Rollup merge of rust-lang#126956 - joboet:fmt_no_extern_ty, r=RalfJung

core: avoid `extern type`s in formatting infrastructure ```@RalfJung``` [said](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/Use.20of.20.60extern.20type.60.20in.20formatting.20machinery/near/446552837): >How attached are y'all to using `extern type` in the formatting machinery? Seems like this was introduced a [long time ago](rust-lang@34ef8f5). However, it's also [not really compatible with Stacked Borrows](rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#256), and only works currently because we effectively treat references-to-extern-type almost like raw pointers in Stacked Borrows -- which of course is unsound, it's not how LLVM works. I was planning to make Miri emit a warning when this happens to avoid cases like [this](rust-lang#126814 (comment)) where people use extern type specifically to silence Miri without realizing what happens. but with the formatting machinery using extern type, this warning would just show up everywhere... > > The "proper" way to do this in Stacked Borrows is to use raw pointers (or `NonNull`). This PR does just that. r? ```@RalfJung```
