Rollup merge of #97675 - nvzqz:unsized-needs-drop, r=dtolnay

Make `std::mem::needs_drop` accept `?Sized`

This change attempts to make `needs_drop` work with types like `[u8]` and `str`.

This enables code in types like `Arc<T>` that was not possible before, such as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97676.
