Tracking issue: #149075
Accepted ACP: rust-lang/libs-team#483
This PR implements
clone_from_ref(andtry_*and_*invariants), to get aBox<T>,Arc<T>, orRc<T>by cloning from a&TwhereT: CloneToUninit.The "Implement..." commits replace some ad-hoc conversions with
clone_from_refvariants, which can be split out to a separate PR if desired.This PR will conflict with #148769 due to usage of
Layout::dangling(which that PR is renaming todangling_ptr), so they should not be rolled up together, and the one which merges later will need to be amended.
