Auto merge of #51134 - RalfJung:from_raw_parts, r=SimonSapin

extend from_raw_parts docs for slices and strs to mention alignment requirement

The documentation for `str::from_raw_parts_mut` seems to not be visible because that method is private, bit I figured it could still be fixed. I also removed the reference to the no-longer-existing `str::from_raw_parts` while I was at it.

Alternatively, should I remove `str::from_raw_parts_mut` completely? it is only used in `str::split_at_mut`, where it might as well be inlined.
