std: Unsafe-away runtime checks in `Vec`

The `RawVec` type has a number of invariants that it upholds throughout its
execution, and as a result many of the runtime checks imposed by using `Layout`
in a "raw" fashion aren't actually necessary. For example a `RawVec`'s capacity
is intended to always match the layout which "fits" the allocation, so we don't
need any runtime checks when retrieving the current `Layout` for a vector.
Consequently, this adds a safe `current_layout` function which internally uses
the `from_size_align_unchecked` function.

Along the same lines we know that most construction of new layouts will not
overflow. All allocations in `RawVec` are kept below `isize::MAX` and valid
alignments are also kept low enough that we're guaranteed that `Layout` for a
doubled vector will never overflow and will always succeed construction.
Consequently a few locations can use `from_size_align_unchecked` in addition
when constructing the *new* layout to allocate (or reallocate), which allows for
eliding some more runtime checks.

Overall this should significant improve performance for an important function,
`RawVec::double`. This commit removes four runtime jumps before `__rust_realloc`
is called, as well as one after it's called.
