Make explicit guarantees about Vec’s allocator
This commit amends the documentation of `Vec::as_mut_ptr` and
`Vec::into_raw_parts` to make it explicit that such calls may be paired
with calls to `dealloc` with a suitable layout. This guarantee was
effectively already provided by the docs of `Vec::from_raw_parts`
mentioning `alloc`.

Additionally, we copy-paste and adjust the “Memory layout” section from
the documentation of `std::boxed` to `std::vec`. This explains the allocator
guarantees in more detail.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
