Remove fNN::lerp
Lerp is [surprisingly complex with multiple tradeoffs depending on what guarantees you want to provide](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86269#issuecomment-869108301) (and what you're willing to drop for raw speed), so we don't have consensus on what implementation to use, let alone what signature - `t.lerp(a, b)` nicely puts `a, b` together, but makes dispatch to lerp custom types with the same signature basically impossible, and major ecosystem crates (e.g. nalgebra, glium) use `a.lerp(b, t)`, which is easily confusable. It was suggested to maybe provide a `Lerp<T>` trait and `t.lerp([a, b])`, which _could_ be implemented by downstream math libraries for their types, but also significantly raises the bar from a simple fNN method to a full trait, and does nothing to solve the implementation question. (It also raises the question of whether we'd support higher-order bezier interpolation.)
The only consensus we have is the lack of consensus, and the [general temperature](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86269#issuecomment-951347135) is that we should just remove this method (giving the method space back to 3rd party libs) and revisit this if (and likely only if) IEEE adds lerp to their specification.
If people want a lerp, they're _probably_ already using (or writing) a math support library, which provides a lerp function for its custom math types and can provide the same lerp implementation for the primitive types via an extension trait.

Fix copy-paste error in String::as_mut_vec() docs
Did not expect the comments to be perfectly justified... can't wait to be told to change it to `Vec<u8>`, which destroys the justification 😼
Edit error messages for `rustc_resolve::AmbiguityKind` variants
Edit the language of the ambiguity descriptions for E0659. These strings now appear as notes.

Avoid a branch on key being local for queries that use the same local and extern providers
Currently based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85810 as it slightly conflicts with it. Only the last two commits are new.
Prevent duplicate caller bounds candidates by exposing default substs in Unevaluated
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89334
The changes introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87280 allowed for "duplicate" caller bounds candidates to be assembled that only differed in their default substs having been "exposed" or not and resulted in an ambiguity error during trait selection. To fix this we expose the defaults substs during the creation of the ParamEnv.

Fix and extent ControlFlow `traverse_inorder` example
Fix and extent ControlFlow `traverse_inorder` example
1. The existing example compiles on its own, but any usage fails to be monomorphised and so doesn't compile. Fix that by using Fn trait instead of FnMut.
2. Added an example usage of `traverse_inorder` showing how we can terminate the traversal early.
Fixes#90063
Add -Z no-unique-section-names to reduce ELF header bloat.
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most targets), the LLVM backend will generate different section names for each function. For example, a function `func` would generate a section called `.text.func`. Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those sections into a single one in the binary. However, starting with [LLVM 12](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5d1a04), the backend will also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in thousands of `.gcc_except_table.*` sections ending up in the final binary because some linkers like LLD don't currently merge or strip these EH sections (see discussion [here](https://reviews.llvm.org/D83655)). This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's `-fno-unique-section-names`, and instructs LLVM to generate the same `.text` and `.gcc_except_table` section for each function, resulting in a smaller final binary.
The motivation to add this new option was because we have a binary that ended up with so many ELF sections (over 65,000) that it broke some existing ELF tools, which couldn't handle so many sections.
Here's our old binary:
```
$ readelf --sections old.elf | head -1
There are 71746 section headers, starting at offset 0x2a246508:
$ readelf --sections old.elf | grep shstrtab
[71742] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 2977204c ad44bb 00 0 0 1
```
That's an 11MB+ string table. Here's the new binary using this option:
```
$ readelf --sections new.elf | head -1
There are 43 section headers, starting at offset 0x29143ca8:
$ readelf --sections new.elf | grep shstrtab
[40] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 29143acc 0001db 00 0 0 1
```
The whole binary size went down by over 20MB, which is quite significant.
Move back to linux builder on try builds
Apparently deleted the wrong line when trying to revert changes to try in #90100 which I now see still contains the do not merge commit -- maybe I forgot to force push the local changes I had pending or something.

Changed slice.swap documentation for better readability
The example exchanges the letters "b" and "d", these can be easily confused and are hard to read for people with dyslexia.
Therefore, I changed the example to a more easily readable one.
This is just a small fix and it's not urgent by any means, but I spent 5 minutes trying to understand why I couldn't see any change so I fixed it.
Anyway, thank you for all your works!
enable `i8mm` target feature on aarch64 and arm
As in https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/issues/1233, `i8mm` needs to be turned on to support the implementation of `vmmla` and `vusmmla`neon instructions in stdarch.
