Implement split_at_spare_mut without Deref to a slice so that the spare slice is valid
~I'm not sure I understand what's going on here correctly. And I'm pretty sure this safety comment needs to be changed. I'm just referring to the same thing that `as_mut_ptr_range` does.~ (Thanks `@RalfJung` for the guidance and clearing things up)
I tried to run https://github.com/rust-lang/miri-test-libstd on alloc with -Zmiri-track-raw-pointers, and got a failure on the test `vec::test_extend_from_within`.
I minimized the test failure into this program:
```rust
#![feature(vec_split_at_spare)]
fn main() {
Vec::<i32>::with_capacity(1).split_at_spare_mut();
}
```
The problem is that the existing implementation is actually getting a pointer range where both pointers are derived from the initialized region of the Vec's allocation, but we need the second one to be valid for the region between len and capacity. (thanks Ralf for clearing this up)
The previous implementation used slice::as_mut_ptr_range to derive the
pointer for the spare capacity slice. This is invalid, because that
pointer is derived from the initialized region, so it does not have
provenance over the uninitialized region.

Fix `Vec::reserve_exact` documentation
The documentation previously said the new capacity cannot overflow `usize`, but in fact it cannot exceed `isize::MAX`.
replace vec::Drain drop loops with drop_in_place
The `Drain::drop` implementation came up in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82185#issuecomment-789584796 as potentially interfering with other optimization work due its widespread use somewhere in `println!`
`@rustbot` label T-libs-impl
For users looking at documentation through IDE popups, this gives them
relevant information rather than the generic trait documentation wording
“Performs the conversion”. For users reading the documentation for a
specific type for any reason, this informs them when the conversion may
allocate or copy significant memory versus when it is always a move or
cheap copy.
Notes on specific cases:
* The new documentation for `From<T> for T` explains that it is not a
conversion at all.
* Also documented `impl<T, U> Into<U> for T where U: From<T>`, the other
central blanket implementation of conversion.
* I did not add documentation to conversions of a specific error type to
a more general error type.
* I did not add documentation to unstable code.
This change was prepared by searching for the text "From<... for" and so
may have missed some cases that for whatever reason did not match. I
also looked for `Into` impls but did not find any worth documenting by
the above criteria.
If `Vec::push`'s capacity check fails it calls `RawVec::reserve`, which
then also does a capacity check.
This commit introduces `reserve_for_push` which skips the redundant
capacity check, for some slight compile time speed-ups.
I tried lots of minor variations on this, e.g. different inlining
attributes. This was the best one I could find.
Avoid allocations and copying in Vec::leak
The [`Vec::leak`] method (#62195) is currently implemented by calling `Vec::into_boxed_slice` and `Box::leak`. This shrinks the vector before leaking it, which potentially causes a reallocation and copies the vector's contents.
By avoiding the conversion to `Box`, we can instead leak the vector without any expensive operations, just by returning a slice reference and forgetting the `Vec`. Users who *want* to shrink the vector first can still do so by calling `shrink_to_fit` explicitly.
**Note:** This could break code that uses `Box::from_raw` to “un-leak” the slice returned by `Vec::leak`. However, the `Vec::leak` docs explicitly forbid this, so such code is already incorrect.

Correctly handle supertraits for min_specialization
Supertraits of specialization markers could circumvent checks for
min_specialization. Elaborating predicates prevents this.

implement advance_(back_)_by on more iterators
Add more efficient, non-default implementations for `feature(iter_advance_by)` (#77404) on more iterators and adapters.
This PR only contains implementations where skipping over items doesn't elide any observable side-effects such as user-provided closures or `clone()` functions. I'll put those in a separate PR.
Add truncate note to Vec::resize
A very minor addition to the `Vec::resize` documentation to point out the `truncate` method.
When I was searching for something matching `truncate` I managed to miss it, along with some colleagues. We later found it by chance. We did find `resize` however, so I was hoping to point it out in the documentation.
