Alexandre Courbot 88622323dd rust: enable slice_flatten feature and provide it through an extension trait
In Rust 1.80, the previously unstable `slice::flatten` family of methods
have been stabilized and renamed to `slice::as_flattened`.

This creates an issue as we want to use `as_flattened`, but need to
support the MSRV (which at the moment is Rust 1.78) where it is named
`flatten`.

Solve this by enabling the `slice_flatten` feature, and providing an
`as_flattened` implementation through an extension trait for compiler
versions where it is not available.

The trait is then exported from the prelude, making the `as_flattened`
family of methods transparently available for all supported compiler
versions.

This extension trait can be removed once the MSRV passes 1.80.
