There was a problem with storing a `Box<T>` in a struct, where
the current rules would invalidate the value. this makes it store
a raw pointer instead, circumventing the aliasing problems.
It's simply a binary thing to allow different behaviour for `Copy` vs
`!Copy` types. The new code makes this much clearer; I was scratching my
head over the old code for some time.
Because it's always `'tcx`. In fact, some of them use a mixture of
passed-in `$tcx` and hard-coded `'tcx`, so no other lifetime would even
work.
This makes the code easier to read.
Most arena-allocate types that impl `Drop` get their own `TypedArena`, but a
few infrequently used ones share a `DropArena`. This sharing adds complexity
but doesn't help performance or memory usage. Perhaps it was more effective in
the past prior to some other improvements to arenas.
This commit removes `DropArena` and the sharing of arenas via the `few`
attribute of the `arena_types` macro. This change removes over 100 lines of
code and nine uses of `unsafe` (one of which affects the parallel compiler) and
makes the remaining code easier to read.

Dubious changes:
- Is anyone else using rustc_apfloat? I feel weird completely deleting
x87 support.
- Maybe some of the dead code in rustc_data_structures, in case someone
wants to use it in the future?
- Don't change rustc_serialize
I plan to scrap most of the json module in the near future (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/418) and fixing the
tests needed more work than I expected.
TODO: check if any of the comments on the deleted code should be kept.
This pulls in rust-lang/rustc-rayon#8 to fix#81425. (h/t @ammaraskar)
That revealed weak constraints on `rustc_arena::DropArena`, because its
`DropType` was holding type-erased raw pointers to generic `T`. We can
implement `Send` for `DropType` (under `cfg(parallel_compiler)`) by
requiring all `T: Send` before they're type-erased.
Stabilize by-value `[T; N]` iterator `core::array::IntoIter`
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65798
This is unblocked now that `min_const_generics` has been stabilized in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79135.
This PR does *not* include the corresponding `IntoIterator` impl, which is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65819. Instead, an iterator can be constructed through the `new` method.
`new` would become unnecessary when `IntoIterator` is implemented and might be deprecated then, although it will stay stable.

Remove redundant nightly features
Removes a bunch of redundant/outdated nightly features. The first commit removes a `core_intrinsics` use for which a stable wrapper has been provided since. The second commit replaces the `const_generics` feature with `min_const_generics` which might get stabilized this year. The third commit is the result of a trial/error run of removing every single feature and then adding it back if compile failed. A bunch of unused features are the result that the third commit removes.
