Auto merge of #76688 - yokodake:patch-2, r=kodrAus

Document unsafety in core::slice::memchr

Contributes to #66219

Note sure if that's good enough, especially for the `align_to` call.
The docs only mention transmuting and I don't think that everything related to reference lifetimes and state validity mentioned in the [nomicon](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/transmutes.html) are relevant here.
