Auto merge of rust-lang#138951 - jwnrt:alloc-raw-vec-strict-prov, r=<try>

Replace last `usize` -> `ptr` transmute in `alloc` with strict provenance API

This conversion doesn't trip `fuzzy_provenance_casts` because it's a `transmute`, but it still causes CHERI targets to fail compiling because of the size difference.

While I was here I changed the `align` arg in the (internal) `RawVecInner::new_in` function to an `Alignment` type to encode the non-zero constraint of `Unique`.

I recognise that bit is slightly messy, especially now that there's an `Alignment -> usize -> Alignment -> usize` chain from `Layout::align` + `Alignment::new_unchecked` + `Alignment::usize`. Happy to drop that commit if it's not helpful.
