A more efficient slice comparison implementation for T: !BytewiseEq
(This is a follow up PR on #113654)
This PR changes the implementation for `[T]` slice comparison when `T: !BytewiseEq`. The previous implementation using zip was not optimized properly by the compiler, which didn't leverage the fact that both length were equal. Performance improvements are for example 20% when testing that `[Some(0_u64); 4096].as_slice() == [Some(0_u64); 4096].as_slice()`.
Use `assert_unsafe_precondition` for `char::from_u32_unchecked`
Use `assert_unsafe_precondition` in `char::from_u32_unchecked` so that it can be stabilized as `const`.
Rewrite `pin` module documentation to clarify usage and invariants
The documentation of `pin` today does not give a complete treatment of pinning from first principles, nor does it adequately help build intuition and understanding for how the different elements of the pinning story fit together.
This rewrite attempts to address these in a way that makes the concept more approachable while also making the documentation more normative.
This PR picks up where `@mcy` left off in #88500 (thanks to him for the original work and `@Manishearth` for mentioning it such that I originally found it). I've directly incorporated much of the feedback left on the original PR and have rewritten and changed some of the main conceits of the prose to better adhere to the feedback from the reviewers on that PR or just explain something in (hopefully) a better way.
The documentation today does not give a complete treatment of pinning
from first principles, which appropriately describes how to design types
that use it, nor does it provide formal statements of the guarantees
users need to be aware of.

more approachable while also making the documentation more normative.
Fix typo in docs for slice::split_once, slice::rsplit_once
This fixes a typo in the doc comments for these methods, which I tripped over while reading the docs: "If any matching elements are **resent** in the slice [...]", which is presumably meant to read **present**.
I mentioned this in #112811, the tracking issue for `slice_split_once`, and was encouraged to open a PR.
document rounding behavior of rint/nearbyint for ties
It's not possible to change the rounding mode in Rust, so these intrinsics will always behave like `roundeven`.
Rewrite Iterator::position default impl
Storing the accumulating value outside the fold in an attempt to improve code generation has shown speedups on various handwritten benchmarks, see discussion at #119551.
rustc_span: More consistent span combination operations
Also add more tests for using `tt` in addition to `ident`, and some other minor tweaks, see individual commits.
This is a part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119412 that doesn't yet add side tables for metavariable spans.
