util/codegen: treat unique.Handle as an opaque value type

It doesn't need a Clone method, like a time.Time, etc.

And then, because Go 1.23+ uses unique.Handle internally for
the netip package types, we can remove those special cases.

Updates #14058 (pulled out from that PR)
Updates tailscale/corp#24485
