Rollup merge of #69058 - TimDiekmann:box, r=Amanieu

Preparation for allocator aware `Box`

This cleans up the `Box` code a bit, and uses `Box::from_raw(ptr)` instead of `Box(ptr)`.
Additionally, `box_free` and `exchange_malloc` now uses the `AllocRef` trait and a comment was added on how `box_free` is tied to `Box`.

This a preparation for an upcoming PR, which makes `Box` aware of an allocator.
