Rollup merge of #130629 - Dirbaio:net-from-octets, r=tgross35
core/net: add Ipv[46]Addr::from_octets, Ipv6Addr::from_segments. Adds: - `Ipv4Address::from_octets([u8;4])` - `Ipv6Address::from_octets([u8;16])` - `Ipv6Address::from_segments([u16;8])` equivalent to the existing `From` impls. Advantages: - Consistent with `to_bits, from_bits`. - More discoverable than the `From` impls. - Helps with type inference: it's common to want to convert byte slices to IP addrs. If you try this ```rust fn foo(x: &[u8]) -> Ipv4Addr { Ipv4Addr::from(foo.try_into().unwrap()) } ``` it [doesn't work](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=0e2873312de275a58fa6e33d1b213bec). You have to write `Ipv4Addr::from(<[u8;4]>::try_from(x).unwrap())` instead, which is not great. With `from_octets` it is able to infer the right types. Found this while porting [smoltcp](https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp/) from its own IP address types to the `core::net` types. ~~Tracking issues #27709 #76205~~ Tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#131360
