Rather than referencing a slice's pointer and then creating a new slice
with a longer length, offset from the base structure pointer instead.
This makes some choices of Rust semantics happier.
The UNIX and WASI implementations use `isatty`. The Windows
implementation uses the same logic the `atty` crate uses, including the
hack needed to detect msys terminals.
Implement this trait for `File` and for `Stdin`/`Stdout`/`Stderr` and
their locked counterparts on all platforms. On UNIX and WASI, implement
it for `BorrowedFd`/`OwnedFd`. On Windows, implement it for
`BorrowedHandle`/`OwnedHandle`.

sync thread_local key conditions exactly with what the macro uses

Optimize TLS on Windows
This implements the suggestion in the current TLS code to embed the linked list of destructors in the `StaticKey` structure to save allocations. Additionally, locking is avoided when no destructor needs to be run. By using one Windows-provided `Once` per key instead of a global lock, locking is more finely-grained (this unblocks #100579).
Allow compiling the `wasm32-wasi` std library with atomics

Reduce CString allocations in std as much as possible
Currently, every operation involving paths in `fs` allocates memory to hold the path before sending it through the syscall. This PR instead uses a stack allocation (chosen size is somewhat arbitrary) when the path is short before falling back to heap allocations for long paths.
Benchmarks show that the stack allocation is ~2x faster for short paths:
```
test sys::unix::fd::tests::bench_heap_path_alloc ... bench: 34 ns/iter (+/- 2)
test sys::unix::fd::tests::bench_stack_path_alloc ... bench: 15 ns/iter (+/- 1)
```
For long paths, I couldn't find any measurable difference.
---
I'd be surprised if I was the first to think of this, so I didn't fully flush out the PR. If this change is desirable, I'll make use of `run_with_cstr` across all platforms in every fs method (currently just unix open for testing). I also added an `impl From<FromBytesWithNulError>` which is presumably a no-no (or at least needs to be done in another PR).

std: use `sync::RwLock` for internal statics
Since `sync::RwLock` is now `const`-constructible, it can be used for internal statics, removing the need for `sys_common::StaticRwLock`. This adds some extra allocations on platforms which need to box their locks (currently SGX and some UNIX), but these will become unnecessary with the lock improvements tracked in #93740.

Check if TCS is a null pointer on SGX
The `EENTER` instruction only checks if the TCS is aligned, not if it zero. Saying the address returned is a `NonNull<u8>` (for which `Tcs` is a type alias) is unsound. As well-behaved runners will not put the TCS at address zero, so the definition of `Tcs` is correct. However, `std` should check the address before casting it to a `NonNull`.

Optimize thread parking on NetBSD
As the futex syscall is not present in the latest stable release, NetBSD cannot use the efficient thread parker and locks Linux uses. Currently, it therefore relies on a pthread-based parker, consisting of a mutex and semaphore which protect a state variable. NetBSD however has more efficient syscalls available: [`_lwp_park`](https://man.netbsd.org/_lwp_park.2) and [`_lwp_unpark`](https://man.netbsd.org/_lwp_unpark.2). These already provide the exact semantics of `thread::park` and `Thread::unpark`, but work with thread ids. In `std`, this ID is here stored in an atomic state variable, which is also used to optimize cases were the parking token is already available at the time `thread::park` is called.

Windows RNG: Use `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` by default
This only changes a small amount of actual code, the rest is documentation outlining the history of this module as I feel it will be relevant to any future issues that might crop up.
The code change is to use the `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` [pseudo-handle](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/cng-algorithm-pseudo-handles) by default, which simply uses the default RNG. Previously we used `BCRYPT_USE_SYSTEM_PREFERRED_RNG` which has to load the system configuration and then find and load that RNG. I suspect this was the cause of failures on some systems (e.g. due to corrupted config). However, this is admittedly speculation as I can't reproduce the issue myself (and it does seem quite rare even in the wild). Still, removing a possible point of failure is likely worthwhile in any case.

Support `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit|sig_dfl"]` on `fn main()` to prevent ignoring `SIGPIPE`
When enabled, programs don't have to explicitly handle `ErrorKind::BrokenPipe` any longer. Currently, the program
```rust
fn main() { loop { println!("hello world"); } }
```
will print an error if used with a short-lived pipe, e.g.
% ./main | head -n 1
hello world
thread 'main' panicked at 'failed printing to stdout: Broken pipe (os error 32)', library/std/src/io/stdio.rs:1016:9
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
by enabling `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]` like this
```rust
#![feature(unix_sigpipe)]
#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]
fn main() { loop { println!("hello world"); } }
```
there is no error, because `SIGPIPE` will not be ignored and thus the program will be killed appropriately:
% ./main | head -n 1
hello world
The current libstd behaviour of ignoring `SIGPIPE` before `fn main()` can be explicitly requested by using `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_ign"]`.
With `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit"]`, no change at all is made to `SIGPIPE`, which typically means the behaviour will be the same as `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]`.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62569 and referenced issues for discussions regarding the `SIGPIPE` problem itself

Fix UB from misalignment and provenance widening in `std::sys::windows`
This fixes two types of UB:
1. Reading past the end of a reference in types like `&c::REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/256). This is fixed by using `addr_of!`. I think there are probably a couple more cases where we do this for other structures, and will look into it in a bit.
2. Failing to ensure that a `[u8; N]` on the stack is sufficiently aligned to convert to a `REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER`. ~~This was done by introducing a new `AlignedAs` struct that allows aligning one type to the alignment of another type. I expect there are other places where we have this issue too, or I wouldn't introduce this type, but will get to them after this lands.~~
~~Worth noting, it *is* implemented in a way that can cause problems depending on how we fix#81996, but this would be caught by the test I added (and presumably if we decide to fix that in a way that would break this code, we'd also introduce a `#[repr(simple)]` or `#[repr(linear)]` as a replacement for this usage of `#[repr(C)]`).~~
Edit: None of that is still in the code, I just went with a `Align8` since that's all we'll need for almost everything we want to call.
These are more or less "potential UB" since it's likely at the moment everything works fine, although the alignment not causing issues might just be down to luck (and x86 being forgiving).
~~NB: I've only ensured this check builds, but will run tests soon.~~ All tests pass, including stage2 compiler tests.

