Tidy up bigint multiplication methods
This tidies up the library version of the bigint multiplication methods after the addition of the intrinsics in #133663. It follows [this summary](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85532#issuecomment-2403442775) of what's desired for these methods.
Note that, if `2H = N`, then `uH::MAX * uH::MAX + uH::MAX + uH::MAX` is `uN::MAX`, and that we can effectively add two "carry" values without overflowing.
For ease of terminology, the "low-order" or "least significant" or "wrapping" half of multiplication will be called the low part, and the "high-order" or "most significant" or "overflowing" half of multiplication will be called the high part. In all cases, the return convention is `(low, high)` and left unchanged by this PR, to be litigated later.
## API Changes
The original API:
```rust
impl uN {
// computes self * rhs
pub const fn widening_mul(self, rhs: uN) -> (uN, uN);
// computes self * rhs + carry
pub const fn carrying_mul(self, rhs: uN, carry: uN) -> (uN, uN);
}
```
The added API:
```rust
impl uN {
// computes self * rhs + carry1 + carry2
pub const fn carrying2_mul(self, rhs: uN, carry: uN, add: uN) -> (uN, uN);
}
impl iN {
// note that the low part is unsigned
pub const fn widening_mul(self, rhs: iN) -> (uN, iN);
pub const fn carrying_mul(self, rhs: iN, carry: iN) -> (uN, iN);
pub const fn carrying_mul_add(self, rhs: iN, carry: iN, add: iN) -> (uN, iN);
}
```
Additionally, a naive implementation has been added for `u128` and `i128` since there are no double-wide types for those. Eventually, an intrinsic will be added to make these more efficient, but rather than doing this all at once, the library changes are added first.
## Justifications for API
The unsigned parts are done to ensure consistency with overflowing addition: for a two's complement integer, you want to have unsigned overflow semantics for all parts of the integer except the highest one. This is because overflow for unsigned integers happens on the highest bit (from `MAX` to zero), whereas overflow for signed integers happens on the second highest bit (from `MAX` to `MIN`). Since the sign information only matters in the highest part, we use unsigned overflow for everything but that part.
There is still discussion on the merits of signed bigint *addition* methods, since getting the behaviour right is very subtle, but at least for signed bigint *multiplication*, the sign of the operands does make a difference. So, it feels appropriate that at least until we've nailed down the final API, there should be an option to do signed versions of these methods.
Additionally, while it's unclear whether we need all three versions of bigint multiplication (widening, carrying-1, and carrying-2), since it's possible to have up to two carries without overflow, there should at least be a method to allow that. We could potentially only offer the carry-2 method and expect that adding zero carries afterword will optimise correctly, but again, this can be litigated before stabilisation.
## Note on documentation
While a lot of care was put into the documentation for the `widening_mul` and `carrying_mul` methods on unsigned integers, I have not taken this same care for `carrying_mul_add` or the signed versions. While I have updated the doc tests to be more appropriate, there will likely be many documentation changes done before stabilisation.
## Note on tests
Alongside this change, I've added several tests to ensure that these methods work as expected. These are alongside the codegen tests for the intrinsics.
stabilize const_swap
libs-api FCP passed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83163.
However, I only just realized that this actually involves an intrinsic. The intrinsic could be implemented entirely with existing stable const functionality, but we choose to make it a primitive to be able to detect more UB. So nominating for `@rust-lang/lang` to make sure they are aware; I leave it up to them whether they want to FCP this.
While at it I also renamed the intrinsic to make the "nonoverlapping" constraint more clear.

