Rollup merge of #145174 - 197g:issue-145148-select-unpredictable-drop, r=joboet
Ensure consistent drop for panicking drop in hint::select_unpredictable
There are a few alternatives to the implementation. The principal problem is that the selected value must be owned (in the sense of having a drop flag of sorts) when the unselected value is dropped, such that panic unwind goes through the drop of both. This ownership must then be passed on in return when the drop went smoothly.
The basic way of achieving this is by extracting the selected value first, at the cost of relying on the optimizer a little more for detecting the copy as constructing the return value despite having a place in the body. Unfortunately, that causes LLVM to discard the !unpredictable annotation (for some reason that is beyond my comprehension of LLVM).

So instead, this PR includes a guard to drop the selected `MaybeUnit<T>` which is active only for the section where the unselected value is dropped. That leaves the code for selecting the result intact leading to the expected ir. That complicates the 'unselection' process a little bit since we require _both_ values as a result of that intrinsic call. Since the arguments alias, this portion as well as the drop guard uses raw pointers.
