Purpose
Extend the lifetime in the generated code so that if the return value of the call has references that refer to host the generated code still compiles.
In particular this comes up in advanced cases where we have an entrypoint of a contract of the form
where the return value
impl Serial
would typically refer to either the host (via state if it is retrieving the state) or to the parameter.This was discovered while prototyping Concordium/concordium-rust-smart-contracts#386
