Place unions, pointer casts and pointer derefs behind extra feature gates

To ensure we don't stabilize these things together with const fn stabilization (or any other stabilization)

This PR moves union field accesses inside `const fn` behind a feature gate. It was possible without a feature gate before, but since `const fn` was behind a feature gate we can do this change.

While "dereferencing raw pointers" and "casting raw pointers to usize" were hard errors before this PR, one could work around them by abusing unions:

```rust
// deref
union Foo<T> {
    x: &'static T,
    y: *const T,
}
const FOO: u32 = unsafe { *Foo { y: 42 as *const T }.x };

// as usize cast
union Bar<T> {
    x: usize,
    y: *const T,
}
const BAR: usize = unsafe { Bar { y: &1u8 }.x };
```
