remove the memcpy-on-equal-ptrs assumption
One of the libc we support, musl, [defines `memcpy` with `restrict` pointers](https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/string/memcpy.c#n5). This in fact matches the definition in the C standard. Calling that `memcpy` with overlapping pointers is clearly UB, who knows what the compiler did when optimizing this `memcpy` -- it certainly assumed source and destination to be disjoint.
Lucky enough, it does not seem like we actually need this assumption that `memcpy(p, p, n)` is always allowed. clang and GCC need it since they use `memcpy` to compile C assignments, but [we use memmove for similar code](https://godbolt.org/z/bcW85WYcM). There are no known cases where LLVM introduces calls to memcpy on equal pointers itself. (And if there were, that would be a soundness bug in rustc due to the musl issue mentioned above.)
This does mean we must make sure to never call the LLVM `memcpy` builtin on equal ranges even though the LangRef says that is allowed. Currently that is the case so we just need to make sure it remains the case. :) Cc `@rust-lang/opsem` `@rust-lang/wg-llvm`
Remove option_payload_ptr; redundant to offset_of
The `option_payload_ptr` intrinsic is no longer required as `offset_of` supports traversing enums (#114208). This PR removes it in order to dogfood offset_of (as suggested at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106655#issuecomment-1790907626). However, it will not build until those changes reach beta (which I think is within the next 8 days?) so I've opened it as a draft.
Reenable effects in libcore
With #116670, #117531, and #117171, I think we would be comfortable with re-enabling the effects feature for more testing in libcore.

Clean up unchecked_math, separate out unchecked_shifts
Tracking issue: #85122
Changes:
1. Remove `const_inherent_unchecked_arith` flag and make const-stability flags the same as the method feature flags. Given the number of other unsafe const fns already stabilised, it makes sense to just stabilise these in const context when they're stabilised.
2. Move `unchecked_shl` and `unchecked_shr` into a separate `unchecked_shifts` flag, since the semantics for them are unclear and they'll likely be stabilised separately as a result.
3. Add an `unchecked_neg` method exclusively to signed integers, under the `unchecked_neg` flag. This is because it's a new API and probably needs some time to marinate before it's stabilised, and while it *would* make sense to have a similar version for unsigned integers since `checked_neg` also exists for those there is absolutely no case where that would be a good idea, IMQHO.
The longer-term goal here is to prepare the `unchecked_math` methods for an FCP and stabilisation since they've existed for a while, their semantics are clear, and people seem in favour of stabilising them.
memcpy assumptions: link to source showing that GCC makes the same assumption
I finally stumbled upon a source showing that GCC also generates overlapping `memcpy`. So if we're linking major C compilers making such assumptions here, let's have both clang and GCC.
Works around #115199 by temporarily disabling CFI for core and std CFI
violations to allow the user rebuild and use both core and std with CFI
enabled using the Cargo build-std feature.
It lints against features that are inteded to be internal to the
compiler and standard library. Implements MCP #596.
We allow `internal_features` in the standard library and compiler as those
use many features and this _is_ the standard library from the "internal to the compiler and
standard library" after all.
Marking some features as internal wasn't exactly the most scientific approach, I just marked some
mostly obvious features. While there is a categorization in the macro,
it's not very well upheld (should probably be fixed in another PR).
We always pass `-Ainternal_features` in the testsuite
About 400 UI tests and several other tests use internal features.
Instead of throwing the attribute on each one, just always allow them.
There's nothing wrong with testing internal features^^
`ascii::Char`-ify the escaping code in `core`
This means that `EscapeIterInner::as_str` no longer needs unsafe code, because the type system ensures the internal buffer is only ASCII, and thus valid UTF-8.
Come to think of it, this also gives it a (non-guaranteed) niche.

Add midpoint function for all integers and floating numbers
This pull-request adds the `midpoint` function to `{u,i}{8,16,32,64,128,size}`, `NonZeroU{8,16,32,64,size}` and `f{32,64}`.
This new function is analog to the [C++ midpoint](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/midpoint) function, and basically compute `(a + b) / 2` with a rounding towards ~~`a`~~ negative infinity in the case of integers. Or simply said: `midpoint(a, b)` is `(a + b) >> 1` as if it were performed in a sufficiently-large signed integral type.
Note that unlike the C++ function this pull-request does not implement this function on pointers (`*const T` or `*mut T`). This could be implemented in a future pull-request if desire.
### Implementation
For `f32` and `f64` the implementation in based on the `libcxx` [one](18ab892ff7/libcxx/include/__numeric/midpoint.h (L65-L77)). I originally tried many different approach but all of them failed or lead me with a poor version of the `libcxx`. Note that `libstdc++` has a very similar one; Microsoft STL implementation is also basically the same as `libcxx`. It unfortunately doesn't seems like a better way exist.
For unsigned integers I created the macro `midpoint_impl!`, this macro has two branches:
- The first one take `$SelfT` and is used when there is no unsigned integer with at least the double of bits. The code simply use this formula `a + (b - a) / 2` with the arguments in the correct order and signs to have the good rounding.
- The second branch is used when a `$WideT` (at least double of bits as `$SelfT`) is provided, using a wider number means that no overflow can occur, this greatly improve the codegen (no branch and less instructions).
For signed integers the code basically forwards the signed numbers to the unsigned version of midpoint by mapping the signed numbers to their unsigned numbers (`ex: i8 [-128; 127] to [0; 255]`) and vice versa.
I originally created a version that worked directly on the signed numbers but the code was "ugly" and not understandable. Despite this mapping "overhead" the codegen is better than my most optimized version on signed integers.
~~Note that in the case of unsigned numbers I tried to be smart and used `#[cfg(target_pointer_width = "64")]` to determine if using the wide version was better or not by looking at the assembly on godbolt. This was applied to `u32`, `u64` and `usize` and doesn't change the behavior only the assembly code generated.~~
This means that `EscapeIterInner::as_str` no longer needs unsafe code, because the type system ensures the internal buffer is only ASCII, and thus valid UTF-8.
