Update Box::from_raw example to generalize better
I know very little about rust, so I saw this example and tried to generalize it by writing, ``` let layout = Layout::new::<T>(); let new_obj = unsafe { let ptr = alloc(layout) as *mut T; *ptr = obj; Box::from_raw(ptr) }; ``` for some more complicated `T`, which ended up crashing with SIGSEGV, because it tried to `drop_in_place` the previous object in `ptr` which is of course garbage. I also added a comment that explains why `.write` is used, but I think adding that comment is optional and may be too verbose here. I do however think that changing this example is a good idea to suggest the correct generalization. `.write` is also used in most of the rest of the documentation here, even if the example is `i32`, so it would additionally be more consistent.
