Removal of exact capacity guarantee for Vec::with_capacity() is a breaking change #99385

Summary

Latest stable guarantees that Vec::with_capacity() always allocates exact capacity (and this is indeed the case, since RawVec discards any extra allocated capacity). #96173 removes this guarantee. I believe this to be a breaking change requiring some further investigation.
