Mark std::mem::size_of and std::mem::size_of_val as const function

[mzji]

This allows using size_of and size_of_val in constants contexts. Does this need an RFC?

IIRC from the last time this came up, the data used by these intrinsics isn't available until the translation pass, long after const-expansion, and because of things like arrays, where you can use a const fn for the size, it becomes a chicken-or-egg problem. Imagine if you had something like this:

type MyArray = [i32; size_of::<MyArray>];

Of course, you could paper over this by making it an error to do something like this, but that would require an RFC.

@abonander You are right. If we want to do this, we need to add a constrain to size_of and size_of_val to make them only accept "concrete" types (i.e. types with known size). If it's related to the compilation passes then I think we need to listen to some rustc gurus.
