Explain non-dropped sender recv in docs
Original senders that are still hanging around could cause
Receiver::recv to not block since this is a potential footgun
for beginners, clarify more on this in the docs for readers to
be aware about it.
Maybe it would be better to show an example of the pattern where `drop(tx)` is used when it is being cloned multiple times? Although I have seen it in quite a few articles but I am surprised that this part is not very clear with the current words without careful reading.
> If the corresponding Sender has disconnected, or it disconnects while this call is blocking, this call will wake up and return Err to indicate that no more messages can ever be received on this channel. However, since channels are buffered, messages sent before the disconnect will still be properly received.
Some words there may seemed similar if I carefully read and relate it but if I am new, I probably does not know "drop" makes it "disconnected". So I mention the words "drop" and "alive" to make it more relatable to lifetime.
Revert #85176 addition of `clone_from` for `ManuallyDrop`
Forwarding `clone_from` to the inner value changes the observable behavior, as previously the inner value would *not* be dropped by the default implementation.
Frankly, this is a super-niche case, so #85176 is welcome to argue the behavior should be otherwise! But if we overrride it, IMO documenting the behavior would be good.

Implement nonzero arithmetics for NonZero types.
Hello'all, this is my first PR to this repo.
Non-zero natural numbers are stable by addition/multiplication/exponentiation, so it makes sense to make this arithmetic possible with `NonZeroU*`.
The major pitfall is that overflowing underlying `u*` types possibly lead to underlying `0` values, which break the major invariant of `NonZeroU*`. To accommodate it, only `checked_` and `saturating_` operations are implemented.
Other variants allowing wrapped results like `wrapping_` or `overflowing_` are ruled out *de facto*.
`impl Add<u*> for NonZeroU* { .. }` was considered, as it panics on overflow which enforces the invariant, but it does not so in release mode. I considered forcing `NonZeroU*::add` to panic in release mode by deferring the check to `u*::checked_add`, but this is less explicit for the user than directly using `NonZeroU*::checked_add`.
Following `@Lokathor's` advice on zulip, I have dropped the idea.
`@poliorcetics` on Discord also suggested implementing `_sub` operations, but I'd postpone this to another PR if there is a need for it. My opinion is that it could be useful in some cases, but that it makes less sense because non-null natural numbers are not stable by subtraction even in theory, while the overflowing problem is just about technical implementation.
One thing I don't like is that the type of the `other` arg differs in every implementation: `_add` methods accept any raw positive integer, `_mul` methods only accept non-zero values otherwise the invariant is also broken, and `_pow` only seems to accept `u32` for a reason I ignore but that seems consistent throughout `std`. Maybe there is a better way to harmonize this?
This is it, Iope I haven't forgotten anything and I'll be happy to read your feedback.

to_digit simplification (less jumps)
I just realised we might be able to make use of the fact that changing case in ascii is easy to help simplify to_digit some more.
It looks a bit cleaner and it looks like it's less jumps and there's less instructions in the generated assembly:

I removed the likely as it resulted in a few less instructions. (It's not been in there long - I added it in the last to_digit iteration).

the range `(0..10)` is documented as "The even numbers from zero to ten." - should be ".. to nine".
Updated code examples and wording in move keyword documentation
Had a conversation with someone on the Rust Discord who was confused by the move keyword documentation. Some of the wording is odd sounding ("owned by value" - what else can something be owned by?). Also, some of the examples used Copy types when demonstrating move, leading to variables still being accessible in the outer scope after the move, contradicting the examples' comments.
I changed the move keyword documentation a bit, removing that odd wording and changing all the examples to use non-Copy types
Multiple improvements to RwLocks
This PR replicates #77147, #77380 and #84650 on RWLocks :
- Split `sys_common::RWLock` in `StaticRWLock` and `MovableRWLock`
- Unbox rwlocks on some platforms (Windows, Wasm and unsupported)
- Simplify `RwLock::into_inner`
Notes to reviewers :
- For each target, I copied `MovableMutex` to guess if `MovableRWLock` should be boxed.
- ~A comment says that `StaticMutex` is not re-entrant, I don't understand why and I don't know whether it applies to `StaticRWLock`.~

