Mem uninit doc ptr drop

[Firstyear]

Extend the mem::uninitialized documentation to account for partially initialized arrays and how to correctly handle these. These are used in some datastructures (trees for example) or in FFI.

I've updated based on your feedback @Manishearth, I think the travis build failure is not related to this work.

[Manishearth]

It's related: [00:03:41] tidy error: /checkout/src/libcore/mem.rs:617: line longer than 100 chars

[Firstyear]

I apologise, I really didn't see that error. I was staring at the log for quite a while :( Fixed and pushing.
