Add creation time support to `FileTimes` on apple and windows
Adds support for setting file creation times on platforms which support changing it directly (currently only Apple and Windows). Based on top of #110093 (which was split from this PR).

Update documentation wording on path 'try_exists' functions
Just eliminate the quadruple negation in `doesn't silently ignore errors unrelated to ... not existing.`
This documents the very surprising behaviour that `set_readonly(false)` will make a file *world writable* on Unix. I would go so far as to say that this function should be deprecated on Unix, or maybe even entirely. But documenting the bad behaviour is a good first step.
Add a `File::create_new` constructor
We have `File::create` for creating a file or opening an existing file,
but the secure way to guarantee creating a new file requires a longhand
invocation via `OpenOptions`.
Add `File::create_new` to handle this case, to make it easier for people
to do secure file creation.
Support setting file accessed/modified timestamps
Add `struct FileTimes` to contain the relevant file timestamps, since
most platforms require setting all of them at once. (This also allows
for future platform-specific extensions such as setting creation time.)
Add `File::set_file_time` to set the timestamps for a `File`.
Implement the `sys` backends for UNIX, macOS (which needs to fall back
to `futimes` before macOS 10.13 because it lacks `futimens`), Windows,
and WASI.

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`.
Remove `#[rustc_deprecated]`
This removes `#[rustc_deprecated]` and introduces diagnostics to help users to the right direction (that being `#[deprecated]`). All uses of `#[rustc_deprecated]` have been converted. CI is expected to fail initially; this requires #95958, which includes converting `stdarch`.
I plan on following up in a short while (maybe a bootstrap cycle?) removing the diagnostics, as they're only intended to be short-term.
remove_dir_all: use fallback implementation on Miri
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/1966
The new implementation requires `openat`, `unlinkat`, and `fdopendir`. These cannot easily be shimmed in Miri since libstd does not expose APIs corresponding to them. So for now it is probably easiest to just use the fallback code in Miri. Nobody should run Miri as root anyway...
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).
Use `NtCreateFile` instead of `NtOpenFile` to open a file
Generally the internal `Nt*` functions should be avoided but when we do need to use one we should stick to the most commonly used for the job. To that end, this PR replaces `NtOpenFile` with `NtCreateFile`.
NOTE: The initial version of this comment hypothesised that this may help with some recent false positives from malware scanners. This hypothesis proved wrong. Sorry for the distraction.
`File::options().read(true).open(...)` is equivalent to just
`File::open`. Change the example to set the `append` flag instead, and
then change the filename to something more likely to be written in
append mode.
Implement most of RFC 2930, providing the ReadBuf abstraction
This replaces the `Initializer` abstraction for permitting reading into uninitialized buffers, closing #42788.
This leaves several APIs described in the RFC out of scope for the initial implementation:
* read_buf_vectored
* `ReadBufs`
Closes#42788, by removing the relevant APIs.
