add: clean api to get `raw_ptr` type

There doesn't seem to be an API to fetch the type of `raw_ptr`, which is helpful for a project I work on.

Notes:

- I am unsure about the function name, do let me know if I should use something else.
- Also unsure about where to add tests, for hir changes. Will fix it as needed.
