Argument type for mutable with_metadata_of (rust-lang#75091)
The method takes two pointer arguments: one `self` supplying the pointer
value, and a second pointer supplying the metadata.
The new parameter type more clearly reflects the actual requirements.
The provenance of the metadata parameter is disregarded completely.
Using a mutable pointer in the call site can be coerced to a const
pointer while the reverse is not true.
An example of the current use:
```rust
// Manually taking an unsized object from a `ManuallyDrop` into another allocation.
let val: &core::mem::ManuallyDrop<T> = …;
let ptr = val as *const _ as *mut T;
let ptr = uninit.as_ptr().with_metadata_of(ptr);
```
This could then instead be simplified to:
```rust
// Manually taking an unsized object from a `ManuallyDrop` into another allocation.
let val: &core::mem::ManuallyDrop<T> = …;
let ptr = uninit.as_ptr().with_metadata_of(&**val);
