Rollup merge of #128306 - WiktorPrzetacznik:WiktorPrzetacznik-nonnull-alignoffset-update, r=Amanieu

Update NonNull::align_offset quarantees

This PR proposes to update [`NonNull::align_offset`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ptr/struct.NonNull.html#method.align_offset) guarantees, which should to be matched with [`ptr::align_offset`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.align_offset-1)
(as `NonNull::align_offset` delegates to `ptr::align_offset`).

[PR #121201](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121201) updated only `ptr::align_offset` docs.
