Avoid useless sift_down when std::collections::binary_heap::PeekMut is never mutably dereferenced

If `deref_mut` is never called then it's not possible for the element to be mutated without internal mutability, meaning there's no need to call `sift_down`.

This could be a little improvement in cases where you want to mutate the biggest element of the heap only if it satisfies a certain predicate that needs only read access to the element.
