Rollup merge of #104568 - RalfJung:realloc, r=Amanieu

clarify that realloc refreshes pointer provenance even when the allocation remains in-place

This [matches what C does](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/realloc):

> The original pointer ptr is invalidated and any access to it is undefined behavior (even if reallocation was in-place).
