Rollup merge of rust-lang#100897 - RalfJung:const-not-to-mutable, r=lcnr

extra sanity check against consts pointing to mutable memory

This should be both unreachable and redundant (since we already ensure that validation only reads from read-only memory, when validating consts), but I feel like we cannot be paranoid enough here, and also if this ever fails it'll be a nicer error than the "cannot read from mutable memory" error.
