Add {f32,f64}::approx_unchecked_to<Int> unsafe methods

As discussed in #10184

Currently, casting a floating point number to an integer with `as` is Undefined Behavior if the value is out of range. `-Z saturating-float-casts` fixes this soundness hole by making `as` “saturate” to the maximum or minimum value of the integer type (or zero for `NaN`), but has measurable negative performance impact in some benchmarks. There is some consensus in that thread for enabling saturation by default anyway, but provide an `unsafe fn` alternative for users who know through some other mean that their values are in range.
