Rollup merge of #82676 - dtolnay:powers, r=Mark-Simulacrum

Change twice used large const table to static

This table is used twice in core::num::dec2flt::algorithm::power_of_ten. According to the semantics of const, a separate huge definition of the table is inlined at both places.

5233edcf1c/library/core/src/num/dec2flt/algorithm.rs (L16-L22)

Theoretically this gets cleaned up by optimization passes, but in practice I am experiencing a miscompile from LTO on this code. Making the table a static, which would only be defined a single time and not require attention from LTO, eliminates the miscompile and seems semantically more appropriate anyway. A separate bug report on the LTO bug is forthcoming.

Original addition of `const` is from #27307.
