Stabilize by-value [T; N] iterator core::array::IntoIter

Tracking issue: rust-lang#65798

This is unblocked now that `min_const_generics` has been stabilized
in rust-lang#79135.

This PR does *not* include the corresponding `IntoIterator` impl,
which is rust-lang#65819.
Instead, an iterator can be constructed through the `new` method.

`new` would become unnecessary when `IntoIterator` is implemented
and might be deprecated then, although it will stay stable.
