Confusing wording in docs for slice::as_ptr/as_mut_ptr #37334

Description

@crumblingstatue

Modifying the slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

I believe this is trying to refer to manipulating the data structure (e.g. Vec) that owns the memory the slice is borrowing, but modifying the slice data through a slice can never cause reallocation.
