Replace MaybeUninit::uninit_array() with array repeat expression.

This is possible now that inline const blocks are stable; the idea was
even mentioned as an alternative when `uninit_array()` was added:

Const array repetition and inline const blocks are now stable (in the
next release), so that circumstance has come to pass, and we no longer
have reason to want `uninit_array()` other than convenience. Therefore,
let’s evaluate the inconvenience by not using `uninit_array()` in
the standard library, before potentially deleting it entirely.
