Rollup merge of #59056 - scottmcm:even-fewer-lifetimes, r=sfackler

Use lifetime contravariance to elide more lifetimes in core+alloc+std

Sample:
```diff
-    impl<'a, 'b, A: ?Sized, B: ?Sized> PartialEq<&'b mut B> for &'a mut A where A: PartialEq<B> {
+    impl<A: ?Sized, B: ?Sized> PartialEq<&mut B> for &mut A where A: PartialEq<B> {
         #[inline]
-        fn eq(&self, other: &&'b mut B) -> bool { PartialEq::eq(*self, *other) }
+        fn eq(&self, other: &&mut B) -> bool { PartialEq::eq(*self, *other) }
         #[inline]
-        fn ne(&self, other: &&'b mut B) -> bool { PartialEq::ne(*self, *other) }
+        fn ne(&self, other: &&mut B) -> bool { PartialEq::ne(*self, *other) }
     }
```

[I didn't know this worked](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/why-can-you-use-different-unconstrained-lifetimes-to-implement-traits/9544/2?u=scottmcm) until recently, but since defining methods contravariantly in their lifetimes this way has worked back to Rust 1.0, we might as well take advantage of combining it with IHLE.