Make copy/copy_nonoverlapping fn's again
Make copy/copy_nonoverlapping fn's again, rather than intrinsics.
This a short-term change to address issue #84297.
It effectively reverts PRs #81167#81238 (and part of #82967), #83091, and parts of #79684.
Revert "implement TrustedRandomAccess for Take iterator adapter"
This reverts commit 37a5b515e9 (#83990).
The original change unintentionally caused side-effects from certain iterator chains combining `take`, `zip` and `next_back()` to be omitted which is observable by user code and thus likely a breaking change
Technically one could declare it not a breaking change since `Zip`'s API contract is silent about about its backwards iteration behavior but on the other hand there is nothing in the stable Iterator API that could justify the currently observable behavior. And either way, this impact wasn't noticed or discussed in the original PR.
Fixes#85969
Forwarding implementation for Seek trait's stream_position method
Forwarding implementations for `Seek` trait's `stream_position` were missed when it was stabilized in `1.51.0`
Add `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast`
Adds an unstable utility method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast` under the feature flag `ip` (tracking issue: #27709).
Added for completeness with the other unicast methods (see also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85604#issuecomment-848220455) and opposite of `is_multicast`.
Fix documentation style inconsistencies for IP addresses
Pulled out of #85655 as it is unrelated. Fixes some inconsistencies in the docs for IP addresses:
- Currently some addresses are backticked, some are not, this PR backticks everything consistently. (looks better imo)
- Lowercase hex-literals are used when writing addresses.
To remind people like me who forget about it and send PRs to make them different, and to (probably) get a test failure if the code is changed to no longer uphold it.
The "read more" sentence formatted "object safety" as inline code
instead of providing a link to more information. This PR adds a link
to the Reference about this matter, as well as the page regarding trait

Default panic message should print Box<dyn Any>
Closes#86039
Prior to this patch, the panic message from running the following code would be `thread 'main' panicked at 'Box<Any>'...`
```rust
use std::panic::panic_any;
fn main() {
panic_any(42);
}
```
This patch updates the phrasing to be more consistent. It now instead shows the following panic message:
```
thread 'main' panicked at 'Box<dyn Any>', ...
```
It's a very small fix 😄
Clarify documentation of slice sorting methods
After reading about [this](https://polkadot.network/a-polkadot-postmortem-24-05-2021/), I realized that although the documentation of these methods is not ambiguous in its current state, it is very easy to read it and erroneously assume that their exact behaviour can be relied upon to be deterministic. Although the docs make no guarantees about which index is returned when there are multiple matches, being more explicit about when and how their determinism can be relied upon should help prevent people from making this mistake in the future.

Prior to this patch, the default panic message (resulting from calling

Update standard library for IntoIterator implementation of arrays
This PR partially resolves issue #84513 of updating the standard library part.

Show test type during prints
Test output can sometimes be confusing. For example doctest with the no_run argument are displayed the same way than test that are run.
During #83857 I got the feedback that test output can be confusing.
For the moment test output is
```
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 12) ... ignored
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 15) ... ok
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 21) ... ok
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 6) ... ok
```
I propose to change output by indicating the test type as
```
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 12) ... ignored
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 15) - compile ... ok
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 21) - compile fail ... ok
test $DIR/test-type.rs - f (line 6) ... ok
```
by indicating the test type after the test name (and in the case of doctest after the function name and line) and before the "...".
------------
Note: this is a proof of concept, the implementation is probably not optimal as the properties added in `TestDesc` are only use in the display and does not represent actual change of behavior, maybe `TestType::DocTest` could have fields

rustdoc: link to stable/beta docs consistently in documentation
This is an alternative to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84941 which fixes the problem consistently by linking to stable/beta for *all* items, not just for primitives.
## User-facing changes
- Intra-doc links to primitives that currently go to rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.x.html will start going to channel that rustdoc was built with. Nightly will continue going to /nightly; Beta will link to /beta; stable compilers will link to /1.52.1 (or whatever version they were built as).
- Cross-crate links from std to core currently go to /nightly unconditionally. They will start going to /1.52.0 on stable channels (but remain the same on nightly channels).
- Intra-crate links from std to std (or core to core) currently go to the same URL they are hosted at; they will continue to do so. Notably, this is different from everything else because it can preserve the distinction between /stable and /1.52.0 by using relative links.
Note that "links" includes both intra-doc links and rustdoc's own
automatically generated hyperlinks.
## Implementation changes
- Update the testsuite to allow linking to /beta and /1.52.1 in docs
- Use an html_root_url for the standard library that's dependent on the channel
This avoids linking to nightly docs on stable.
- Update rustdoc to use channel-dependent links for primitives from an
unknown crate
- Set DOC_RUST_LANG_ORG_CHANNEL from bootstrap to ensure it's in sync
- Include doc.rust-lang.org in the channel
cc Mark-Simulacrum - I know [you were dubious about this in the past](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Rustdoc.20unconditionally.20links.20to.20nightly.20libstd.20docs/near/231223124), but I'm not quite sure why? I see this as "just a bugfix", I don't know why rustdoc should unconditionally link to nightly.

