Add pointer masking convenience functions

This PR adds the following public API:
```rust
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
    fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}

impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
    fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}

// mod intrinsics
fn mask<T>(ptr: *const T, mask: usize) -> *const T
```
This is equivalent to `ptr.map_addr(|a| a & mask)` but also uses a cool llvm intrinsic.

Proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95643#issuecomment-1121562352
