Auto merge of #79222 - yoshuawuyts:slice-fill-with, r=m-ou-se

Add `core::slice::fill_with`

Tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79221.

As suggested by `@m-ou-se` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70758#issuecomment-726838099 this implements `slice::fill_with` as a counterpart to `slice::fill`. This mirrors `Vec::resize` and `Vec::resize_with`. Thanks!
