intrinsics::simd: add missing functions, avoid UB-triggering fast-math
Turns out stdarch declares a bunch more SIMD intrinsics that are still missing from libcore.
I hope I got the docs and in particular the safety requirements right for these "unordered" and "nanless" intrinsics.
Many of these are unused even in stdarch, but they are implemented in the codegen backend, so we may as well list them here.

Add "algebraic" fast-math intrinsics, based on fast-math ops that cannot return poison
Setting all of LLVM's fast-math flags makes our fast-math intrinsics very dangerous, because some inputs are UB. This set of flags permits common algebraic transformations, but according to the [LangRef](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fastmath), only the flags `nnan` (no nans) and `ninf` (no infs) can produce poison.
And this uses the algebraic float ops to fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120720

Refactor trait implementations in `core::convert::num`.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120257
Implement conversion traits using generic `NonZero` type, and refactor all macros to use a consistent format/order of parameters.

Always inline check in `assert_unsafe_precondition` with cfg(debug_assertions)
The current complexities in `assert_unsafe_precondition` are delicately balancing several concerns, among them compile times for the cases where there are no debug assertions. This comes at a large runtime cost when the assertions are enabled, making the debug assertion compiler a lot slower, which is very annoying.
To avoid this, we always inline the check when building with debug assertions.
Numbers (compiling stage1 library after touching core):
- master: 80s
- just adding `#[inline(always)]` to the `cfg(bootstrap)` `debug_assertions` (equivalent to a bootstrap bump (uhh, i just realized that i was on a slightly outdated master so this bump might have happened already), (#121112)): 67s
- this: 54s
So this seems like a good solution. I think we can still get the same run-time perf improvements for other users too by massaging this code further (see my other PR about adding `#[rustc_no_mir_inline]` #121114) but this is a simpler step that solves the imminent problem of "holy shit my rustc is sooo slow".
Funny consequence: This now means compiling the standard library with dbeug assertions makes it faster (than without, when using debug assertions downstream)!

Use intrinsics::debug_assertions in debug_assert_nounwind
This is the first item in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120848.
Based on the benchmarking in this PR, it looks like, for the programs in our benchmark suite, enabling all these additional checks does not introduce significant compile-time overhead, with the single exception of `Alignment::new_unchecked`. Therefore, I've added `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` to that one call site, so that it remains compiled out in the distributed standard library.
The trailing commas in the previous calls to `debug_assert_nounwind!` were causing the macro to expand to `panic_nouwnind_fmt`, which requires more work to set up its arguments, and that overhead alone is measured between this perf run and the next: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120863#issuecomment-1937423502
This change was prompted by the stage1 compiler spending 4% of its time
when compiling the polymorphic-recursion MIR opt test in `unlikely`.
Intrinsic fallback bodies like `unlikely` should always be inlined, it's
very silly if they are not. To do this, we enable the fallback bodies to
be cross-crate inlineable. Not that this matters for our workloads since
the compiler never actually _uses_ the "fallback bodies", it just uses
whatever was cfg(bootstrap)ped, so I've also added `#[inline]` to those.

Store core::str::CharSearcher::utf8_size as u8
This is already relied on being smaller than u8 due to the `safety invariant: utf8_size must be less than 5`, so this helps LLVM optimize and maybe improve copies due to padding instead of unused bytes.
Add examples to document the return type of quickselect functions
Currently, `select_nth_unstable`, `select_nth_unstable_by`, and `select_nth_unstable_by_key`'s examples do not show how to use the return values of the functions in an example, so this PR adds that in.
Note: I didn't know what to call the parameters, so I settled on lesser, median, greater because the example is used for median finding so I retained that naming for the pivot, but lesser and greater are poor names for the example that sorts in descending order, because lesser and greater are then flipped.
I think it's common to say "lo" and "hi" for low and high respectively, but that's also not great when the comparator flips the elements. Otherwise, "left" and "right" are also commonly used but I think that's poor naming because some languages read right to left so those names are also unintuitive.
Lesser and greater are also not that great but I found a test that used `less`, `equal`, `greater` so I took that: dfa88b328f/library/core/tests/slice.rs (L1962)
Make `io::BorrowedCursor::advance` safe
This also keeps the old `advance` method under `advance_unchecked` name.
This makes pattern like `std::io::default_read_buf` safe to write.
