Rename Receiver -> LegacyReceiver
As part of the "arbitrary self types v2" project, we are going to replace the current `Receiver` trait with a new mechanism based on a new, different `Receiver` trait.
This PR renames the old trait to get it out the way. Naming is hard. Options considered included:
* HardCodedReceiver (because it should only be used for things in the standard library, and hence is sort-of hard coded)
* LegacyReceiver
* TargetLessReceiver
* OldReceiver
These are all bad names, but fortunately this will be temporary. Assuming the new mechanism proceeds to stabilization as intended, the legacy trait will be removed altogether.
Although we expect this trait to be used only in the standard library, we suspect it may be in use elsehwere, so we're landing this change separately to identify any surprising breakages.
It's known that this trait is used within the Rust for Linux project; a patch is in progress to remove their dependency.

Since the stabilization in #127679 has reached stage0, 1.82-beta, we can
start using `&raw` freely, and even the soft-deprecated `ptr::addr_of!`
and `ptr::addr_of_mut!` can stop allowing the unstable feature.
I intentionally did not change any documentation or tests, but the rest
of those macro uses are all now using `&raw const` or `&raw mut` in the
standard library.
Add new_cyclic_in for Rc and Arc
Currently, new_cyclic_in does not exist for Rc and Arc. This is an oversight according to https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/132.
This PR adds new_cyclic_in for Rc and Arc. The implementation is almost the exact same as new_cyclic with some small differences to make it allocator-specific. new_cyclic's implementation has been replaced with a call to `new_cyclic_in(data_fn, Global)`.
Remaining questions:
* ~~Is requiring Allocator to be Clone OK? According to https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/88, Allocators should be cheap to clone. I'm just hesitant to add unnecessary constraints, though I don't see an obvious workaround for this function since many called functions in new_cyclic_in expect an owned Allocator. I see Allocator.by_ref() as an option, but that doesn't work on when creating Weak { ptr: init_ptr, alloc: alloc.clone() }, because the type of Weak then becomes Weak<T, &A> which is incompatible.~~ Fixed, thank you `@zakarumych!` This PR no longer requires the allocator to be Clone.
* Currently, new_cyclic_in's documentation is almost entirely copy-pasted from new_cyclic, with minor tweaks to make it more accurate (e.g. Rc<T> -> Rc<T, A>). The example section is removed to mitigate redundancy and instead redirects to cyclic_in. Is this appropriate?
* ~~The comments in new_cyclic_in (and much of the implementation) are also copy-pasted from new_cyclic. Would it be better to make a helper method new_cyclic_in_internal that both functions call, with either Global or the custom allocator? I'm not sure if that's even possible, since the internal method would have to return Arc<T, Global> and I don't know if it's possible to "downcast" that to an Arc<T>. Maybe transmute would work here?~~ Done, thanks `@zakarumych`
* Arc::new_cyclic is #[inline], but Rc::new_cyclic is not. Which is preferred?
* nit: does it matter where in the impl block new_cyclic_in is defined?
Add fmt::Debug to sync::Weak<T, A>
Currently, `sync::Weak<T>` implements `Debug`, but `sync::Weak<T, A>` does not. This appears to be an oversight, as `rc::Weak<T, A>` implements `Debug`. (Note: `sync::Weak` is the weak for `Arc`, and `rc::Weak` is the weak for `Rc`.)
This PR adds the Debug trait for `sync::Weak<T, A>`. The issue was initially brought up here: https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/131
A partial stabilization that only affects:
- AllocType<T>::new_uninit
- AllocType<T>::assume_init
- AllocType<[T]>::new_uninit_slice
- AllocType<[T]>::assume_init
where "AllocType" is Box, Rc, or Arc
- `new_zeroed` variants move to `new_zeroed_alloc`
- the `write` fn moves to `box_uninit_write`
The remainder will be stabilized in upcoming patches, as
it was decided to only stabilize `uninit*` and `assume_init`.
Remove memory leaks in doctests in `core`, `alloc`, and `std`
cc `@RalfJung` https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126067https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/3670
Should be no actual *documentation* changes[^1], all added/modified lines in the doctests are hidden with `#`,
This PR splits the existing memory leaks in doctests in `core`, `alloc`, and `std` into two general categories:
1. "Non-focused" memory leaks that are incidental to the thing being documented, and/or are easy to remove, i.e. they are only there because preventing the leak would make the doctest less clear and/or concise.
- These doctests simply have a comment like `# // Prevent leaks for Miri.` above the added line that removes the memory leak.
- [^2]Some of these would perhaps be better as part of the public documentation part of the doctest, to clarify that a memory leak can happen if it is not otherwise mentioned explicitly in the documentation (specifically the ones in `(A)Rc::increment_strong_count(_in)`).
