ptr: introduce len() method on raw slices

It is already possible to extract the pointer part of a raw slice by a
simple cast, but retrieving the length is not possible without relying
on the representation of the raw slice when it is not valid to convert
the raw slice into a slice reference (i.e. the pointer is null or
unaligned).

~Introduce a new function ptr::slice_len() to add this missing feature.~

Introduce a len() method on raw slices to add this missing feature.
