Fixes #141933

I cut out the excessive explanation and used an example to explain how to maintain invariance, but I think what is quoted in the rust reference in the document needs to be added with a more layman's explanation and example.

(I'm not sure if I deleted too much)

Streamlined the explanation of covariance for `NonNull<T>`,
focusing on practical usage and reducing scary explanation.
Added a concise example for cases where invariance is required,
showing how to use `PhantomData<Cell<T>>

I've avoided big changes this time, removing some of the “scary” descriptions and replacing them with more practical advice, and adding more specific explanations for the examples.

Hm. I know I filed the issues but I wasn't really expecting to get two PRs immediately and requested on them, I kinda expected them to hit the rotation, and this is a slightly more tricky PR to judge when biased by being the reporter. So I'm going to pass them onto the rotation, sorry! ^^;
