more precise aliasing checks for SubArray (#54624)

This avoids returning false positives where only the indices are shared.
As the indices are not mutated by array assignments (and are explicitly
warned against mutation in general), we can ignore the case where _only_
the indices are aliasing.

Fix #54621

(cherry picked from commit 97bf148)
