Handle overflow properly in core::slice

core::slice was originally written to tolerate overflow (notably, with
slices of zero-sized elements), but it was never updated to use wrapping
arithmetic when overflow traps were added.

Also correctly handle the case of calling .nth() on an Iter with a
zero-sized element type. The iterator was assuming that the pointer
value of the returned reference was meaningful, but that's not true for
zero-sized elements.

Fixes #25016.
