Rollup merge of #110706 - scottmcm:transmute_unchecked, r=oli-obk

Add `intrinsics::transmute_unchecked`

This takes a whole 3 lines in `compiler/` since it lowers to `CastKind::Transmute` in MIR *exactly* the same as the existing `intrinsics::transmute` does, it just doesn't have the fancy checking in `hir_typeck`.

Added to enable experimenting with the request in <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106281#issuecomment-1496648190> and because the portable-simd folks might be interested for dependently-sized array-vector conversions.

It also simplifies a couple places in `core`.

See also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108442#issuecomment-1474777273, where `CastKind::Transmute` was added having exactly these semantics before the lang meeting (which I wasn't in) independently expressed interest.
