safe transmute: Rename BikeshedIntrinsicFrom to TransmuteFrom

As our implementation of MCP411 nears completion and we begin to
solicit testing, it's no longer reasonable to expect testers to
type or remember `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`. The name degrades the
ease-of-reading of documentation, and the overall experience of
using compiler safe transmute.

Tentatively, we'll instead adopt `TransmuteFrom`.

This name seems to be the one most likely to be stabilized, after
discussion on Zulip [1]. We may want to revisit the ordering of
`Src` and `Dst` before stabilization, at which point we'd likely
consider `TransmuteInto` or `Transmute`.
