Changes in v3:
- Fix compilation (s/ptr/tail/) in "refactor `Vec::truncate` using
  `dec_len`".
- Fix grammar and s/alloc/realloc/ in a safety comment touched by "rust:
  alloc: add Vec::len() <= Vec::capacity invariant".
- Use `if let`. (Alice Ryhl).
- Avoid mutable reference after `drop_in_place`. (Alice Ryhl).
- Rebase on rust/alloc-next.
- Remove dependency on the `Vec::truncate` series which has been merged.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250318-vec-set-len-v2-0-293d55f82d18@xxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Avoid overflow in `set_len`. (Benno Lossin)
- Explained `CString::try_from_fmt` usage of `set_len`. (Benno Lossin,
  Miguel Ojeda, Alice Ryhl)
- Added missing SoB. (Alice Ryhl)
- Prepend a patch documenting `Vec::len() <= Vec::capacity()` invariant.
- Add a patch rewriting `Vec::truncate` in terms of `Vec::dec_len`.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250316-vec-set-len-v1-0-60f98a28723f@xxxxxxxxx
