Rollup merge of #83524 - faern:document-socketaddr-mem-layout, r=sfackler
Document that the SocketAddr memory representation is not stable Intended to help out with #78802. Work has been put into finding and fixing code that assumes the memory layout of `SocketAddrV4` and `SocketAddrV6`. But it turns out there are cases where new code continues to make the same assumption ([example](https://github.com/spacejam/seaslug/commit/96927dc2b7b918860a79c4eb6336051e52c6137a#diff-917db3d8ca6f862ebf42726b23c72a12b35e584e497ebdb24e474348d7c6ffb6R610-R621)). The memory layout of a type in `std` is never part of the public API. Unless explicitly stated I guess. But since that is invalidly relied upon by a considerable amount of code for these particular types, it might make sense to explicitly document this. This can be temporary. Once #78802 lands it does not make sense to rely on the layout any longer, and this documentation can also be removed.
