Rollup merge of rust-lang#132031 - slanterns:rc_default, r=ibraheemdev

Optimize `Rc<T>::default`

The missing piece of rust-lang#131460.

Also refactored `Arc<T>::default` by using a safe `NonNull::from(Box::leak(_))` to replace the unnecessarily unsafe call to `NonNull::new_unchecked(Box::into_raw(_))`. The remaining unsafety is coming from `[Rc|Arc]::from_inner`, which is safe from the construction of `[Rc|Arc]Inner`.
