offset: allow zero-byte offset on arbitrary pointers As per prior `@rust-lang/opsem` [discussion](https://github.com/rust-lang/opsem-team/issues/10) and [FCP](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/472#issuecomment-1793409130): - Zero-sized reads and writes are allowed on all sufficiently aligned pointers, including the null pointer - Inbounds-offset-by-zero is allowed on all pointers, including the null pointer - `offset_from` on two pointers derived from the same allocation is always allowed when they have the same address This removes surprising UB (in particular, even C++ allows "nullptr + 0", which we currently disallow), and it brings us one step closer to an important theoretical property for our semantics ("provenance monotonicity": if operations are valid on bytes without provenance, then adding provenance can't make them invalid). The minimum LLVM we require (v17) includes https://reviews.llvm.org/D154051, so we can finally implement this. The `offset_from` change is needed to maintain the equivalence with `offset`: if `let ptr2 = ptr1.offset(N)` is well-defined, then `ptr2.offset_from(ptr1)` should be well-defined and return N. Now consider the case where N is 0 and `ptr1` dangles: we want to still allow offset_from here. I think we should change offset_from further, but that's a separate discussion.
