1452: transmute: Fix behavior by always performing the raw copy r=CohenArthur a=CohenArthur

This desugars calls to transmute the following way:

`transmute::<T1, T2>(value)`

->

`*((T2 *) &value)`

This always ends up being optimized into a simple copy for small types
and a memcpy for larger types.
