suggest `slice::swap` for `mem::swap(&mut x[0], &mut x[1])` borrowck error

Recently saw someone ask why this code (example slightly modified):
```rs
fn main() {
  let mut foo = [1, 2];
  std::mem::swap(&mut foo[0], &mut foo[1]);
}
```
triggers this error and how to fix it:
```
error[E0499]: cannot borrow `foo[_]` as mutable more than once at a time
 --> src/main.rs:4:33
  |
4 |     std::mem::swap(&mut foo[0], &mut foo[1]);
  |     -------------- -----------  ^^^^^^^^^^^ second mutable borrow occurs here
  |     |              |
  |     |              first mutable borrow occurs here
  |     first borrow later used by call
  |
  = help: consider using `.split_at_mut(position)` or similar method to obtain two mutable non-overlapping sub-slices
```
The current help message is nice and goes in the right direction, but I think we can do better for this specific instance and suggest `slice::swap`, which makes this compile
