. This is a source compatible change.
