avoid violating `slice::from_raw_parts` safety contract in `Vec::extract_if`
The implementation of the `Vec::extract_if` iterator violates the safety contract adverized by `slice::from_raw_parts` by always constructing a mutable slice for the entire length of the vector even though that span of memory can contain holes from items already drained. The safety contract of `slice::from_raw_parts` requires that all elements must be properly
initialized.
As an example we can look at the following code:
```rust
let mut v = vec![Box::new(0u64), Box::new(1u64)];
for item in v.extract_if(.., |x| **x == 0) {
drop(item);
}
```
In the second iteration a `&mut [Box<u64>]` slice of length 2 will be constructed. The first slot of the slice contains the bitpattern of an already deallocated box, which is invalid.
This fixes the issue by only creating references to valid items and using pointer manipulation for the rest. I have also taken the liberty to remove the big `unsafe` blocks in place of targetted ones with a SAFETY comment. The approach closely mirrors the implementation of `Vec::retain_mut`.
**Note to reviewers:** The diff is easier to follow with whitespace hidden.
