layout_of: `T: Thin` implies `sizeof(&T) == sizeof(usize)`

Use the `<T as Pointee>::Metadata` associated type to calculate the layout of a pointee's metadata, instead of hard-coding rules about certain types.

Maybe this approach is overkill -- we could instead hard-code this approach as a fallback, with the matching on `Slice`/`Dynamic`/etc. happening first

Fixes this issue here rust-lang#104338 (comment) .. But is also useful with transmutes, for example, given the UI test I added below.
