Auto merge of rust-lang#60445 - RalfJung:maybe-uninit, r=Centril

stabilize core parts of MaybeUninit

and deprecate mem::uninitialized in the future (1.40.0). This is part of implementing rust-lang/rfcs#1892.

Also expand the documentation a bit.

This type is currently primarily useful when dealing with partially initialized arrays. In libstd, it is used e.g. in `BTreeMap` (with some unstable APIs that however can all be replaced, less ergonomically, by stable ones). What we stabilize should also be enough for `SmallVec` (Cc @bluss).

Making this useful for structs requires rust-lang/rfcs#2582 or a commitment that references to uninitialized data are not insta-UB.
