Make GraphicsContext::window_mut() an unsafe fn.
As documented in the new safety comment, providing `&mut` access to an inner component about which there are consistency invariants is unsafe, because `&mut` is sufficient for a caller to completely replace the value (using assignment or `std::mem::swap()`). Luckily, when `softbuffer` is used with `winit`, no `&mut` access is needed. However, other windowing libraries such as `glfw` and `sdl2` do have `&mut` methods, so this method can't simply be removed. This is a breaking change since it makes a previously safe function unsafe, and should not be published without a major version bump (i.e. to `0.2.0` or higher).
