Make `<[T]>::split_at_unchecked` and `<[T]>::split_at_mut_unchecked` public
The methods were originally added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75936 (30dc32b10e), but for some reason as private. Nevertheless, the methods have documentation and even a [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76014).
It's very weird to have a tracking issue for private methods and these methods may be useful outside of the standard library. As such, this PR makes the methods public.
Use bitand when checking for signed integer division overflow
For `self == Self::MIN && rhs == -1`, LLVM does not realize that this is the same check made by `self / rhs`, so the code generated may have some unnecessary duplication. For `(self == Self::MIN) & (rhs == -1)`, LLVM realizes it is the same check.
Optimize unnecessary check in Vec::retain
The function `vec::Vec::retain` only have two stages:
1. Nothing was deleted.
2. Some elements were deleted.
Here is an unnecessary check `if g.deleted_cnt > 0` in the loop, and it's difficult for compiler to optimize it. I split the loop into two stages manully and keep the code clean using const generics.
I write a special but common bench case for this optimization. I call retain on vec but keep all elements.
Before and after this optimization:
```
test vec::bench_retain_whole_100000 ... bench: 84,803 ns/iter (+/- 17,314)
```
```
test vec::bench_retain_whole_100000 ... bench: 42,638 ns/iter (+/- 16,910)
```
The result is expected, there are two `if`s before the optimization and one `if` after.
Make diangostic item naming consistent
Right now there is about a 50/50 split of naming diagnostic items as `vec_type` vs `Vec`. So it is hard to guess a diagnostic item name with confidence. I know it's not great to change these retroactively, but I think it will be much easier to maintain consistency after consistency is established.
Make *const (), *mut () okay for FFI
Pointer-to-() is used occasionally in the standard library to mean "pointer to none-of-your-business". Examples:
- `RawWakerVTable::new` https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.51.0/std/task/struct.RawWakerVTable.html#method.new
- `<*const T>::to_raw_parts` https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.to_raw_parts
I believe it's useful for the same purpose in FFI signatures, even while `()` itself is not FFI safe. The following should be allowed:
```rust
extern "C" {
fn demo(pc: *const (), pm: *mut ());
}
```
Prior to this PR, those pointers were not considered okay for an extern signature.
```console
warning: `extern` block uses type `()`, which is not FFI-safe
--> src/main.rs:2:17
|
2 | fn demo(pc: *const (), pm: *mut ());
| ^^^^^^^^^ not FFI-safe
|
= note: `#[warn(improper_ctypes)]` on by default
= help: consider using a struct instead
= note: tuples have unspecified layout

2 | fn demo(pc: *const (), pm: *mut ());
| ^^^^^^^ not FFI-safe

= help: consider using a struct instead

```
They've barely been updated since this version of `rustdoc` (originally
called `rustdoc_ng`) was checked into the tree!
Note that the formatting of a couple `Type` variants changed; rustfmt
seems to change formatting based on whether all variants have docs.
On NixOS systems, bootstrap will patch rustc used in bootstrapping after
checking `/etc/os-release` (to confirm the current distribution is NixOS).
However, when using Nix on a non-NixOS system, it can be desirable for
bootstrap to patch rustc. In this commit, a `patch-binaries-for-nix`
option is added to `config.toml`, which allows for user opt-in to
bootstrap's Nix patching.

On MinGW toolchains the various features (such as function sections)
necessary to eliminate dead function references are disabled due to
various bugs. This means that the windows sockets library will most
likely remain linked to any mingw toolchain built program that also
utilizes libstd.
That said, I made an attempt to also enable `function-sections` and
`--gc-sections` during my experiments, but the symbol references
remained, sadly.
