Handle overlapping buffers in struct.pack_into. struct.pack_into() can use the same bytearray as both the destination and an s or p value. The copy then passes overlapping regions to memcpy, which is undefined in C and can produce platform-dependent results or a sanitizer abort. memmove makes the overlapping copy defined.

Backport to 3.15 and 3.14.

Sorry, @jelle-openai and @JelleZijlstra, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.14 due to a conflict.

Please backport manually with cherry_picker, see the devguide for more information.
