Currently the lifetime on `Core` and `CoreInternal` is covariant. This
means that they can be coerced into shorter living lifetimes. On `probe`
function, signature has `&'bound Device<Core<'a>>`; the type's wellformness
would imply `'a: 'bound` and thus the type can be coerced `&'bound
Device<Core<'bound>>`, defeating the purpose of having the lifetime bound
to prevent users of the `Core` type to escape the function.
Fix this by making the lifetime invariant, so the coercion is impossible.
The lifetime here only needs to be "branded" so it does not coerce or unify
with other lifetimes, so we do not need to ensure `'bound: 'a`.
This requires modifying `nova-core` which relies on this implied bound due
to pre-2024 capture rule. The "use" bound can be removed if built with
edition 2024.
