slice: Remove some uses of unsafe in first/last chunk methods

Remove unsafe `split_at_unchecked` and `split_at_mut_unchecked` in some slice `split_first_chunk`/`split_last_chunk` methods.
Replace those calls with the safe `split_at` and `split_at_checked` where applicable.

Add codegen tests to check for no panics when calculating the last chunk index using `checked_sub` and `split_at`.

---

The unchecked calls are mostly manual implementations of the safe methods, but with the safety condition negated from `mid <= len` to `len < mid`.
```rust
if self.len() < N {
    None
} else {
    // SAFETY: We manually verified the bounds of the split.
    let (first, tail) = unsafe { self.split_at_unchecked(N) };
    // Or for the last_chunk methods
    let (init, last) = unsafe { self.split_at_unchecked(self.len() - N) };
```

Unsafe is still needed for the pointer array casts. Their safety comments are unmodified.
