Rollup merge of rust-lang#72583 - CAD97:vec-iter-asref-slice, r=dtolnay

impl AsRef<[T]> for vec::IntoIter<T>

Adds `impl<T> AsRef<[T]> for vec::IntoIter<T>`. This mirrors the same trait impl for [`slice::Iter`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/slice/struct.Iter.html). Both types already offer `fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]`, this just adds the trait impl for `vec::IntoIter`.

If/when `fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]` stabilizes for `vec::Drain` and `slice::IterMut`, they should get `AsRef<[T]>` impls as well. As thus, tangentially related to rust-lang#58957.

My ultimate goal here: being able to use `for<T, I: Iterator<Item=T> + AsRef<[T]>> I` to refer to `vec::IntoIter`, `vec::Drain`, and eventually `array::IntoIter`, as an approximation of the set of by-value iterators that can be "previewed" as by-ref iterators. (Actually expressing that as a trait requires GAT.)
