`@m-ou-se` [realized][1] that because `Read` is implemented for `&mut impl
Read`, there's no need to take `&mut` in `io::read_to_string`.
Removing the `&mut` from the signature allows users to remove the `&mut`
from their calls (and thus pass an owned reader) if they don't use the
reader later.

Add `io::Error::other`
This PR adds a small utility constructor, `io::Error::other`, a shorthand for `io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, err)`, something I find myself writing often.
For some concrete stats, a quick search on [grep.app](https://grep.app) shows that more than half of the uses of `io::Error::new` use `ErrorKind::Other`:
```
Error::new\((?:std::)?(?:io::)?ErrorKind:: => 3,898 results
Error::new\((?:std::)?(?:io::)?ErrorKind::Other => 2,186 results
```
Implement most of RFC 2930, providing the ReadBuf abstraction
This replaces the `Initializer` abstraction for permitting reading into uninitialized buffers, closing #42788.
This leaves several APIs described in the RFC out of scope for the initial implementation:
* read_buf_vectored
* `ReadBufs`
Closes#42788, by removing the relevant APIs.
The unifying theme for this commit is weak, admittedly. I put together a
list of "expensive" functions when I originally proposed this whole
effort, but nobody's cared about that criterion. Still, it's a decent
way to bite off a not-too-big chunk of work.
Given the grab bag nature of this commit, the messages I used vary quite
a bit.
Add #[must_use] to from_value conversions
I added two methods to the list myself. Clippy did not flag them because they take `mut` args, but neither modifies their argument.
```rust
core::str const unsafe fn from_utf8_unchecked_mut(v: &mut [u8]) -> &mut str;
std::ffi::CString unsafe fn from_raw(ptr: *mut c_char) -> CString;
```
I put a custom note on `from_raw`:
```rust
#[must_use = "call `drop(from_raw(ptr))` if you intend to drop the `CString`"]
pub unsafe fn from_raw(ptr: *mut c_char) -> CString {
```

Optimize File::read_to_end and read_to_string
Reading a file into an empty vector or string buffer can incur unnecessary `read` syscalls and memory re-allocations as the buffer "warms up" and grows to its final size. This is perhaps a necessary evil with generic readers, but files can be read in smarter by checking the file size and reserving that much capacity.
`std::fs::read` and `std::fs::read_to_string` already perform this optimization: they open the file, reads its metadata, and call `with_capacity` with the file size. This ensures that the buffer does not need to be resized and an initial string of small `read` syscalls.
However, if a user opens the `File` themselves and calls `file.read_to_end` or `file.read_to_string` they do not get this optimization.
```rust
let mut buf = Vec::new();
file.read_to_end(&mut buf)?;
```
I searched through this project's codebase and even here are a *lot* of examples of this. They're found all over in unit tests, which isn't a big deal, but there are also several real instances in the compiler and in Cargo. I've documented the ones I found in a comment here:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89516#issuecomment-934423999
Most telling, the documentation for both the `Read` trait and the `Read::read_to_end` method both show this exact pattern as examples of how to use readers. What this says to me is that this shouldn't be solved by simply fixing the instances of it in this codebase. If it's here it's certain to be prevalent in the wider Rust ecosystem.
To that end, this commit adds specializations of `read_to_end` and `read_to_string` directly on `File`. This way it's no longer a minor footgun to start with an empty buffer when reading a file in.
A nice side effect of this change is that code that accesses a `File` as `impl Read` or `dyn Read` will benefit. For example, this code from `compiler/rustc_serialize/src/json.rs`:
```rust
pub fn from_reader(rdr: &mut dyn Read) -> Result<Json, BuilderError> {
let mut contents = Vec::new();
match rdr.read_to_end(&mut contents) {
```
Related changes:
- I also added specializations to `BufReader` to delegate to `self.inner`'s methods. That way it can call `File`'s optimized implementations if the inner reader is a file.
- The private `std::io::append_to_string` function is now marked `unsafe`.
- `File::read_to_string` being more efficient means that the performance note for `io::read_to_string` can be softened. I've added `@camelid's` suggested wording from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80218#issuecomment-936806502.
