Use raw pointer casts for slice, str's .as_ptr()
We can now use raw pointer casts `*const [T] as *const T` and
`*const str as *const u8` instead of .repr() for getting the
pointer out of a slice.
These types were already `!Sync`, but this improves error messages when they are used in contexts that require `Sync`, aligning them with conventions used with `Rc`, among others.

Hello.
Quite a few of the links in the `core` module concerning redirection to additional primitive type documentation are broken. I noticed in #30214 that there seemed to be a consensus with linking across to `std` module documentation from the `core` module. This is what I've done with the `core` modules for primitive types.
If the changes here are good to go forward with, I'll happily tend to adding more documentation links for the extension traits in the aforementioned issue if need be.

.copy_from_slice() does the same job of .clone_from_slice(), but the
former is explicitly for Copy elements and calls `memcpy` directly, and
thus is it efficient without optimization too.

I've made these unstable for now. Should they be stabilized straight away since we've had plenty of experience with people using the unstable intrinsics?
fmt: Make sure write_fmt's implementation can use write_char
It looks like the Adapter inside write_fmt was never updated to forward
the write_char method.
`wrapping_shl` and `wrapping_shr` are easy to mistake for rotations, when in fact they work somewhat differently. The documentation currently available is a little sparse and easy to misinterpret, so I've added a warning to anyone who bumps into them that the equivalent rotate methods may actually be what they're looking for.
If it's deemed useful to add a symmetrical mention to the documentation for the `rotate_left` and `rotate_right` methods, I can certainly have a go at that, but my gut feeling is that people likely to want a rotate will already know about the wrapping-arithmetic methods, for example from writing CPU simulators.
This allows printing pointers to unsized types with the {:p} formatting
directive. The following impls are extended to unsized types:
- impl<'a, T: ?Sized> Pointer for &'a T
- impl<'a, T: ?Sized> Pointer for &'a mut T
- impl<T: ?Sized> Pointer for *const T
- impl<T: ?Sized> Pointer for *mut T
- impl<T: ?Sized> fmt::Pointer for Box<T>
- impl<T: ?Sized> fmt::Pointer for Rc<T>
- impl<T: ?Sized> fmt::Pointer for Arc<T>
This commit does two things:
* Re-works the module-level documentation.
* Cleaning up wording and adding links to where error types are used.
Part of #29364

Since a lexicographic ordering of a struct could vary based on which struct members are compared first, I ended up doing some testing to ensure that the behavior when deriving these traits was what I expected (ordered based on the top to bottom order of declaration of the members). I wanted to add this little bit of documentation to potentially save someone else the same effort. That is, assuming that my testing correctly reflects the intended behavior of the compiler.
