The pointer in the slice must not be null, because enum representations
make that assumption. The `exchange_malloc` function returns a non-null
sentinel for the zero size case, and it must not be passed to the
`exchange_free` lang item.
Since the length is always equal to the true capacity, a branch on the
length is enough for most types. Slices of zero size types are
statically special cased to never attempt deallocation. This is the same
implementation as `Vec<T>`.
