Reuse the mem::swap optimizations to speed up slice::rotate

Exposes the swapping logic from PR 40454 as `pub unsafe fn ptr::swap_nonoverlapping` under feature swap_nonoverlapping

This is most helpful for compound types where LLVM didn't vectorize the loop.  Highlight: bench slice::rotate_medium_by727_strings gets 38% faster.
