Improve the example for Vec::splice #92067

Description

@ajtribick

The current example for Vec::splice illustrates the replacement of a section of length 2 with a new section of length 2. This isn't a particularly interesting case for splice, and makes it look a bit like a shorthand for the kind of manipulations that could be done with a mutable slice.

I think it would be more useful to illustrate this method with a case where the source and replacement are different lengths, e.g.

let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
let new = [7, 8, 9];
let u: Vec<_> = v.splice(1..3, new).collect();
assert_eq!(v, &[1, 7, 8, 9, 4]);
assert_eq!(u, &[2, 3]);

Thoughts?
