Simplify the implementation of iterators over slices of ZSTs

Currently, slice iterators over ZSTs store `end = start.wrapping_byte_add(len)`.

That's slightly convenient for `is_empty`, but kinda annoying for pretty much everything else -- see bugs like #42789, for example.

This PR instead changes it to just `end = ptr::invalid(len)` instead.

That's easier to think about (IMHO, at least) as well as easier to represent.

`next` is still to big to get inlined into the mir-opt/pre-codegen/ tests, but if I bump the inline threshold to force it to show the whole thing, this implementation is also less MIR:
```

182     254     tests/mir-opt/pre-codegen/slice_iter.slice_iter_next.PreCodegen.after.mir
```
(That's ≈70 lines less for `Iter::next`, for example.)
