Create one canonical location which panics with "capacity overflow" instead of
having many. This reduces the size of a `panic!("{}", 1)` binary on wasm from
34k to 17k.
Deprecate offset_to; switch core&alloc to using offset_from instead
Bonus: might make code than uses `.len()` on slice iterators faster

Merge the std_unicode crate into the core crate
[The standard library facade](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27783) has historically contained a number of crates with different roles, but that number has decreased over time. `rand` and `libc` have moved to crates.io, and [`collections` was merged into `alloc`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42648). Today we have `core` that applies everywhere, `std` that expects a full operating system, and `alloc` in-between that only requires a memory allocator (which can be provided by users)… and `std_unicode`, which doesn’t really have a reason to be separate anymore. It contains functionality based on Unicode data tables that can be large, but as long as relevant functions are not called the tables should be removed from binaries by linkers.
This deprecates the unstable `std_unicode` crate and moves all of its contents into `core`, replacing them with `pub use` reexports. The crate can be removed later. This also removes the `CharExt` trait (replaced with inherent methods in libcore) and `UnicodeStr` trait (merged into `StrExt`). There traits were both unstable and not intended to be used or named directly.
A number of new items are newly-available in libcore and instantly stable there, but only if they were already stable in libstd.
Fixes#49319.
Use sort_by_cached_key where appropriate
A follow-up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48639, converting various slice sorting calls to `sort_by_cached_key` when the key functions are more expensive.

Add more vec![... ; n] optimizations
vec![0; n], via implementations of SpecFromElem, has an optimization that uses with_capacity_zeroed instead of with_capacity, which will use calloc instead of malloc, and avoid an extra memset.
This PR adds the same optimization for ptr::null, ptr::null_mut, and None, when their in-memory representation is zeroes.
Introduce Vec::resize_with method (see #41758)
In #41758, the libs team decided they preferred `Vec::resize_with` over `Vec::resize_default()`. Here is an implementation to get this moving forward.
I don't know what the removal process for `Vec::resize_default()` should be, so I've left it in place for now. Would be happy to follow up with its removal.
Add #[must_use] to a few standard library methods
Chosen to start a precedent of using it on ones that are potentially-expensive and where using it for side effects is particularly discouraged.
Discuss :)

94d1970bba87f2d2893f6e934e4c3f02ed50604d moved the alloc::allocator
module to core::heap, moving e.g. Alloc and Layout out of the alloc
crate. While alloc::heap reexports them, it's better to use them from
where they really come from.
