Add a Lint for Pointer to Integer Transmutes in Consts

Fixes #87525

This PR adds a MirLint for pointer to integer transmutes in const functions and associated consts. The implementation closely follows this comment: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85769#issuecomment-880969112. More details about the implementation can be found in the comments.

Note: This could break some sound code as mentioned by RalfJung in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85769#issuecomment-886491680:

> ... technically const-code could transmute/cast an int to a ptr and then transmute it back and that would be correct -- so the lint will deny some sound code. Does not seem terribly likely though.
