bors 43a78029b4 Auto merge of #110837 - scottmcm:offset-for-add, r=compiler-errors
Use MIR's `Offset` for pointer `add` too

~~Status: draft while waiting for #110822 to land, since this is built atop that.~~
~~r? `@ghost~~`

Canonical Rust code has mostly moved to `add`/`sub` on pointers, which take `usize`, instead of `offset` which takes `isize`.  (And, relatedly, when `sub_ptr` was added it turned out it replaced every single in-tree use of `offset_from`, because `usize` is just so much more useful than `isize` in Rust.)

Unfortunately, `intrinsics::offset` could only accept `*const` and `isize`, so there's a *huge* amount of type conversions back and forth being done.  They're identity conversions in the backend, but still end up producing quite a lot of unhelpful MIR.

This PR changes `intrinsics::offset` to accept `*const` *and* `*mut` along with `isize` *and* `usize`.  Conveniently, the backends and CTFE already handle this, since MIR's `BinOp::Offset` [already supports all four combinations](adaac6b166/compiler/rustc_const_eval/src/transform/validate.rs (L523-L528)).

To demonstrate the difference, I added some `mir-opt/pre-codegen/` tests around slice indexing.  Here's the difference to `[T]::get_mut`, since it uses `<*mut _>::add` internally:
