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.

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`.

This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
Add MAIN_SEPARATOR_STR
Currently, if someone needs access to the path separator as a str, they need to go through this mess:
```rust
unsafe {
std::str::from_utf8_unchecked(slice::from_ref(&(MAIN_SEPARATOR as u8)))
}
```
This PR just re-exports an existing path separator str API.
Add documentation to more `From::from` implementations.
For users looking at documentation through IDE popups, this gives them relevant information rather than the generic trait documentation wording “Performs the conversion”. For users reading the documentation for a specific type for any reason, this informs them when the conversion may allocate or copy significant memory versus when it is always a move or cheap copy.
Notes on specific cases:
* The new documentation for `From<T> for T` explains that it is not a conversion at all.
* Also documented `impl<T, U> Into<U> for T where U: From<T>`, the other central blanket implementation of conversion.
* The new documentation for construction of maps and sets from arrays of keys mentions the handling of duplicates. Future work could be to do this for *all* code paths that convert an iterable to a map or set.
* I did not add documentation to conversions of a specific error type to a more general error type.
* I did not add documentation to unstable code.
This change was prepared by searching for the text "From<... for" and so may have missed some cases that for whatever reason did not match. I also looked for `Into` impls but did not find any worth documenting by the above criteria.
Fix hashing for windows paths containing a CurDir component
* the logic only checked for / but not for \
* verbatim paths shouldn't skip items at all since they don't get normalized
* the extra branches get optimized out on unix since is_sep_byte is a trivial comparison and is_verbatim is always-false
* tests lacked windows coverage for these cases
That lead to equal paths not having equal hashes and to unnecessary collisions.
