Document overrides of `clone_from()` in core/std
As mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96979#discussion_r1379502413
Specifically, when an override doesn't just forward to an inner type, document the behavior and that it's preferred over simply assigning a clone of source. Also, change instances where the second parameter is "other" to "source".
I reused some of the wording over and over for similar impls, but I'm not sure that the wording is actually *good*. Would appreciate feedback about that.
Also, now some of these seem to provide pretty specific guarantees about behavior (e.g. will reuse the exact same allocation iff the len is the same), but I was basing it off of the docs for [`Box::clone_from`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.75.0/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.clone_from-1) - I'm not sure if providing those strong guarantees is actually good or not.

Have `String` use `SliceIndex` impls from `str`
This PR simplifies the implementation of `Index` and `IndexMut` on `String`, and in the process enables indexing `String` by any user types that implement `SliceIndex<str>`.
Similar to #47832

Not sure if this warrants a crater run.
Help with common API confusion, like asking for `push` when the data structure really has `append`.

#59450
Add explicit-endian String::from_utf16 variants
This adds the following APIs under `feature(str_from_utf16_endian)`:
```rust
impl String {
pub fn from_utf16le(v: &[u8]) -> Result<String, FromUtf16Error>;
pub fn from_utf16le_lossy(v: &[u8]) -> String;
pub fn from_utf16be(v: &[u8]) -> Result<String, FromUtf16Error>;
pub fn from_utf16be_lossy(v: &[u8]) -> String;
}
```
These are versions of `String::from_utf16` that explicitly take [UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE](https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#gen7). Notably, we can do better than just the obvious `decode_utf16(v.array_chunks::<2>().copied().map(u16::from_le_bytes)).collect()` in that:
- We handle the case where the byte slice is not an even number of bytes, and
- In the case that the UTF-16 is native endian and the slice is aligned, we can forward to `String::from_utf16`.
If the Unicode Consortium actively defines how to handle character replacement when decoding a UTF-16 bytestream with a trailing odd byte, I was unable to find reference. However, the behavior implemented here is fairly self-evidently correct: replace the single errant byte with the replacement character.
The status quo is highly confusing, since the overlap is not apparent,
and specialization is not a feature of Rust. This addresses #87545;
I'm not certain if it closes it, since that issue might also be trackign
a *general* solution for hiding specializing impls automatically.
Stabilize String::leak
Stabilizes the following API:
```Rust
impl String {
pub fn leak(self) -> &'static mut str;
}
```
closes#102929
blocked by having an FCP for stabilization.
Specialize ToString implementation for fmt::Arguments
Generates far fewer instructions by formatting into a String with `fmt::format` directly instead of going through the `fmt::Display` impl. This change is insta-stable.
enable `rust_2018_idioms` lint group for doctests
With this change, `rust_2018_idioms` lint group will be enabled for compiler/libstd doctests.

Use associated items of `char` instead of freestanding items in `core::char`
The associated functions and constants on `char` have been stable since 1.52 and the freestanding items have soft-deprecated since 1.62 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95566). This PR ~~marks them as "deprecated in future", similar to the integer and floating point modules (`core::{i32, f32}` etc)~~ replaces all uses of `core::char::*` with `char::*` to prepare for future deprecation of `core::char::*`.
