libcore: Add VaList and variadic arg handling intrinsics
## Summary
- Add intrinsics for `va_start`, `va_end`, `va_copy`, and `va_arg`.
- Add `core::va_list::VaList` to `libcore`.
Part 1 of (at least) 3 for #44930
Comments and critiques are very much welcomed 😄
fix futures creating aliasing mutable and shared ref
Fixes the problem described in https://github.com/solson/miri/issues/532#issuecomment-442552764: `set_task_waker` takes a shared reference and puts a copy into the TLS (in a `NonNull`), but `get_task_waker` gets it back out as a mutable reference. That violates "mutable references must not alias anything"!
Make std::os::unix/linux::fs::MetadataExt::a/m/ctime* documentation clearer
I was confused by this API so I clarified what they are doing.
I was wondering if I should try to unify more documentation and examples between `unix` and `linux` (e.g. “of the file” is used in `unix` to refer to the file these metadata is for, “of this file” in `linux`, “of the underlying file” in `std::fs::File`).
Fix small doc mistake on std::io::read::read_to_end
The std::io::read main documentation can lead to error because the buffer is prefilled with 10 zeros that will pad the response.
Using an empty vector is better.
The `read_to_end` documentation is already correct though.
This is my first rust PR, don't hesitate to tell me if I did something wrong.
Implement checked_add_duration for SystemTime
[Original discussion on the rust user forum](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/std-systemtime-misses-a-checked-add-function/21785)
Since `SystemTime` is opaque there is no way to check if the result of an addition will be in bounds. That makes the `Add<Duration>` trait completely unusable with untrusted data. This is a big problem because adding a `Duration` to `UNIX_EPOCH` is the standard way of constructing a `SystemTime` from a unix timestamp.
This PR implements `checked_add_duration(&self, &Duration) -> Option<SystemTime>` for `std::time::SystemTime` and as a prerequisite also for all platform specific time structs. This also led to the refactoring of many `add_duration(&self, &Duration) -> SystemTime` functions to avoid redundancy (they now unwrap the result of `checked_add_duration`).
Some basic unit tests for the newly introduced function were added too.
I wasn't sure which stabilization attribute to add to the newly introduced function, so I just chose `#[stable(feature = "time_checked_add", since = "1.32.0")]` for now to make it compile. Please let me know how I should change it or if I violated any other conventions.
P.S.: I could only test on Linux so far, so I don't necessarily expect it to compile for all platforms.
Move a flaky process test out of libstd
This test ensures that everything in `env::vars()` is inherited but
that's not actually true because other tests may add env vars after we
spawn the process, causing the test to be flaky! This commit moves the
test to a run-pass test where it can execute in isolation.
Along the way this removes a lot of the platform specificity of the
test, using iteslf to print the environment instead of a foreign process.
Clarifying documentation for collections::hash_map::Entry::or_insert
Previous version does not show that or_insert does not insert the passed value, as the passed value was the same value as what was already in the map.

Increase `Duration` approximate equal threshold to 1us
Previously this threshold when testing was 100ns, but the Windows
documentation states:
> which is a high resolution (<1us) time stamp
which presumably means that we could have up to 1us resolution, which
means that 100ns doesn't capture "equivalent" time intervals due to
various bits of rounding here and there.
It's hoped that this..
Closes#56034
Replace data.clone() by Arc::clone(&data) in mutex doc.
Arc::clone(&from) is considered as more idiomatic because it conveys more explicitly the meaning of the code.
Since this clone is visible in the official documentation, I thought it could be better to use the more idiomatic version.

NetBSD: link libstd with librt in addition to libpthread
Some aio(3) and mq(3) functions in the libc crate actually come from NetBSD librt, not libc or libpthread.
Redox: Update to new changes
These are all cherry-picked from our fork:
- Remove the `env:` scheme
- Update `execve` system call to `fexec`
- Interpret shebangs: these are no longer handled by the kernel, which like usual tries to be as minimal as possible
This commit, after reverting #55359, applies a different fix for #46775
while also fixing #55775. The basic idea was to go back to pre-#55359
libstd, and then fix#46775 in a way that doesn't expose #55775.
The issue described in #46775 boils down to two problems:
* First, the global environment is reset during `exec` but, but if the
`exec` call fails then the global environment was a dangling pointer
into free'd memory as the block of memory was deallocated when
`Command` is dropped. This is fixed in this commit by installing a
`Drop` stack object which ensures that the `environ` pointer is
preserved on a failing `exec`.
* Second, the global environment was accessed in an unsynchronized
fashion during `exec`. This was fixed by ensuring that the
Rust-specific environment lock is acquired for these system-level
operations.
Thanks to Alex Gaynor for pioneering the solution here!
Closes#55775

global allocators: add a few comments
These comments answer some questions that came up when I tried to understand how the control flow works for the global allocator, `Global` and `System`.
r? @alexcrichton
This commit deletes the `alloc_system` crate from the standard
distribution. This unstable crate is no longer needed in the modern
stable global allocator world, but rather its functionality is folded
directly into the standard library. The standard library was already the
only stable location to access this crate, and as a result this should
not affect any stable code.
