Additional *mut [T] methods

Split out from rust-lang#94247

This adds the following methods to raw slices that already exist on regular slices

* `*mut [T]::is_empty`
* `*mut [T]::split_at_mut`
* `*mut [T]::split_at_unchecked`

These methods reduce the amount of unsafe code needed to migrate ChunksMut and related iterators
to raw slices (rust-lang#94247)
