Rollup merge of #21926 - mzabaluev:raw-lifetime, r=alexcrichton

New functions, `slice::from_raw_parts` and `slice::from_raw_parts_mut`,
are added to implement the lifetime convention as agreed in rust-lang/rfcs#556.
The functions `slice::from_raw_buf` and `slice::from_raw_mut_buf` are
left deprecated for the time being.

Holding back on changing the signature of `std::ffi::c_str_to_bytes` as consensus in rust-lang/rfcs#592 is building to replace it with a composition of other functions.

Contribution to #21923.
