Auto merge of #1875 - niluxv:volatile_set_memory_intrinsic, r=RalfJung

Add support for the `volatile_set_memory` intrinsic

Add support for the unstable `volatile_set_memory` intrinsic

(Runtime behaviour and soundness requirements for `volatile_set_memory` are identical to those of `write_bytes`, so supporting this intrinsic is trivial.)
