Auto merge of #74605 - rust-lang:vec-leak, r=Amanieu

Stabilize Vec::leak as a method

Closes #62195

The signature is changed to a method rather than an associated function:

```diff
-pub fn leak<'a>(vec: Vec<T>) -> &'a mut [T]
+pub fn leak<'a>(self) -> &'a mut [T]
```

The reason for `Box::leak` not to be a method (`Deref` to an arbitrary `T` which might have its own, different `leak` method) does not apply.
