Add more safety comments to `FromZeros::new_box_zeroed`
Adds safety comments to two of the undocumented unsafe blocks in FromZeros::new_box_zeroed.
I tried to base their structure off of existing comments and am happy to do modifications if you have feedback!
Is it alright to trust that the std crate's default allocator will return an allocation of the right size and alignment for the given layout? I was looking through documentation to support this, but the std::alloc module says that the default global allocator is unspecified in most cases.

Summary of Changes
Hello @AlexanderPortland, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the safety documentation within the FromZeros::new_box_zeroed function. By adding comprehensive SAFETY comments to previously undocumented unsafe blocks, it clarifies the rationale behind these operations and ensures that the code adheres to Rust's safety guidelines, making it easier to understand and maintain.
Highlights
-
Safety Comments Added: Introduced detailed
SAFETYcomments for two previously undocumentedunsafeblocks within theFromZeros::new_box_zeroedfunction. These comments explain the invariants and justifications for theunsafeoperations. -
Clarity for
alloc::alloc::alloc_zeroed: ASAFETYcomment was added for thealloc::alloc::alloc_zeroedcall, clarifying that the layout's size is guaranteed to be non-zero before allocation, fulfilling its safety requirements. -
Clarity for
Box::from_raw: ASAFETYcomment was added for theBox::from_rawcall, detailing that the allocation comes from thestdcrate's defaultGlobalallocator, is correctly aligned and non-null, and thatTimplementsFromZerosensuring a valid zeroed state. -
Removed
clippyAllow Attributes: The#[allow(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]attributes have been removed, as theunsafeblocks are now properly documented withSAFETYcomments, addressingFIXME(#429).
