Add missing try_new_uninit_slice_in and try_new_zeroed_slice_in

The methods for fallible slice allocation in a given allocator were missing from `Box`, which was an oversight according to rust-lang/wg-allocators#130

This PR adds them as `try_new_uninit_slice_in` and `try_new_zeroed_slice_in`. I simply copy-pasted the implementations of `try_new_uninit_slice` and `try_new_zeroed_slice` and adusted doc comment, typings, and the allocator it uses internally.

Also adds missing punctuation to the doc comments of `try_new_uninit_slice` and `try_new_zeroed_slice`.

Related issue is rust-lang#32838 (Allocator traits and std::heap) *I think*. Also relevant is rust-lang#63291, but I did not add the corresponding `#[unstable]` proc macro, since `try_new_uninit_slice` and `try_new_zeroed_slice` are also not annotated with it.