Since android ndk version `r23-beta3`, `libgcc` has been replaced with `libunwind`. This moves the linking of `libgcc`/`libunwind` into the `unwind` crate where we check if the system compiler can find `libunwind` and fall back to `libgcc` if needed.

Remove `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local_strict`
Removes the unstable method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local_strict` and keeps the behaviour of `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local`, see also #85604 where I have tried to summarize related discussion so far.
My intent is for `is_unicast_link_local`, `is_unicast_site_local` and `is_unicast_global` to have the semantics of checking if an address has Link-Local, Site-Local or Global scope, see also #85696 which changes the behaviour of `is_unicast_global` and renames these methods to `has_unicast_XXX_scope` to reflect this.
For checking Link-Local scope we currently have two methods: `is_unicast_link_local` and `is_unicast_link_local_strict`. This is because of what appears to be conflicting definitions in [IETF RFC 4291](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291).
From [IETF RFC 4291 section 2.4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.4): "Link-Local unicast" (`FE80::/10`)
```text

Loopback 00...1 (128 bits) ::1/128 2.5.3

Link-Local unicast 1111111010 FE80::/10 2.5.6

```
From [IETF RFC 4291 section 2.5.6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.6): "Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses" (`FE80::/64`)
```text

+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111010| 0 | interface ID |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
```
With `is_unicast_link_local` checking `FE80::/10` and `is_unicast_link_local_strict` checking `FE80::/64`.
There is also [IETF RFC 5156 section 2.4](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5156#section-2.4) which defines "Link-Scoped Unicast" as `FE80::/10`.
It has been pointed out that implementations in other languages and the linux kernel all use `FE80::/10` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76098#issuecomment-706916840, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76098#issuecomment-705928605).
Given all of this I believe the correct interpretation to be the following: All addresses in `FE80::/10` are defined as having Link-Local scope, however currently only the block `FE80::/64` has been allocated for "Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses". This might change in the future however; more addresses in `FE80::/10` could be allocated and those will have Link-Local scope. I therefore believe the current behaviour of `is_unicast_link_local` to be correct (if interpreting it to have the semantics of `has_unicast_link_local_scope`) and `is_unicast_link_local_strict` to be unnecessary, confusing and even a potential source of future bugs:
Currently there is no real difference in checking `FE80::/10` or `FE80::/64`, since any address in practice will be `FE80::/64`. However if an application uses `is_unicast_link_local_strict` to implement link-local (so non-global) behaviour, it will be incorrect in the future if addresses outside of `FE80::/64` are allocated.

Make `Step` trait safe to implement
This PR makes a few modifications to the `Step` trait that I believe better position it for stabilization in the short term. In particular,
1. `unsafe trait TrustedStep` is introduced, indicating that the implementation of `Step` for a given type upholds all stated invariants (which have remained unchanged). This is gated behind a new `trusted_step` feature, as stabilization is realistically blocked on min_specialization.
2. The `Step` trait is internally specialized on the `TrustedStep` trait, which avoids a serious performance regression.
3. `TrustedLen` is implemented for `T: TrustedStep` as the latter's invariants subsume the former's.
4. The `Step` trait is no longer `unsafe`, as the invariants must not be relied upon by unsafe code (unless the type implements `TrustedStep`).
5. `TrustedStep` is implemented for all types that implement `Step` in the standard library and compiler.
6. The `step_trait_ext` feature is merged into the `step_trait` feature. I was unable to find any reasoning for the features being split; the `_unchecked` methods need not necessarily be stabilized at the same time, but I think it is useful to have them under the same feature flag.
All existing implementations of `Step` will be broken, as it is not possible to `unsafe impl` a safe trait. Given this trait only exists on nightly, I feel this breakage is acceptable. The blanket `impl<T: Step> TrustedLen for T` will likely cause some minor breakage, but this should be covered by the equivalent impl for `TrustedStep`.
Hopefully these changes are sufficient to place `Step` in decent position for stabilization, which would allow user-defined types to be used with `a..b` syntax.
copy_from_slice generally falls back to memcpy/memmove, which is much more expensive
than we need to write a single element in.
This saves 0.26% instructions on the diesel benchmark.
To make way for a new IoSlice(Mut)::advance function that advances a
single slice.
Also changes the signature to accept a `&mut &mut [IoSlice]`, not
returning anything. This will better match the future IoSlice::advance
function.
This patch adds `String::extend_from_within` function under the
`string_extend_from_within` feature gate similar to the
`Vec::extend_from_within` function.
