Add links in docs for some primitive types
This pull request adds additional links in existing documentation of some of the primitive types.
Where items are linked only once, I have used the `[link](destination)` format. For items in `std`, I have linked directly to the HTML, since although the primitives are in `core`, they are not displayed on `core` documentation. I was unsure of what length I should keep lines of documentation to, so I tried to keep them within reason.
Additionally, I have avoided excessively linking to keywords like `self` when they are not relevant to the documentation. I can add these links if it would be an improvement.
I hope this can improve Rust. Please let me know if there's anything I did wrong!
remove redundant / misplaced sentence from docs
Removes sentence that seems to have drifted down into the examples section. Luckily, someone already added an explanation of what happens with packed structs back into the initial section of the doc entry and this wayward sentence can likely just be deleted.
Add an example for deriving PartialOrd on enums
For some reason, I always forget which variants are smaller and which
are larger when you derive PartialOrd on an enum. And the wording in the
current docs is not entirely clear to me.
So, I often end up making a small enum, deriving PartialOrd on it, and
then writing a `#[test]` with an assert that the top one is smaller than
the bottom one (or the other way around) to figure out which way the
deriving goes.
So then I figured, it would be great if the standard library docs just
had that example, so if I keep forgetting, at least I can figure it out
quickly by looking at std's docs.
`fmt::Formatter::pad`: don't call chars().count() more than one time
First commit merges two branches of match to call chars().count() only once: that should be faster if this method hits place of 3rd (previous) branch, plus quarter shorter.
Second commit fixes some clippy lints while i'm here (should it be separate PR?).
Stabilize std::os::unix::fs::chroot
I've verified that this works as documented, and I've tested it in (a nightly
build of) production software as a replacement for an unsafe call to
`libc::chroot`. It's been available in nightly for a few releases. I think it's
ready to stabilize.

Allow writing of incomplete UTF-8 sequences to the Windows console via stdout/stderr
# Problem
Writes of just an incomplete UTF-8 byte sequence (e.g. `b"\xC3"` or `b"\xF0\x9F"`) to stdout/stderr with a Windows console attached error with `io::ErrorKind::InvalidData, "Windows stdio in console mode does not support writing non-UTF-8 byte sequences"` even though further writes could complete the codepoint. This is currently a rare occurence since the [linewritershim](2c56ea38b0/library/std/src/io/buffered/linewritershim.rs) implementation flushes complete lines immediately and buffers up to 1024 bytes for incomplete lines. It can still happen as described in #83258.
The problem will become more pronounced once the developer can switch stdout/stderr from line-buffered to block-buffered or immediate when the changes in the "Switchable buffering for Stdout" pull request (#78515) get merged.
# Patch description
If there is at least one valid UTF-8 codepoint all valid UTF-8 is passed through to the extracted `write_valid_utf8_to_console()` fn. The new code only comes into play if `write()` is being passed a short byte slice comprising an incomplete UTF-8 codepoint. In this case up to three bytes are buffered in the `IncompleteUtf8` struct associated with `Stdout` / `Stderr`. The bytes are accepted one at a time. As soon as an error can be detected `io::ErrorKind::InvalidData, "Windows stdio in console mode does not support writing non-UTF-8 byte sequences"` is returned. Once a complete UTF-8 codepoint is received it is passed to the `write_valid_utf8_to_console()` and the buffer length is set to zero.
Calling `flush()` will neither error nor write anything if an incomplete codepoint is present in the buffer.
# Tests
Currently there are no Windows-specific tests for console writing code at all. Writing (regression) tests for this problem is a bit challenging since unit tests and UI tests don't run in a console and suddenly popping up another console window might be surprising to developers running the testsuite and it might not work at all in CI builds. To just test the new functionality in unit tests the code would need to be refactored. Some guidance on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Stabilize `UnsafeCell::raw_get()`
This PR stabilizes the associated function `UnsafeCell::raw_get()`. The FCP has [already completed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66358#issuecomment-899095068). While there was some discussion about the naming after the close of the FCP, it looks like people have agreed on this name. Still, it would probably be best if a `libs-api` member had a look at this and stated whether more discussion is needed.
While I was at it, I added some tests for `UnsafeCell`, because there were barely any.
Closes#66358.
Use the return value of readdir_r() instead of errno
POSIX says:
> If successful, the readdir_r() function shall return zero; otherwise,
> an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
But we were previously using errno instead of the return value. This
led to issue #86649.
BTree: remove Ord bound from new
`K: Ord` bound is unnecessary on `BTree{Map,Set}::new` and their `Default` impl. No elements exist so there are nothing to compare anyway, so I don't think "future proof" would be a blocker here. This is analogous to `HashMap::new` not having a `K: Eq + Hash` bound.
#79245 originally does this and for some reason drops the change to `new` and `Default`. I can see why changes to other methods like `entry` or `symmetric_difference` need to be careful but I couldn't find out any reason not to do it on `new`.
Removing the bound also makes the stabilisation of `const fn new` not depending on const trait bounds.

Add carrying_add, borrowing_sub, widening_mul, carrying_mul methods to integers
This comes in part from my own attempts to make (crude) big integer implementations, and also due to the stalled discussion in [RFC 2417](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2417). My understanding is that changes like these are best offered directly as code and then an RFC can be opened if there needs to be more discussion before stabilisation. Since all of these methods are unstable from the start, I figured I might as well offer them now.
I tried looking into intrinsics, messed around with a few different implementations, and ultimately concluded that these are "good enough" implementations for now to at least put up some code and maybe start bikeshedding on a proper API for these.
For the `carrying_add` and `borrowing_sub`, I tried looking into potential architecture-specific code and realised that even using the LLVM intrinsics for `addcarry` and `subborrow` on x86 specifically, I was getting exactly the same assembly as the naive implementation using `overflowing_add` and `overflowing_sub`, although the LLVM IR did differ because of the architecture-specific code. Longer-term I think that they would be best suited to specific intrinsics as that would make optimisations easier (instructions like add-carry tend to use implicit flags, and thus can only be optimised if they're done one-after-another, and thus it would make the most sense to have compact intrinsics that can be merged together easily).
For `widening_mul` and `carrying_mul`, for now at least, I simply cast to the larger type and perform arithmetic that way, since we currently have no intrinsic that would work better for 128-bit integers. In the future, I also think that some form of intrinsic would work best to cover that case, but for now at least, I think that they're "good enough" for now.
The main reasoning for offering these directly to the standard library even though they're relatively niche optimisations is to help ensure that the code generated for them is optimal. Plus, these operations alone aren't enough to create big integer implementations, although they could help simplify the code required to do so and make it a bit more accessible for the average implementor.
That said, I 100% understand if any or all of these methods are not desired simply because of how niche they are. Up to you. 🤷🏻
Document `std::env::current_exe` possible rename behaviour
It might not be obvious that the "path of the current running executable" may (or may not) imply "at the time it was loaded".
This came up recently in chat so I thought it might be worth documenting.
