Fix typos in docs on provenance

This is related to [strict provenance](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95228).

Added a couple cross-refs, also replaced

> Create a pointer without provenance from just an address (see [`ptr::dangling`]).

with

> Create a pointer without provenance from just an address (see [`without_provenance`]).

as this method actually takes an address.
