/// # Safety
/// - `val` must be a pointer previously returned from FFI or null.
/// - After calling this function, `val` must not be used again.

/// Creates a new heap-allocated `Key` with a given name and value.
///
/// # Parameters
/// - `c_name`: Pointer to a null-terminated C string containing the key name.
/// - `val`: Pointer to a heap-allocated `Value` to assign to the key.
///
/// # Returns
/// - Pointer to a heap-allocated `Key`.
/// - Returns `null` if any pointer is null or if the name conversion fails.
///
/// # Safety
/// - Ownership of `val` is transferred to the `Key`.
/// - The returned pointer must eventually be freed with `key_free` to avoid memory leaks.
