This is technically "not necessary", as we will "just" segfault instead
if we e.g. arrive inside the handler fn with the null altstack. However,
it seems incorrect to go about this hoping that segfaulting is okay,
seeing as how our purpose here is to mitigate stack overflow problems.
Make sure NEED_ALTSTACK syncs with PAGE_SIZE when we do.

fix least significant digits of f128 associated constants
While the numbers are parsed to the correct value, the decimal numbers in the source were rounded to zero instead of to the nearest, making the literals different from the values shown in the documentation.

offset_from: always allow pointers to point to the same address
This PR implements the last remaining part of the t-opsem consensus in https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/472: always permits offset_from when both pointers have the same address, no matter how they are computed. This is required to achieve *provenance monotonicity*.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117945
### What is provenance monotonicity and why does it matter?
Provenance monotonicity is the property that adding arbitrary provenance to any no-provenance pointer must never make the program UB. More specifically, in the program state, data in memory is stored as a sequence of [abstract bytes](https://rust-lang.github.io/unsafe-code-guidelines/glossary.html#abstract-byte), where each byte can optionally carry provenance. When a pointer is stored in memory, all of the bytes it is stored in carry that provenance. Provenance monotonicity means: if we take some byte that does not have provenance, and give it some arbitrary provenance, then that cannot change program behavior or introduce UB into a UB-free program.
We care about provenance monotonicity because we want to allow the optimizer to remove provenance-stripping operations. Removing a provenance-stripping operation effectively means the program after the optimization has provenance where the program before the optimization did not -- since the provenance removal does not happen in the optimized program. IOW, the compiler transformation added provenance to previously provenance-free bytes. This is exactly what provenance monotonicity lets us do.
We care about removing provenance-stripping operations because `*ptr = *ptr` is, in general, (likely) a provenance-stripping operation. Specifically, consider `ptr: *mut usize` (or any integer type), and imagine the data at `*ptr` is actually a pointer (i.e., we are type-punning between pointers and integers). Then `*ptr` on the right-hand side evaluates to the data in memory *without* any provenance (because [integers do not have provenance](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3559-rust-has-provenance.html#integers-do-not-have-provenance)). Storing that back to `*ptr` means that the abstract bytes `ptr` points to are the same as before, except their provenance is now gone. This makes `*ptr = *ptr` a provenance-stripping operation (Here we assume `*ptr` is fully initialized. If it is not initialized, evaluating `*ptr` to a value is UB, so removing `*ptr = *ptr` is trivially correct.)
### What does `offset_from` have to do with provenance monotonicity?
With `ptr = without_provenance(N)`, `ptr.offset_from(ptr)` is always well-defined and returns 0. By provenance monotonicity, I can now add provenance to the two arguments of `offset_from` and it must still be well-defined. Crucially, I can add *different* provenance to the two arguments, and it must still be well-defined. In other words, this must always be allowed: `ptr1.with_addr(N).offset_from(ptr2.with_addr(N))` (and it returns 0). But the current spec for `offset_from` says that the two pointers must either both be derived from an integer or both be derived from the same allocation, which is not in general true for arbitrary `ptr1`, `ptr2`.
To obtain provenance monotonicity, this PR hence changes the spec for offset_from to say that if both pointers have the same address, the function is always well-defined.
### What further consequences does this have?
It means the compiler can no longer transform `end2 = begin.offset(end.offset_from(begin))` into `end2 = end`. However, it can still be transformed into `end2 = begin.with_addr(end.addr())`, which later parts of the backend (when provenance has been erased) can trivially turn into `end2 = end`.
The only alternative I am aware of is a fundamentally different handling of zero-sized accesses, where a "no provenance" pointer is not allowed to do zero-sized accesses and instead we have a special provenance that indicates "may be used for zero-sized accesses (and nothing else)". `offset` and `offset_from` would then always be UB on a "no provenance" pointer, and permit zero-sized offsets on a "zero-sized provenance" pointer. This achieves provenance monotonicity. That is, however, a breaking change as it contradicts what we landed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117329. It's also a whole bunch of extra UB, which doesn't seem worth it just to achieve that transformation.
### What about the backend?
LLVM currently doesn't have an intrinsic for pointer difference, so we anyway cast to integer and subtract there. That's never UB so it is compatible with any relaxation we may want to apply.
If LLVM gets a `ptrsub` in the future, then plausibly it will be consistent with `ptradd` and [consider two equal pointers to be inbounds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124921#issuecomment-2205795829).
Make os/windows and pal/windows default to `#![deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)]`
This is to prevent regressions in modules that currently pass. I did also fix up a few trivial places where the module contained only one or two simple wrappers. In more complex cases we should try to ensure the `unsafe` blocks are appropriately scoped and have any appropriate safety comments.
This does not fix the windows bits of #127747 but it should help prevent regressions until that is done and also make it more obvious specifically which modules need attention.
std: `#![deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)]` in platform-independent code
This applies the `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` lint in all places in std that _do not have platform-specific cfg in their code_. For all such places, the lint remains allowed, because they need further work to address the relevant concerns. This list includes:
- `std::backtrace_rs` (internal-only)
- `std::sys` (internal-only)
- `std::os`
Notably this eliminates all "unwrapped" unsafe operations in `std::io` and `std::sync`, which will make them much more auditable in the future. Such has *also* been left for future work. While I made a few safety comments along the way on interfaces I have grown sufficiently familiar with, in most cases I had no context, nor particular confidence the unsafety was correct.
In the cases where I was able to determine the unsafety was correct without having prior context, it was obviously redundant. For example, an unsafe function calling another unsafe function that has the exact same contract, forwarding its caller's requirements just as it forwards its actual call.
Windows: Remove some unnecessary type aliases
Back in the olden days, C did not have fixed-width types so these type aliases were at least potentially useful. Nowadays, and especially in Rust, we don't need the aliases and they don't help with anything. Notably the windows bindings we use also don't bother with the aliases. And even when we have used aliases they're often only used once then forgotten about.
The only one that gives me pause is `DWORD` because it's used a fair bit. But it's still used inconsistently and we implicitly assume it's a `u32` anyway (e.g. `as` casting from an `i32`).
These constifications were blocked on classification functions being
added. Now that those methods are available, constify them.
This brings things more in line with `f32` and `f64`.
