Rollup merge of #85679 - hch12907:master, r=Mark-Simulacrum

Remove num_as_ne_bytes feature

From the discussion in #76976, it is determined that eventual results of the safe transmute work as a more general mechanism will let these conversions happen in safe code without needing specialized methods.

Merging this PR closes #76976 and resolves #64464. Several T-libs members have raised their opinion that it doesn't pull its weight as a standalone method, and so we should not track it as a specific thing to add.
