rust: Eschew Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write

T-libs-api has consensus for stabilizing some of `feature(new_uninit)`,
but not for `Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write`. Instead, we can use
`MaybeUninit<T>::write`, so Rust for Linux can drop the feature after
stabilization. That will happen after merging, as the FCP has completed:
rust-lang/rust#63291 (comment)

This is required before stabilization because remaining-unstable API
will be divided into new features. This code doesn't know about those
yet. It can't: they haven't landed, as the relevant PR is blocked on
rustc's CI testing Rust-for-Linux without this patch.