Implementation of `fmt::FormattingOptions`
Tracking issue: #118117
Public API:
```rust
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct FormattingOptions { … }
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum Sign {
Plus,
Minus
}
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum DebugAsHex {
Lower,
Upper
}
impl FormattingOptions {
pub fn new() -> Self;
pub fn sign(&mut self, sign: Option<Sign>) -> &mut Self;
pub fn sign_aware_zero_pad(&mut self, sign_aware_zero_pad: bool) -> &mut Self;
pub fn alternate(&mut self, alternate: bool) -> &mut Self;
pub fn fill(&mut self, fill: char) -> &mut Self;
pub fn align(&mut self, alignment: Option<Alignment>) -> &mut Self;
pub fn width(&mut self, width: Option<usize>) -> &mut Self;
pub fn precision(&mut self, precision: Option<usize>) -> &mut Self;
pub fn debug_as_hex(&mut self, debug_as_hex: Option<DebugAsHex>) -> &mut Self;
pub fn get_sign(&self) -> Option<Sign>;
pub fn get_sign_aware_zero_pad(&self) -> bool;
pub fn get_alternate(&self) -> bool;
pub fn get_fill(&self) -> char;
pub fn get_align(&self) -> Option<Alignment>;
pub fn get_width(&self) -> Option<usize>;
pub fn get_precision(&self) -> Option<usize>;
pub fn get_debug_as_hex(&self) -> Option<DebugAsHex>;
pub fn create_formatter<'a>(self, write: &'a mut (dyn Write + 'a)) -> Formatter<'a>;
}
impl<'a> Formatter<'a> {
pub fn new(write: &'a mut (dyn Write + 'a), options: FormattingOptions) -> Self;
pub fn with_options<'b>(&'b mut self, options: FormattingOptions) -> Formatter<'b>;
pub fn sign(&self) -> Option<Sign>;
pub fn options(&self) -> FormattingOptions;
}
```
Relevant changes from the public API in the tracking issue (I'm leaving out some stuff I consider obvious mistakes, like missing `#[derive(..)]`s and `pub` specifiers):
- `enum DebugAsHex`/`FormattingOptions::debug_as_hex`/`FormattingOptions::get_debug_as_hex`: To support `{:x?}` as well as `{:X?}`. I had completely missed these options in the ACP. I'm open for any and all bikeshedding, not married to the name.
- `fill`/`get_fill` now takes/returns `char` instead of `Option<char>`. This simply mirrors what `Formatter::fill` returns (with default being `' '`).
- Changed `zero_pad`/`get_zero_pad` to `sign_aware_zero_pad`/`get_sign_aware_zero_pad`. This also mirrors `Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`. While I'm not a fan of this quite verbose name, I do believe that having the interface of `Formatter` and `FormattingOptions` be compatible is more important.
- For the same reason, renamed `alignment`/`get_alignment` to `aling`/`get_align`.
- Deviating from my initial idea, `Formatter::with_options` returns a `Formatter` which has the lifetime of the `self` reference as its generic lifetime parameter (in the original API spec, the generic lifetime of the returned `Formatter` was the generic lifetime used by `self` instead). Otherwise, one could construct two `Formatter`s that both mutably borrow the same underlying buffer, which would be unsound. This solution still has performance benefits over simply using `Formatter::new`, so I believe it is worthwhile to keep this method.
Stabilize unsigned and float variants of `num_midpoint` feature
This PR proposes that we stabilize the unsigned variants of the [`num_midpoint`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/110840#issue-1684506201) feature as well as the floats variants, since they are not subject to any unresolved questions, which is equivalent to doing `(a + b) / 2` (and `(a + b) >> 1`) in a sufficiently large number.
The stabilized API surface would be:
```rust
/// Calculates the middle point of `self` and `rhs`.
///
/// `midpoint(a, b)` is `(a + b) / 2` as if it were performed in a sufficiently-large unsigned integral type.
/// This implies that the result is always rounded towards negative infinity and that no overflow will ever occur.
impl u{8,16,32,64,128,size} {
pub const fn midpoint(self, rhs: Self) -> Self;
}
impl NonZeroU{8,16,32,64,size} {
pub const fn midpoint(self, rhs: Self) -> Self;
}
impl f{32,64} {
pub const fn midpoint(self, rhs: Self) -> Self;
}
```
The signed variants `u{8,16,32,64,128,size}` would remain gated, until a decision is made about the rounding mode, in other words that the [unresolved questions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/110840#issue-1684506201) are resolved.

