Make the following methods of `std::net::IpAddr` unstable const under the `const_ip` feature:
- `is_unspecified`
- `is_loopback`
- `is_global`
- `is_multicast`
Also adds a test for these methods in a const context.
Possible because these methods delegate to the inner `Ipv4Addr` or `Ipv6Addr`, which were made const, and the recent stabilization of const control flow.

Add non-`unsafe` `.get_mut()` for `Unsafecell`
- Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76943
As discussed in: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-non-unsafe-get-mut-for-unsafecell/12407
- ### [Rendered documentation](https://modest-dubinsky-1f9f47.netlify.app/core/cell/struct.unsafecell)
This PR tries to move the sound `&mut UnsafeCell<T> -> &mut T` projection that all the "downstream" constructions were already relying on, up to the root abstraction, where it rightfully belongs, and officially blessing it.
- this **helps reduce the amount of `unsafe` snippets out there** (_c.f._, the second commit of this PR: 09503fd1b3)
The fact that this getter is now expose for `UnsafeCell<T>` itself, will also help convey the idea that **`UnsafeCell` is not magical _w.r.t._ `&mut` accesses**, contrary to what some people incorrectly think.
- Even the standard library itself at some point had such a confusion, _c.f._ this comment where there is a mention of multi-threaded (and thus _shared_) access despite dealing with exclusive references over unique ownership: 59fb88d061/library/core/src/cell.rs (L498-L499)

Remove unused feature gates from library/ crates
Removes some unused feature gates from library crates. It's likely not a complete list as I only tested a subset for which it's more likely that it is unused.
Small cleanups in Windows Mutex.
- Move `held` into the boxed part, since the SRW lock implementation does not use this. This makes the Mutex 50% smaller.
- Use `Cell` instead of `UnsafeCell` for `held`, such that `.replace()` can be used.
- Add some comments.
- Avoid creating multiple `&mut`s to the critical section object in `ReentrantMutex`.
Stabilize core::future::{pending,ready}
This PR stabilizes `core::future::{pending,ready}`, tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70921.
## Motivation
These functions have been on nightly for three months now, and have lived as part of the futures ecosystem for several years. In that time these functions have undergone several iterations, with [the `async-std` impls](https://docs.rs/async-std/1.6.2/async_std/future/index.html) probably diverging the most (using `async fn`, which in hindsight was a mistake).
It seems the space around these functions has been _thoroughly_ explored over the last couple of years, and the ecosystem has settled on the current shape of the functions. It seems highly unlikely we'd want to make any further changes to these functions, so I propose we stabilize.
## Implementation notes
This stabilization PR was fairly straightforward; this feature has already thoroughly been reviewed by the libs team already in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70834. So all this PR does is remove the feature gate.
Make all methods of `std::net::Ipv4Addr` const
Make the following methods of `std::net::Ipv4Addr` unstable const under the `const_ipv4` feature:
- `octets`
- `is_loopback`
- `is_private`
- `is_link_local`
- `is_global` (unstable)
- `is_shared` (unstable)
- `is_ietf_protocol_assignment` (unstable)
- `is_benchmarking` (unstable)
- `is_reserved` (unstable)
- `is_multicast`
- `is_broadcast`
- `is_documentation`
- `to_ipv6_compatible`
- `to_ipv6_mapped`
This would make all methods of `Ipv6Addr` const.
Of these methods, `is_global`, `is_broadcast`, `to_ipv6_compatible`, and `to_ipv6_mapped` require a change in implementation.
Part of #76205
Make the following methods of `std::net::Ipv6Addr` unstable const under the `const_ipv6` feature:
- `segments`
- `is_unspecified`
- `is_loopback`

