Rollup merge of rust-lang#84216 - RalfJung:black-box, r=Mark-Simulacrum

move core::hint::black_box under its own feature gate

The `black_box` function had its own RFC and is tracked separately from the `test` feature at rust-lang#64102. Let's reflect this in the feature gate.

To avoid breaking all the benchmarks, libtest's `test::black_box` is a wrapping definition, not a reexport -- this means it is still under the `test` feature gate.
