Glad to see this becoming stable!

Backport? (The "stabilization decision" is from Apr 13, it's just this PR is late.)

I am not generally a fan of backporting anything that's not crucial.

I'm waiting on this until #42083 lands.

Make assignments to `Copy` union fields safe

This is an accompanying PR to PR rust-lang#42068 stabilizing FFI unions.

This was first proposed in rust-lang#32836 (comment), see subsequent comments as well.
Assignments to `Copy` union fields do not read any data from the union and are [equivalent](rust-lang#32836 (comment)) to whole union assignments, which are safe, so they should be safe as well. This removes a significant number of "false positive" unsafe blocks, in code dealing with FFI unions in particular.

It desirable to make this change now, together with stabilization of FFI unions, because now it affecfts only unstable code, but later it will cause warnings/errors caused by `unused_unsafe` lint in stable code.

@brson I don't strongly object, but I'm surprised you would backport. I feel like we try to keep backports to regressions or important bug fixes, and only rarely backport stabilizations -- the exception would be if some feature is hotly demanded. But otoh this seems pretty darn low risk, so no real objection.

I closed the backport. It was feeling non-trivial and there wasn't a great deal of agreement about it.
