Auto merge of #47832 - fintelia:vec-index, r=<try>

Have Vec use slice's implementations of Index<I> and IndexMut<I>

This PR simplifies the implementation of Index and IndexMut on Vec, and in the process enables indexing Vec by any user types that implement SliceIndex.

The stability annotations probably need to be changed, but I wasn't sure of the right way to do that. It also wasn't completely clear to me if this change could break any existing code.
