Add two new fields, cblifetime and cbcount, to the `closure` type
in generator/API.ml*. cblifetime tells if the closure may only be used
for as long as the command is in flight or if the closure may be used
until the handle is destructed. cbcount tells whether the closure may
be called many times or just once.

This information is needed in the Rust bindings for:
a) Knowing if the closure trait should be FnMut or FnOnce
   (see <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.FnOnce.html>).
b) Knowing for what lifetime the closure should be valid. A closure that
   may be called after the function invokation has returned must live
   for the `'static` lietime. But static closures are inconveniant for
   the user since they can't effectively borrow any local data. So it is
   good if this restriction is relaxed when it is not needed.
