…t_slice_concat, r=RalfJung

Improve documentation of `slice::from_raw_parts`

This is to provide a more explicit statement against a code pattern that
many people end up coming with, since the reason of it being unsound
comes from the badly known single-allocation validity rule.

Providing that very pattern as a counter-example could help mitigate that.
