Rollup merge of #67462 - DutchGhost:const_slice_from_raw_parts, r=dtolnay

Make ptr::slice_from_raw_parts a const fn available under a feature flag

A first step in the direction of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67456 .
This makes `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` and `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts_mut` available as a const fn under a feature flag.
