Rollup merge of rust-lang#58924 - cuviper:more-as_slice, r=dtolnay

Add as_slice() to slice::IterMut and vec::Drain

In indexmap-rs/indexmap#88, we found that there was no easy way to implement
`Debug` for our `IterMut` and `Drain` iterators. Those are built on
`slice::IterMut` and `vec::Drain`, which implement `Debug` themselves,
but have no other way to access their data. With a new `as_slice()`
method, we can read the data and customize its presentation.
