Rollup merge of #132758 - nnethercote:improve-get_key_value-docs, r=cuviper

Improve `{BTreeMap,HashMap}::get_key_value` docs.

They are unusual methods. The docs don't really describe the cases when they might be useful (as opposed to just `get`), and the examples don't demonstrate the interesting cases at all.

This commit improves the docs and the examples.
