Add test for `available_parallelism()`
This is a redo of [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104095).
I changed the location of the test as per comments in the original thread. Otherwise the test is practically the same.

Mark `u8::make_ascii_uppercase` and `u8::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
This PR extends #130697 by also marking the `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `u8` as const.
The `const_char_make_ascii` feature gate is additionally renamed to `const_make_ascii`.
Support `char::encode_utf16` in const scenarios.
Relevant tracking issue: #130660
The method `char::encode_utf16` should be marked "const" to allow compile-time conversions.
This PR additionally rewrites the `encode_utf16_raw` function for better readability whilst also reducing the amount of unsafe code.

Add str.as_str() for easy Deref to string slices
Working with `Box<str>` is cumbersome, because in places like `iter.filter()` it can end up being `&Box<str>` or even `&&Box<str>`, and such type doesn't always get auto-dereferenced as expected.
Dereferencing such box to `&str` requires ugly syntax like `&**boxed_str` or `&***boxed_str`, with the exact amount of `*`s.
`Box<str>` is [not easily comparable with other string types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129852) via `PartialEq`. `Box<str>` won't work for lookups in types like `HashSet<String>`, because `Borrow<String>` won't take types like `&Box<str>`. OTOH `set.contains(s.as_str())` works nicely regardless of levels of indirection.
`String` has a simple solution for this: the `as_str()` method, and `Box<str>` should too.
Mark `char::make_ascii_uppercase` and `char::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
The `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `char` should be marked "const."
With the stabilisation of [`const_mut_refs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57349/), this simply requires adding the `const` specifier to the function signatures.
ABI compatibility: mention Result guarantee
This has been already documented in https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/index.html#representation, but for `Option` we mirrored those docs in the "ABI compatibility" section, so let's do the same here.

Avoid re-validating UTF-8 in `FromUtf8Error::into_utf8_lossy`
Part of the unstable feature `string_from_utf8_lossy_owned` - #129436
Refactor `FromUtf8Error::into_utf8_lossy` to copy valid UTF-8 bytes into the buffer, avoiding double validation of bytes.
Add tests that mirror the `String::from_utf8_lossy` tests.

Address diagnostics regression for `const_char_encode_utf8`.
Relevant tracking issue: #130512
This PR regains full diagnostics for non-const calls to `char::encode_utf8`.
Remove macOS 10.10 dynamic linker bug workaround
Rust's current minimum macOS version is 10.12, so the hack can be removed. This PR also updates the `remove_dir_all` docs to reflect that all supported macOS versions are protected against TOCTOU race conditions (the fallback implementation was already removed in #127683).
