Auto merge of #135344 - scottmcm:safe-dangling, r=joboet
Less unsafe in `dangling`/`without_provenance` This PR was inspired by the new `NonNull::without_provenance` (cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/135243#issuecomment-2583913562) 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.