remove const-support for align_offset and is_aligned
As part of the recent discussion to stabilize `ptr.is_null()` in const context, the general vibe was that it's okay for a const function to panic when the same operation would work at runtime (that's just a case of "dynamically detecting that something is not supported as a const operation"), but it is *not* okay for a const function to just return a different result.
Following that, `is_aligned` and `is_aligned_to` have their const status revoked in this PR, since they do return actively wrong results at const time. In the future we can consider having a new intrinsic or so that can check whether a pointer is "guaranteed to be aligned", but the current implementation based on `align_offset` does not have the behavior we want.
In fact `align_offset` itself behaves quite strangely in const, and that support needs a bunch of special hacks. That doesn't seem worth it. Instead, the users that can fall back to a different implementation should just use const_eval_select directly, and everything else should not be made const-callable. So this PR does exactly that, and entirely removes const support for align_offset.
Closes some tracking issues by removing the associated features:
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90962
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/104203
Cc `@rust-lang/wg-const-eval` `@rust-lang/libs-api`
Operations like is_aligned would return actively wrong results at compile-time,
i.e. calling it on the same pointer at compiletime and runtime could yield
different results. That's no good.
Instead of having hacks to make align_offset kind-of work in const-eval, just
use const_eval_select in the few places where it makes sense, which also ensures
those places are all aware they need to make sure the fallback behavior is
consistent.
better test for const HashMap; remove const_hash leftovers
The existing `const_with_hasher` test is kind of silly since the HashMap it constructs can never contain any elements. So this adjusts the test to construct a usable HashMap, which is a bit non-trivial since the default hash builder cannot be built in `const`. `BuildHasherDefault::new()` helps but is unstable (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/123197), so we also have a test that does not involve that type.
The second commit removes the last remnants of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/104061, since they aren't actually useful -- without const traits, you can't do any hashing in `const`.

Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
Run most `core::num` tests in const context too
This adds some infrastructure for something I was going to use in #131566, but it felt worthwhile enough on its own to merge/discuss separately.
Essentially, right now we tend to rely on UI tests to ensure that things work in const context, rather than just using library tests. This uses a few simple macro tricks to make it *relatively* painless to execute tests in both runtime and compile-time context. And this only applies to the numeric tests, and not anything else.
Recommended to review without whitespace in the diff.

merge const_ipv4 / const_ipv6 feature gate into 'ip' feature gate
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76205 has been closed a while ago, but there are still some functions that reference it. Those functions are all unstable *and* const-unstable. There's no good reason to use a separate feature gate for their const-stability, so this PR moves their const-stability under the same gate as their regular stability, and therefore removes the remaining references to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76205.
core/net: add Ipv[46]Addr::from_octets, Ipv6Addr::from_segments.
Adds:
- `Ipv4Address::from_octets([u8;4])`
- `Ipv6Address::from_octets([u8;16])`
- `Ipv6Address::from_segments([u16;8])`
equivalent to the existing `From` impls.
Advantages:
- Consistent with `to_bits, from_bits`.
- More discoverable than the `From` impls.
- Helps with type inference: it's common to want to convert byte slices to IP addrs. If you try this
```rust
fn foo(x: &[u8]) -> Ipv4Addr {
Ipv4Addr::from(foo.try_into().unwrap())
}
```
it [doesn't work](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=0e2873312de275a58fa6e33d1b213bec). You have to write `Ipv4Addr::from(<[u8;4]>::try_from(x).unwrap())` instead, which is not great. With `from_octets` it is able to infer the right types.
Found this while porting [smoltcp](https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp/) from its own IP address types to the `core::net` types.

Stabilize const `ptr::write*` and `mem::replace`
Since `const_mut_refs` and `const_refs_to_cell` have been stabilized, we may now also stabilize the ability to write to places during const evaluation inside our library API. So, we now propose the `const fn` version of `ptr::write` and its variants. This allows us to also stabilize `mem::replace` and `ptr::replace`.
- const `mem::replace`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83164#issuecomment-2338660862
- const `ptr::write{,_bytes,_unaligned}`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86302#issuecomment-2330275266
Their implementation requires an additional internal stabilization of `const_intrinsic_forget`, which is required for `*::write*` and thus `*::replace`. Thus we const-stabilize the internal intrinsics `forget`, `write_bytes`, and `write_via_move`.
