Make QueryFilter an unsafe trait (#14790)
# Objective

It's possible to create UB using an implementation of `QueryFilter` that
performs mutable access, but that does not violate any documented safety
invariants.

This code: 
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo(usize);

// This derive is a simple way to get a valid WorldQuery impl.  The QueryData impl isn't used.
#[derive(QueryData)]
#[query_data(mutable)]
struct BadFilter<'w> {
    foo: &'w mut Foo,
}

impl QueryFilter for BadFilter<'_> {
    const IS_ARCHETYPAL: bool = false;

    unsafe fn filter_fetch(
        fetch: &mut Self::Fetch<'_>,
        entity: Entity,
        table_row: TableRow,
    ) -> bool {
        // SAFETY: fetch and filter_fetch have the same safety requirements
        let f: &mut usize = &mut unsafe { Self::fetch(fetch, entity, table_row) }.foo.0;
        println!("Got &mut at     {f:p}");
        true
    }
}

let mut world = World::new();
world.spawn(Foo(0));
world.run_system_once(|query: Query<&Foo, BadFilter>| {
    let f: &usize = &query.iter().next().unwrap().0;
    println!("Got & at        {f:p}");
    query.iter().next().unwrap();
    println!("Still have & at {f:p}");
});
```

prints: 

```
Got &mut at     0x1924b92dfb0
Got & at        0x1924b92dfb0
Got &mut at     0x1924b92dfb0
Still have & at 0x1924b92dfb0
```

Which means it had an `&` and `&mut` alive at the same time.

The only `unsafe` there is around `Self::fetch`, but I believe that call
correctly upholds the safety invariant, and matches what `Added` and
`Changed` do.


## Solution

Make `QueryFilter` an unsafe trait and document the requirement that the
`WorldQuery` implementation be read-only.

## Migration Guide

`QueryFilter` is now an `unsafe trait`. If you were manually
implementing it, you will need to verify that the `WorldQuery`
implementation is read-only and then add the `unsafe` keyword to the
`impl`.
