Improve btree's unwrap_unchecked

[ssomers]

The seemingly optimized function unwrap_unchecked used in btree code appears to be slower than standard unwrap. Redirecting to unwrap as in this PR, we get some juicy improvements:

But this is also an opener for the obvious question: why?

• Changing the inline(always) to inline makes no difference.
• Removing the inline altogether has a terribly negative impact on many tests (up to factor 5) except a 40% improvement on clone tests.
• It doesn't happen in the laboratory. A standalone microbenchmark says that unwrap takes twice as long as unwrap_or_else(|| unreachable_unchecked())) for small and big option contents.
• There's one unwrap_unchecked call in a DropGuard that is averse to panic, but changing that alone doesn't change performance.

Putting on draft because it's weird and because it interferes with #73971.

Does someone from T-compiler want to review or help with this? Maybe r? @Mark-Simulacrum

[Mark-Simulacrum]

I am inclined to not try and change unwrap_unchecked since it seems likely that the improvements are optimizer noise (e.g., will be regressed/improved for various changes just because of slightly different inlining decisions and such), so I am going to close this, but if people feel differently feel free to reopen/let me know.

Ralf seemed to like the added doc comment, when I split this off of some other PR.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

I am happy to accept the doc comment (either in this PR, reopened and adjusted, or a new one). That would be a quick review too :)

[ssomers]

Can't reopen so another 5 digit issue number sacrificed.
