Document overrides of `clone_from()` in core/std
As mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96979#discussion_r1379502413
Specifically, when an override doesn't just forward to an inner type, document the behavior and that it's preferred over simply assigning a clone of source. Also, change instances where the second parameter is "other" to "source".
I reused some of the wording over and over for similar impls, but I'm not sure that the wording is actually *good*. Would appreciate feedback about that.
Also, now some of these seem to provide pretty specific guarantees about behavior (e.g. will reuse the exact same allocation iff the len is the same), but I was basing it off of the docs for [`Box::clone_from`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.75.0/std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.clone_from-1) - I'm not sure if providing those strong guarantees is actually good or not.
If you take a quick glance at the documentation for Path::ancestors, the unwraps take the natural focus. Potentially indicating that ancestors might panic.
In the reworked version I've also moved the link with parent returning None and that the iterator will always yield &self to before the yield examples.
Changes the example from using the qualified path of PathBuf with an import. This is what's done in all other Path/PathBuf examples and makes the code look a bit cleaner.

Help with common API confusion, like asking for `push` when the data structure really has `append`.

#59450
Add `display` method to `OsStr` for lossy display of an `OsStr` which may contain invalid unicode.
Invalid Unicode sequences are replaced with `U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER`.
This change also makes the `std::ffi::os_str` module public.
`Path::with_extension` used to reallocate (and copy) paths twice per
call, now it does it once, by checking the size of the previous and new
extensions it's possible to call `PathBuf::with_capacity` and pass the
exact capacity it takes.
Also reduce the memory consumption of the path returned from
`Path::with_extension` by using exact capacity instead of using
amortized exponential growth.
enable `rust_2018_idioms` lint group for doctests
With this change, `rust_2018_idioms` lint group will be enabled for compiler/libstd doctests.

std docs: edit `PathBuf::set_file_name` example
To make explicit that `set_file_name` might replace or remove the
extension, not just the file stem.
Also edit docs for `Path::with_file_name`, which calls `set_file_name`.
Update documentation wording on path 'try_exists' functions
Just eliminate the quadruple negation in `doesn't silently ignore errors unrelated to ... not existing.`
to show this method might replace or remove the extension, not just the
file stem
also edit docs of `Path::with_file_name` because it calls
`PathBuf::set_file_name`
Bump bootstrap compiler to 1.68
This also changes our stage0.json to include the rustc component for the rustfmt pinned nightly toolchain, which is currently necessary due to rustfmt dynamically linking to that toolchain's librustc_driver and libstd.
r? `@pietroalbini`
Add notes and examples about non-intuitive `PathBuf::set_extension` behavior
Basically, passing the empty string will actually remove the extension instead of setting it to the empty string. This might change what is considered to be an extension. Additionally, passing an extension that contains dots will make the path only consider the last part of it to be the new extension.

Implement DerefMut for PathBuf
Without this, there's no way to get a `&mut Path` from `PathBuf` without
going through `into_boxed_path`. This is relevant now that #105002 adds
`PathBuf::as_mut_os_string` and `Path::as_mut_os_str`.
A relative path with just one component will return `Some("")` as its
parent, which wasn't clear to me from the documentation.
The parent of `""` is `None`, which was missing from the documentation
as well.
State up-front and center what shape the returned extension will have, without
making the user read through the description and examples.
Rationale: Various frameworks and libraries for different platforms have their
different conventions as to whether an "extension" is ".ext" or just "ext" and
anyone that's had to deal with this ambiguity in the past is always double- or
triple-checking to make sure the function call returns an extension that matches
the expected semantics. Offer the answer to this important question right off
the bat instead of making them dig to find it.
Stabilize `Path::try_exists()` and improve doc
This stabilizes the `Path::try_exists()` method which returns
`Result<bool, io::Error>` instead of `bool` allowing handling of errors
unrelated to the file not existing. (e.g permission errors)
Along with the stabilization it also:
* Warns that the `exists()` method is error-prone and suggests to use
the newly stabilized one.
* Suggests it instead of `metadata()` to handle errors.
* Mentions TOCTOU bugs to avoid false assumption that `try_exists()` is
completely safe fixed version of `exists()`.
* Renames the feature of still-unstable `std::fs::try_exists()` to
`fs_try_exists` to avoid name conflict.
The tracking issue #83186 remains open to track `fs_try_exists`.
