Do not promote &mut of a non-ZST ever
Since ~pre-1.0~ 1.36, we have accepted code like this:
```rust
static mut TEST: &'static mut [i32] = {
let x = &mut [1,2,3];
x
};
```
I tracked it back to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/21744, but unfortunately could not find any discussion or RFC that would explain why we thought this was a good idea. And it's not, it breaks all sorts of things -- see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75556.
To fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75556, we have to stop promoting non-ZST mutable references no matter the context, which is what this PR does. It's a breaking change.
Notice that this still works, since it does not rely on promotion:
```rust
static mut TEST: &'static mut [i32] = &mut [0,1,2];
```
