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 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.

Add #[must_use] to remaining core functions
I've run out of compelling reasons to group functions together across crates so I'm just going to go module-by-module. This is everything remaining from the `core` crate.
Ignored by clippy for reasons unknown:
```rust
core::alloc::Layout unsafe fn for_value_raw<T: ?Sized>(t: *const T) -> Self;
core::any const fn type_name_of_val<T: ?Sized>(_val: &T) -> &'static str;
```
Ignored by clippy because of `mut`:
```rust
str fn split_at_mut(&mut self, mid: usize) -> (&mut str, &mut str);
```
<del>
Ignored by clippy presumably because a caller might want `f` called for side effects. That seems like a bad usage of `map` to me.
```rust
core::cell::Ref<'b, T> fn map<U: ?Sized, F>(orig: Ref<'b, T>, f: F) -> Ref<'b, T>;
core::cell::Ref<'b, T> fn map_split<U: ?Sized, V: ?Sized, F>(orig: Ref<'b, T>, f: F) -> (Ref<'b, U>, Ref<'b, V>);
```
</del>

Previously, converting `&mut [T; N]` to `&[Cell<T>; N]` looks like this:
let array = &mut [1, 2, 3];
let cells: &[Cell<i32>; 3] = Cell::from_mut(&mut array[..])
.as_slice_of_cells()
.try_into()
.unwrap();
With this new helper method, it looks like this:
let array = &mut [1, 2, 3];
let cells: &[Cell<i32>; 3] = Cell::from_mut(array).as_array_of_cells();
Due to the std/alloc split, it is not possible to make
`alloc::collections::TryReserveError::AllocError` non-exhaustive without
having an unstable, doc-hidden method to construct (which negates the
benefits from `#[non_exhaustive]`.
UnsafeCell is the standard building block for shared mutable data
structures. UnsafeCell should add zero overhead compared to using raw
pointers directly.
Some reports suggest that debug builds, or even builds at opt-level 1,
may not always be inlining its methods. Mark the methods as
`#[inline(always)]`, since once inlined the methods should result in no
actual code other than field accesses.

for some background discussion
This PR adds a new off-by-default feature `debug-refcell` to libcore.
When enabled, this feature stores additional debugging information in
`RefCell`. This information is included in the panic message when
`borrow()` or `borrow_mut()` panics, to make it easier to track down the
source of the issue.
Currently, we store the caller location for the earliest active borrow.
This has a number of advantages:
* There is only a constant amount of overhead per `RefCell`
* We don't need any heap memory, so it can easily be implemented in core
* Since we are storing the *earliest* active borrow, we don't need any
extra logic in the `Drop` implementation for `Ref` and `RefMut`
Limitations:
* We only store the caller location, not a full `Backtrace`. Until
we get support for `Backtrace` in libcore, this is the best tha we can
do.
* The captured location is only displayed when `borrow()` or
`borrow_mut()` panics. If a crate calls `try_borrow().unwrap()`
or `try_borrow_mut().unwrap()`, this extra information will be lost.
To make testing easier, I've enabled the `debug-refcell` feature by
default. I'm not sure how to write a test for this feature - we would
need to rebuild core from the test framework, and create a separate
sysroot.
Since this feature will be off-by-default, users will need to use
`xargo` or `cargo -Z build-std` to enable this feature. For users using
a prebuilt standard library, this feature will be disabled with zero
overhead.
I've created a simple test program:
```rust
use std::cell::RefCell;
fn main() {
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| {
let val = RefCell::new(true);
let _first = val.borrow();
let _second = val.borrow();
let _third = val.borrow_mut();
});
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| {
let val = RefCell::new(true);
let first = val.borrow_mut();
drop(first);
let _second = val.borrow_mut();
let _thid = val.borrow();
});
}
```
which produces the following output:
```
thread 'main' panicked at 'already borrowed: BorrowMutError { location: Location { file: "refcell_test.rs", line: 6, col: 26 } }', refcell_test.rs:8:26
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
thread 'main' panicked at 'already mutably borrowed: BorrowError { location: Location { file: "refcell_test.rs", line: 16, col: 27 } }', refcell_test.rs:18:25
```
