Auto merge of #54580 - sdroege:rchunks, r=SimonSapin

Add slice::rchunks(), rchunks_mut(), rchunks_exact() and rchunks_exact_mut()

These work exactly like the normal chunks iterators but start creating
chunks from the end of the slice.

----

The new iterators were motivated by a [comment](#47115 (comment)) by @DutchGhost.

~~~This currently includes the commits from #54537 to not have to rename things twice or have merge conflicts. I'll force-push a new version of the branch ones those are in master.~~~

Also the stabilization tracking issue is just some number right now. I'll create the corresponding issue once this is reviewed and otherwise mergeable.
