Mention `std::env::var` in `env!`
When searching for how to read an environment variable, I first encountered the `env!` macro. It would have been useful to me if the documentation had included a link to `std::env::var`, which is what I was actually looking for.
Improve terse test output.
The current terse output gives 112 chars per line, which causes
wraparound for people using 100 char wide terminals, which is very
common.
This commit changes it to be exactly 100 wide, which makes the output
look much nicer.
Don't cast thread name to an integer for prctl
`libc::prctl` and the `prctl` definitions in glibc, musl, and the kernel headers are C variadic functions. Therefore, all the arguments (except for the first) are untyped. It is only the Linux man page which says that `prctl` takes 4 `unsigned long` arguments. I have no idea why it says this.
In any case, the upshot is that we don't need to cast the pointer to an integer and confuse Miri.
But in light of this... what are we doing with those three `0`s? We're passing 3 `i32`s to `prctl`, which doesn't fill me with confidence. The man page says `unsigned long` and all the constants in the linux kernel are macros for expressions of the form `1UL << N`. I'm mostly commenting on this because looks a whole lot like some UB that was found in SQLite a few years ago: <https://youtu.be/LbzbHWdLAI0?t=1925> that was related to accidentally passing a 32-bit value from a literal `0` instead of a pointer-sized value. This happens to work on x86 due to the size of pointers and happens to work on x86_64 due to the calling convention. But also, there is no good reason for an implementation to be looking at those arguments. Some other calls to `prctl` require that other arguments be zeroed, but not `PR_SET_NAME`... so why are we even passing them?
I would prefer to end such questions by either passing 3 `libc::c_ulong`, or not passing those at all, but I'm not sure which is better.

fix: Vec leak when capacity is 0
When `RawVec::with_capacity_in` is called with capacity 0, an allocation of size 0 is allocated.
However, `<RawVec as Drop>::drop` doesn't deallocate, since it only checks if capacity was 0. Fixed by not allocating when capacity is 0.
Fix unsound `File` methods
This is a draft attempt to fix#81357. *EDIT*: this PR now tackles `read()`, `write()`, `read_at()`, `write_at()` and `read_buf`. Still needs more testing though.
cc `@jstarks,` can you confirm the the Windows team is ok with the Rust stdlib using `NtReadFile` and `NtWriteFile`?
~Also, I'm provisionally using `CancelIo` in a last ditch attempt to recover but I'm not sure that this is actually a good idea. Especially as getting into this state would be a programmer error so aborting the process is justified in any case.~ *EDIT*: removed, see comments.

caution against ptr-to-int transmutes
I don't know how strong of a statement we want to make here, but I am very concerned that the current docs could be interpreted as saying that ptr-to-int transmutes are just as okay as transmuting `*mut T` into an `&mut T`.
Examples [like this](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/286#issuecomment-1085144431) show that ptr-to-int transmutes are deeply suspicious -- they are either UB, or they don't round-trip properly, or we have to basically say that `transmute` will actively look for pointers and do all the things a ptr-to-int cast does (which includes a global side-effect of marking the pointed-to allocation as 'exposed').
Another alternative might be to simply not talk about them... but we *do* want people to use casts rather than transmutes for this.

Update panic docs to make it clearer when to use panic vs Result
This is based on a question that came up in one of my [error handling office hours](https://twitter.com/yaahc_/status/1506376624509374467?s=20&t=Sp-cEjrx5kpMdNsAGPOo9w) meetings. I had a user who was fairly familiar with error type design, thiserror and anyhow, and rust in general, but who was still confused about when to use panics vs when to use Result and `Error`.
This will also be cross referenced in an error handling FAQ that I will be creating in the https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling repo shortly.
explicitly distinguish pointer::addr and pointer::expose_addr
``@bgeron`` pointed out that the current docs promise that `ptr.addr()` and `ptr as usize` are equivalent. I don't think that is a promise we want to make. (Conceptually, `ptr as usize` might 'escape' the provenance to enable future `usize as ptr` casts, but `ptr.addr()` dertainly does not do that.)
So I propose we word the docs a bit more carefully here. ``@Gankra`` what do you think?
Mention implementers of unsatisfied trait
When encountering an unsatisfied trait bound, if there are no other
suggestions, mention all the types that *do* implement that trait:

Windows: Synchronize asynchronous pipe reads and writes
On Windows, the pipes used for spawned processes are opened for asynchronous access but `read` and `write` are done using the standard methods that assume synchronous access. This means that the buffer (and variables on the stack) may be read/written to after the function returns.
This PR ensures reads/writes complete before returning. Note that this only applies to pipes we create and does not affect the standard file read/write methods.
Fixes#95411
Add SyncUnsafeCell.
This adds `SyncUnsafeCell`, which is just `UnsafeCell` except it implements `Sync`.
This was first proposed under the name `RacyUnsafeCell` here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-415515748 and here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-432741659 and here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-888435728
It allows you to create an UnsafeCell that is Sync without having to wrap it in a struct first (and then implement Sync for that struct).
E.g. `static X: SyncUnsafeCell<i32>`. Using a regular `UnsafeCell` as `static` is not possible, because it isn't `Sync`. We have a language workaround for it called `static mut`, but it's nice to be able to use the proper type for such unsafety instead.
It also makes implementing synchronization primitives based on unsafe cells slightly less verbose, because by using `SyncUnsafeCell` for `UnsafeCell`s that are shared between threads, you don't need a separate `impl<..> Sync for ..`. Using this type also clearly documents that the cell is expected to be accessed from multiple threads.
