Stabilize `slice_first_last_chunk`

This PR does a few different things based around stabilizing `slice_first_last_chunk`. They are split up so this PR can be by-commit reviewed, I can move parts to a separate PR if desired.

This feature provides a very elegant API to extract arrays from either end of a slice, such as for parsing integers from binary data.

## Stabilize `slice_first_last_chunk`

ACP: rust-lang/libs-team#69
Implementation: rust-lang#90091
Tracking issue: rust-lang#111774

This stabilizes the functionality from rust-lang#111774:

```rust
impl [T] {
    pub const fn first_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<&[T; N]>;
    pub fn first_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut [T; N]>;
    pub const fn last_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<&[T; N]>;
    pub fn last_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut [T; N]>;
    pub const fn split_first_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<(&[T; N], &[T])>;
    pub fn split_first_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut [T; N], &mut [T])>;
    pub const fn split_last_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<(&[T], &[T; N])>;
    pub fn split_last_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut [T], &mut [T; N])>;
}
```

Const stabilization is included for all non-mut methods, which are blocked on `const_mut_refs`. This change includes marking the trivial function `slice_split_at_unchecked` const-stable for internal use (but not fully stable).

## Remove `split_array` slice methods

Tracking issue: rust-lang#90091
Implementation: rust-lang#83233 (review)

This PR also removes the following unstable methods from the `split_array` feature, rust-lang#90091:

```rust
impl<T> [T] {
    pub fn split_array_ref<const N: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; N], &[T]);
    pub fn split_array_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> (&mut [T; N], &mut [T]);

    pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const N: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; N]);
    pub fn rsplit_array_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> (&mut [T], &mut [T; N]);
}
```

This is done because discussion at rust-lang#90091 and its implementation PR indicate a strong preference for nonpanicking APIs that return `Option`. The only difference between functions under the `split_array` and `slice_first_last_chunk` features is `Option` vs. panic, so remove the duplicates as part of this stabilization.

This does not affect the array methods from `split_array`. We will want to revisit these once `generic_const_exprs` is further along.

## Reverse order of return tuple for `split_last_chunk{,_mut}`

An unresolved question for rust-lang#111774 is whether to return `(preceding_slice, last_chunk)` (`(&[T], &[T; N])`) or the reverse (`(&[T; N], &[T])`), from `split_last_chunk` and `split_last_chunk_mut`. It is currently implemented as `(last_chunk, preceding_slice)` which matches `split_last -> (&T, &[T])`. The first commit changes these to `(&[T], &[T; N])` for these reasons:

- More consistent with other splitting methods that return multiple values: `str::rsplit_once`, `slice::split_at{,_mut}`, `slice::align_to` all return tuples with the items in order
- More intuitive (arguably opinion, but it is consistent with other language elements like pattern matching `let [a, b, rest @ ..] ...`
- If we ever added a varidic way to obtain multiple chunks, it would likely return something in order: `.split_many_last::<(2, 4)>() -> (&[T], &[T; 2], &[T; 4])`
- It is the ordering used in the `rsplit_array` methods

I think the inconsistency with `split_last` could be acceptable in this case, since for `split_last` the scalar `&T` doesn't have any internal order to maintain with the other items.

## Unresolved questions

Do we want to reserve the same names on `[u8; N]` to avoid inference confusion? rust-lang#117561 (comment)

`slice_first_last_chunk` has only been around since early 2023, but `split_array` has been around since 2021.
