Rollup merge of #88340 - thomcc:c_size_t, r=joshtriplett

Browse Source 
Add `c_size_t` and `c_ssize_t` to `std::os::raw`.

Apparently these aren't guaranteed to be the same, and are merely "always the same in practice" (see https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-lang.2Fwg-unsafe-code-guidelines/topic/.60usize.60.20vs.20.60size_t.60).

This is a big footgun, but I suspect it can be alleviated if we expose this and start migrating people to it in advance of any platforms that ever have this as different.

I'll file a tracking issue after this gets some traction.
