Documents reference equality by address (#54197)

Clarification of the use of `ptr::eq` to test equality of references via address by pointer coercion,  regarding issue #54197 .

The same example as in `ptr::eq` docs is shown here to clarify that
`PartialEq` compares values pointed-to instead of via address (which can be desired in some cases)