2. "Focused" memory leaks that are intentional and documented, and/or are possibly fragile to remove.
- These doctests have a `# // FIXME` comment above the line that removes the memory leak, with a note that once `-Zmiri-disable-leak-check` can be applied at test granularity, these tests should be "un-unleakified" and have `-Zmiri-disable-leak-check` enabled.
- Some of these are possibly fragile (e.g. unleaking the result of `Vec::leak`) and thus should definitely not be made part of the documentation.
This should be all of the leaks currently in `core` and `alloc`. I only found one leak in `std`, and it was in the first category (excluding the modules `@RalfJung` mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126067 , and reducing the number of iterations of [one test](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/sync/once_lock.rs#L49-L94) from 1000 to 10)

Generalize `fn allocator` for Rc/Arc.
Split out from #119761
- For `Rc`/`Arc`, the existing associated `fn`s are changed to allow unsized pointees.
- For `Weak`s, new methods are added.
`````@rustbot````` label +A-allocators
This requires introducing a new internal type `RcUninit` (and
`ArcUninit`), which can own an `RcBox<T>` without requiring it to be
initialized, sized, or a slice. This is similar to `UniqueRc`, but
`UniqueRc` doesn't support the allocator parameter, and there is no
`UniqueArc`.
Add `size_of` and `size_of_val` and `align_of` and `align_of_val` to the prelude
(Note: need to update the PR to add `align_of` and `align_of_val`, and remove the second commit with the myriad changes to appease the lint.)
Many, many projects use `size_of` to get the size of a type. However,
it's also often equally easy to hardcode a size (e.g. `8` instead of
`size_of::<u64>()`). Minimizing friction in the use of `size_of` helps
ensure that people use it and make code more self-documenting.
The name `size_of` is unambiguous: the name alone, without any prefix or
path, is self-explanatory and unmistakeable for any other functionality.
Adding it to the prelude cannot produce any name conflicts, as any local
definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't
need to wait for a new edition prelude to add it.
Add `fn into_raw_with_allocator` to Rc/Arc/Weak.
Split out from #119761
Add `fn into_raw_with_allocator` for `Rc`/`rc::Weak`[^1]/`Arc`/`sync::Weak`.
* Pairs with `from_raw_in` (which already exists on all 4 types).
* Name matches `Box::into_raw_with_allocator`.
* Associated fns on `Rc`/`Arc`, methods on `Weak`s.
<details> <summary>Future PR/ACP</summary>
As a follow-on to this PR, I plan to make a PR/ACP later to move `into_raw(_parts)` from `Container<_, A: Allocator>` to only `Container<_, Global>` (where `Container` = `Vec`/`Box`/`Rc`/`rc::Weak`/`Arc`/`sync::Weak`) so that users of non-`Global` allocators have to explicitly handle the allocator when using `into_raw`-like APIs.
The current behaviors of stdlib containers are inconsistent with respect to what happens to the allocator when `into_raw` is called (which does not return the allocator)
| Type | `into_raw` currently callable with | behavior of `into_raw`|
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Box` | any allocator | allocator is [dropped](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/src/alloc/boxed.rs.html#1060) |
| `Vec` | any allocator | allocator is [forgotten](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/src/alloc/vec/mod.rs.html#884) |
| `Arc`/`Rc`/`Weak` | any allocator | allocator is [forgotten](https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/sync.rs.html#1487)(Arc) [(sync::Weak)](https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/sync.rs.html#2726) [(Rc)](https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/rc.rs.html#1352) [(rc::Weak)](https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/rc.rs.html#2993) |
In my opinion, neither implicitly dropping nor implicitly forgetting the allocator is ideal; dropping it could immediately invalidate the returned pointer, and forgetting it could unintentionally leak memory. My (to-be) proposed solution is to just forbid calling `into_raw(_parts)` on containers with non-`Global` allocators, and require calling `into_raw_with_allocator`(/`Vec::into_raw_parts_with_alloc`)

[^1]: Technically, `rc::Weak::into_raw_with_allocator` is not newly added, as it was modified and renamed from `rc::Weak::into_raw_and_alloc`.

Add `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` as well, with similar
justification: widely useful, self-explanatory, unmistakeable for
anything else, won't produce conflicts.
* Remove A: Clone bound from Rc::assume_init, Rc::downcast, and Rc::downcast_unchecked.
* Make From<Rc<[T; N]>> for Rc<[T]> allocator-aware.
Internal changes:
* Made Arc::internal_into_inner_with_allocator method into Arc::into_inner_with_allocator associated fn.
* Add private Rc::into_inner_with_allocator (to match Arc), so other fns don't have to juggle ManuallyDrop.
