Description of changes:

First, I'm not clear on why I wrote that layout comparison was a requirement. raw_eq is implemented as memcmp and the documentation does not mention layout anywhere: https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/intrinsics/fn.raw_eq.html
What it does mention is that uninitialized memory in any of the arguments is undefined behavior.

This PR updates the notes on Rust feature support to mention uninitialized memory, which we had to do anyways because of #920. It also updates the comment on raw_eq and adds two new tests for checking the behavior with uninitialized data.

I think there is nothing else to be done with raw_eq until we can poison memory (see #920).

Resolved issues:

Resolves #347
Part of #727

Testing:

  • How is this change tested? Adds two tests

  • Is this a refactor change? No

let uninit_arr: [u8; 8] = unsafe { MaybeUninit::uninit().assume_init() };

let arr_are_eq = unsafe { raw_eq(&zeroed_arr, &uninit_arr) };
assert!(!arr_are_eq);

I'm not sure if this second test is necessary?

It's expressing that raw_eq is also true in at least one trace, thus complementing the other test case.