Use getentropy when possible on all Apple platforms
As the current code comments say, `SecRandomCopyBytes` is very heavyweight (regardless of purpose) compared to just asking the kernel directly for bytes from its own CSPRNG. We were not previously making an attempt to use the more efficient `getentropy` call on other Apple targets, instead solely using it on macOS. As the function is available on newer versions of Apple's different OSes, this changes the random filling to always attempt it first everywhere, only falling back to the less ideal alternatives after. This also cleans up the multiple Apple `imp` blocks into one.
It also should give a perf improvement, even if its likely unnoticeably small.
Refed XCode header for `getentropy` in the SDK:
```h

Reinstate preloading of some dll imports
I've now come around to the conclusion that there is a justification for pre-loading the synchronization functions `WaitOnAddress` and `WakeByAddressSingle`. I've found this to have a particularly impact in testing frameworks that may have short lived processes which immediately spawn lots of threads.
Also, because pre-main initializers imply a single-threaded environment, we can switch back to using relaxed atomics which might be a minor perf improvement on some platforms (though I doubt it's particularly notable).
r? ``@Mark-Simulacrum`` and sorry for the churn here.
For convenience I'll summarise previous issues with preloading and the solutions that are included in this PR (if any):
**Issue:** User pre-main initializers may be run before std's
**Solution:** The std now uses initializers that are guaranteed to run earlier than the old initializers. A note is also added that users should not copy std's behaviour if they want to ensure they run their initializers after std.
**Issue:** Miri does not understand pre-main initializers.
**Solution:** For miri only, run the function loading lazily instead.
**Issue:** We should ideally use `LoadLibrary` to get "api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0". Only "ntdll" and "kernel32" are guaranteed to always be loaded.
**Solution:** None. We can't use `LoadLibrary` pre-main. However, in the past `GetModuleHandle` has always worked in practice so this should hopefully not be a problem.
If/when Windows 7 support is dropped, we can finally remove all this for good and just use normal imports.
Avoid zeroing large stack buffers in stdio on Windows
Does what it says on the tin, using `[MaybeUninit<u16>; N]` instead of `[0u16; N]`. These buffers seem to be around 8kb, which is big enough that this is likely to be a very nice perf boost to stdio-heavy windows code.

Use posix_spawn for absolute paths on macOS

std::io: migrate ReadBuf to BorrowBuf/BorrowCursor
This PR replaces `ReadBuf` (used by the `Read::read_buf` family of methods) with `BorrowBuf` and `BorrowCursor`.
The general idea is to split `ReadBuf` because its API is large and confusing. `BorrowBuf` represents a borrowed buffer which is mostly read-only and (other than for construction) deals only with filled vs unfilled segments. a `BorrowCursor` is a mostly write-only view of the unfilled part of a `BorrowBuf` which distinguishes between initialized and uninitialized segments. For `Read::read_buf`, the caller would create a `BorrowBuf`, then pass a `BorrowCursor` to `read_buf`.
In addition to the major API split, I've made the following smaller changes:
* Removed some methods entirely from the API (mostly the functionality can be replicated with two calls rather than a single one)
* Unified naming, e.g., by replacing initialized with init and assume_init with set_init
* Added an easy way to get the number of bytes written to a cursor (`written` method)
As well as simplifying the API (IMO), this approach has the following advantages:
* Since we pass the cursor by value, we remove the 'unsoundness footgun' where a malicious `read_buf` could swap out the `ReadBuf`.
* Since `read_buf` cannot write into the filled part of the buffer, we prevent the filled part shrinking or changing which could cause underflow for the caller or unexpected behaviour.

Optimize `Wtf8Buf::into_string` for the case where it contains UTF-8.
Add a `is_known_utf8` flag to `Wtf8Buf`, which tracks whether the
string is known to contain UTF-8. This is efficiently computed in many
common situations, such as when a `Wtf8Buf` is constructed from a `String`
or `&str`, or with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide` which is already doing UTF-16
decoding and already checking for surrogates.
This makes `OsString::into_string` O(1) rather than O(N) on Windows in
common cases.
And, it eliminates the need to scan through the string for surrogates in
`Args::next` and `Vars::next`, because the strings are already being
translated with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`.
Many things on Windows construct `OsString`s with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`,
such as `DirEntry::file_name` and `fs::read_link`, so with this patch,
users of those functions can subsequently call `.into_string()` without
paying for an extra scan through the string for surrogates.

Align android `sigaddset` impl with the reference impl from Bionic

That said, the behavior difference is so subtle here that it's not hard to see why nobody noticed. This fixes the implementation to be equivalent to the one in bionic.

Remove Windows function preloading
After `@Mark-Simulacrum` asked me to provide guidance for when optionally imported functions should be preloaded, I realised my justifications were now quite weak. I think the strongest argument that can be made is that it avoids some degree of nondeterminism when calling these functions (in as far as system API calls can be said to be deterministic). However, I don't think that's particularly convincing unless there's a real world use case where it matters. Further discussion with `@thomcc` has strengthened my feeling that preloading isn't really needed.
Note that `WaitOnAddress` needed some adjustment to work without preloading. I opted not to use a macro for this special case as it seemed silly to do so for just one thing (and I don't like macros tbh).
