Remove std::io::lazy::Lazy in favour of SyncOnceCell
The (internal) std::io::lazy::Lazy was used to lazily initialize the stdout and stdin buffers (and mutexes). It uses atexit() to register a destructor to flush the streams on exit, and mark the streams as 'closed'. Using the stream afterwards would result in a panic.
Stdout uses a LineWriter which contains a BufWriter that will flush the buffer on drop. This one is important to be executed during shutdown, to make sure no buffered output is lost. It also forbids access to stdout afterwards, since the buffer is already flushed and gone.
Stdin uses a BufReader, which does not implement Drop. It simply forgets any previously read data that was not read from the buffer yet. This means that in the case of stdin, the atexit() function's only effect is making stdin inaccessible to the program, such that later accesses result in a panic. This is uncessary, as it'd have been safe to access stdin during shutdown of the program.
---
This change removes the entire io::lazy module in favour of SyncOnceCell. SyncOnceCell's fast path is much faster (a single atomic operation) than locking a sys_common::Mutex on every access like Lazy did.
However, SyncOnceCell does not use atexit() to drop the contained object during shutdown.
As noted above, this is not a problem for stdin. It simply means stdin is now usable during shutdown.
The atexit() call for stdout is moved to the stdio module. Unlike the now-removed Lazy struct, SyncOnceCell does not have a 'gone and unusable' state that panics. Instead of adding this again, this simply replaces the buffer with one with zero capacity. This effectively flushes the old buffer *and* makes any writes afterwards pass through directly without touching a buffer, making print!() available during shutdown without panicking.
---
In addition, because the contents of the SyncOnceCell are no longer dropped, we can now use `&'static` instead of `Arc` in `Stdout` and `Stdin`. This also saves two levels of indirection in `stdin()` and `stdout()`, since Lazy effectively stored a `Box<Arc<T>>`, and SyncOnceCell stores the `T` directly.
Add `#![feature(const_fn_floating_point_arithmetic)]`
cc #76618
This is a template for splitting up `const_fn` into granular feature gates. I think this will make it easier, both for us and for users, to track stabilization of each individual feature. We don't *have* to do this, however. We could also keep stabilizing things out from under `const_fn`.

Relax promises about condition variable.
For quite a while now, there have been plans to at some point use parking_lot or some other more efficient implementation of mutexes and condition variables. Right now, Mutex and CondVar both Box the 'real' mutex/condvar inside, to give it a stable address. This was done because implementations like pthread and Windows critical sections may not be moved. More efficient implementations based on futexes, WaitOnAddress, Windows SRW locks, parking_lot, etc. may be moved (while not borrowed), so wouldn't need boxing.
However, not boxing them (which would be great goal to achieve), breaks a promise std currently makes about CondVar. CondVar promises to panic when used with different mutexes, to ensure consistent behaviour on all platforms. To this check, a mutex is considered 'the same' if the address of the 'real mutex' in the Box is the same. This address doesn't change when moving a `std::mutex::Mutex` object, effectively giving it an identity that survives moves of the Mutex object. If we ever switch to a non-boxed version, they no longer carry such an identity, and this check can no longer be made.
Four options:
1. Always box mutexes.
2. Add a `MutexId` similar to `ThreadId`. Making mutexes bigger, and making it hard to ever have a `const fn new` for them.
3. Making the requirement of CondVar stricter: panic if the Mutex object itself moved.
4. Making the promise of CondVar weaker: don't promise to panic.
1, 2, and 3 seem like bad options. This PR updates the documentation for 4.
Make delegation methods of `std::net::IpAddr` unstably const
Make the following methods of `std::net::IpAddr` unstable const under the `const_ip` feature:
- `is_unspecified`
- `is_loopback`
- `is_global`
- `is_multicast`
Also adds a test for these methods in a const context.
Possible because these methods delegate to the inner `Ipv4Addr` or `Ipv6Addr`, which were made const ([PR#76205](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76142) and [PR#76206](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76206)), and the recent stabilization of const control flow.

Function to convert OpenOptions to c_int
Fixes: #74943
The creation_mode and access_mode function were already available in the OpenOptions struct, but currently private. I've added a new free functions to unix/fs.rs which takes the OpenOptions, and returns the c_int to be used as parameter for the `open` call.
Remove duplicated library links between std and libc
The libc crate is already responsible for linking in the appropriate
libraries, and std doing the same thing results in duplicated library
names on the linker command line. Removing this duplication slightly
reduces linker time, and makes it simpler to adjust the set or order of
linked libraries in one place (such as to add static linking support).
Add non-`unsafe` `.get_mut()` for `Unsafecell`
- Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76943
As discussed in: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-non-unsafe-get-mut-for-unsafecell/12407
- ### [Rendered documentation](https://modest-dubinsky-1f9f47.netlify.app/core/cell/struct.unsafecell)
This PR tries to move the sound `&mut UnsafeCell<T> -> &mut T` projection that all the "downstream" constructions were already relying on, up to the root abstraction, where it rightfully belongs, and officially blessing it.
- this **helps reduce the amount of `unsafe` snippets out there** (_c.f._, the second commit of this PR: 09503fd1b3)
The fact that this getter is now expose for `UnsafeCell<T>` itself, will also help convey the idea that **`UnsafeCell` is not magical _w.r.t._ `&mut` accesses**, contrary to what some people incorrectly think.
- Even the standard library itself at some point had such a confusion, _c.f._ this comment where there is a mention of multi-threaded (and thus _shared_) access despite dealing with exclusive references over unique ownership: 59fb88d061/library/core/src/cell.rs (L498-L499)
