Feature gate: #![feature(nonnull_provenance)]

This is a tracking issue for some provenance functions on NonNull that were missed in the initial strict provenance stabilization.

Public API

// core::ptr

impl<T> NonNull<T> {
    pub const fn without_provenance(addr: NonZero<usize>) -> Self;
    pub fn from_exposed_provenance(addr: NonZero<usize>) -> Self;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> NonNull<T> {
    pub fn expose_provenance(self) -> NonZero<usize>;
}

add missing provenance APIs on NonNull

This adds some provenance APIs that exist on raw pointers but have been forgotten on `NonNull`:
```rust
impl<T> NonNull<T> {
    pub const fn without_provenance(addr: NonZero<usize>) -> Self;
    pub fn from_exposed_provenance(addr: NonZero<usize>) -> Self;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> NonNull<T> {
    pub fn expose_provenance(self) -> NonZero<usize>;
}
```
rust-lang/libs-team#518 is the ACP for the two exposed provenance ones; I forgot to include `without_provenance` there but I hope that, too, is uncontroversial (and anyway this PR only adds things unstably). Cc `@rust-lang/libs-api`

This without_provenance taking NonZero is beautiful, since it means that code (in Rc) that used to be NonNull::new_unchecked(ptr::without_provenance(MAX)) can now be safe 👍

Use `NonNull::without_provenance` within the standard library

This API removes the need for several `unsafe` blocks, and leads to clearer code. It uses feature `nonnull_provenance` (rust-lang#135243).

Less unsafe in `dangling`/`without_provenance`

This PR was inspired by the new `NonNull::without_provenance` (cc rust-lang#135243 (comment)) since it made me realize that we could write `NonNull::dangling` in completely-safe code using other existing things.

Then doing that led me to a few more places that could be simplified, like now that GVN will optimize Transmute-then-PtrToPtr, we can just implement `ptr::without_provenance` by calling `ptr::without_provenance_mut` since the shipped rlib of `core` ends up with the same single statement as the implementation (thanks to GVN merging the steps) and thus there's no need to duplicate the `transmute` -- and more importantly, no need to repeat a long safety comment.

There did end up being a couple of other changes needed to avoid exploding certain bits of MIR, though -- like `<Box<[i32]>>::default()`'s MIR originally got way worse as certain things didn't inline, or had a bunch of extraneous UbChecks -- so there's a couple of other changes to solve that.
