Conversion between STRef RealWorld and IORef

[John Lato]

Really a function like mkWeakIORef should be exposed for STRef's. I know
there's supposed to be a patch to normalize various weak'ish things
(ekmett?), maybe that function could be added at the same time.

Until then, I would suggesy unpacking the STRef to get at the underlying
MutVar#, and copy the IORef code (which IIRC also works on MutVar#) to
write the function yourself.
