Use `load`+`store` instead of `memcpy` for small integer arrays
I was inspired by #98892 to see whether, rather than making `mem::swap` do something smart in the library, we could update MIR assignments like `*_1 = *_2` to do something smarter than `memcpy` for sufficiently-small types that doing it inline is going to be better than a `memcpy` call in assembly anyway. After all, special code may help `mem::swap`, but if the "obvious" MIR can just result in the correct thing that helps everything -- other code like `mem::replace`, people doing it manually, and just passing around by value in general -- as well as makes MIR inlining happier since it doesn't need to deal with all the complicated library code if it just sees a couple assignments.
LLVM will turn the short, known-length `memcpy`s into direct instructions in the backend, but that's too late for it to be able to remove `alloca`s. In general, replacing `memcpy`s with typed instructions is hard in the middle-end -- even for `memcpy.inline` where it knows it won't be a function call -- is hard [due to poison propagation issues](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/187780-t-compiler.2Fwg-llvm/topic/memcpy.20vs.20load-store.20for.20MIR.20assignments/near/360376712). So because we know more about the type invariants -- these are typed copies -- rustc can emit something more specific, allowing LLVM to `mem2reg` away the `alloca`s in some situations.
#52051 previously did something like this in the library for `mem::swap`, but it ended up regressing during enabling mir inlining (
