Rollup merge of rust-lang#129653 - RalfJung:addr-of-read-only, r=scottmcm

clarify that addr_of creates read-only pointers

Stacked Borrows does make this UB, but Tree Borrows does not. This is tied up with rust-lang#56604 and other UCG discussions. Also see [this collection of links](Rust-for-Linux/linux#950 (comment)) where rustc treats `addr_of!` as a "non-mutating use".

So, let's better be careful for now.