- `is_unicast_link_local_strict`
- `is_documentation`
- `multicast_scope`

Changed the implementation of `is_unspecified` and `is_loopback` to use a `match` instead of `==`.
Part of #76205
This commit is a proof-of-concept for switching the standard library's
backtrace symbolication mechanism on most platforms from libbacktrace to
gimli. The standard library's support for `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` requires
in-process parsing of object files and DWARF debug information to
interpret it and print the filename/line number of stack frames as part
of a backtrace.
Historically this support in the standard library has come from a
library called "libbacktrace". The libbacktrace library seems to have
been extracted from gcc at some point and is written in C. We've had a
lot of issues with libbacktrace over time, unfortunately, though. The
library does not appear to be actively maintained since we've had
patches sit for months-to-years without comments. We have discovered a
good number of soundness issues with the library itself, both when
parsing valid DWARF as well as invalid DWARF. This is enough of an issue
that the libs team has previously decided that we cannot feed untrusted
inputs to libbacktrace. This also doesn't take into account the
portability of libbacktrace which has been difficult to manage and
maintain over time. While possible there are lots of exceptions and it's
the main C dependency of the standard library right now.
For years it's been the desire to switch over to a Rust-based solution
for symbolicating backtraces. It's been assumed that we'll be using the
Gimli family of crates for this purpose, which are targeted at safely
and efficiently parsing DWARF debug information. I've been working
recently to shore up the Gimli support in the `backtrace` crate. As of a
few weeks ago the `backtrace` crate, by default, uses Gimli when loaded
from crates.io. This transition has gone well enough that I figured it
was time to start talking seriously about this change to the standard
library.
This commit is a preview of what's probably the best way to integrate
the `backtrace` crate into the standard library with the Gimli feature
turned on. While today it's used as a crates.io dependency, this commit
switches the `backtrace` crate to a submodule of this repository which
will need to be updated manually. This is not done lightly, but is
thought to be the best solution. The primary reason for this is that the
`backtrace` crate needs to do some pretty nontrivial filesystem
interactions to locate debug information. Working without `std::fs` is
not an option, and while it might be possible to do some sort of
trait-based solution when prototyped it was found to be too unergonomic.
Using a submodule allows the `backtrace` crate to build as a submodule
of the `std` crate itself, enabling it to use `std::fs` and such.
Otherwise this adds new dependencies to the standard library. This step
requires extra attention because this means that these crates are now
going to be included with all Rust programs by default. It's important
to note, however, that we're already shipping libbacktrace with all Rust
programs by default and it has a bunch of C code implementing all of
this internally anyway, so we're basically already switching
already-shipping functionality to Rust from C.
* `object` - this crate is used to parse object file headers and
contents. Very low-level support is used from this crate and almost
all of it is disabled. Largely we're just using struct definitions as
well as convenience methods internally to read bytes and such.
* `addr2line` - this is the main meat of the implementation for
symbolication. This crate depends on `gimli` for DWARF parsing and
then provides interfaces needed by the `backtrace` crate to turn an
address into a filename / line number. This crate is actually pretty
small (fits in a single file almost!) and mirrors most of what
`dwarf.c` does for libbacktrace.
* `miniz_oxide` - the libbacktrace crate transparently handles
compressed debug information which is compressed with zlib. This crate
is used to decompress compressed debug sections.
* `gimli` - not actually used directly, but a dependency of `addr2line`.
* `adler32`- not used directly either, but a dependency of
`miniz_oxide`.
The goal of this change is to improve the safety of backtrace
symbolication in the standard library, especially in the face of
possibly malformed DWARF debug information. Even to this day we're still
seeing segfaults in libbacktrace which could possibly become security
vulnerabilities. This change should almost entirely eliminate this
possibility whilc also paving the way forward to adding more features
like split debug information.

* Libbacktrace doesn't work on MinGW with dynamic libs - #71060
* Segfault in libbacktrace on macOS - #71397
Switching to Rust will not make us immune to all of these issues. The
crashes are expected to go away, but correctness and performance may
still have bugs arise. The gimli and `backtrace` crates, however, are
actively maintained unlike libbacktrace, so this should enable us to at
least efficiently apply fixes as situations come up.
