## Stabilizaton Report

### Summary

Using `const extern "Rust"` and `const extern "C"` was already stabilized (since version 1.62.0, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95346). This PR stabilizes the other calling conventions: it is now possible to write  `const unsafe extern "calling-convention" fn` and `const extern "calling-convention" fn` for any supported calling convention:

```rust
const extern "C-unwind" fn foo1(val: u8) -> u8 { val + 1}
const extern "stdcall" fn foo2(val: u8) -> u8 { val + 1}
const unsafe extern "C-unwind" fn bar1(val: bool) -> bool { !val }
const unsafe extern "stdcall" fn bar2(val: bool) -> bool { !val }
```

This can be used to const-ify an `extern fn`, or conversely, to make a `const fn` callable from external code.
