rust-lang#62357: doc(ptr): add example for {read,write}_unaligned

related to rust-lang#62357

> With rust-lang#62323 the only example (that had UB and was thus invalid) in std::ptr::read_unaligned and std::ptr::write_unaligned is removed.

> We should add a valid example of using the aforementioned functions.
