Remove ptr-int transmute in std::sync::mpsc

Since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95340 landed, Miri with
-Zmiri-check-number-validity produces an error on the test suites of
some crates which implement concurrency tools, because it seems like
such crates tend to use std::sync::mpsc in their tests. This fixes the
problem by storing pointer bytes in a pointer.
