fix __rust_alloc_error_handler comment
`__rust_alloc_error_handler` was added in the same `extern` block as the allocator functions, but the comment there was not actually correct for `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. So move it down to the rest of the default allocator handling with a fixed comment. At least the comment reflects my understanding of what happens, please check carefully. :)

Link to documentation-specific guidelines.
Changed contribution information URL because it's not obvious how to get from the current URL to the documentation-specific content.
The current URL points to this "Getting Started" page, which contains nothing specific about documentation[*] and instead launches into how to *build* `rustc` which is not a strict prerequisite for contributing documentation fixes:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html
[*] The most specific content is a "Writing documentation" bullet point which is not itself a link to anything (I guess a patch for that might be helpful too).
### Why?
Making this change will make it easier for people who wish to make small "drive by" documentation fixes (and read contribution guidelines ;) ) which I find are often how I start contributing to a project. (Exhibit A: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77050 :) )
### Background
My impression is the change of content linked is an unintentional change due to a couple of other changes:
* Originally, the link pointed to `contributing.md` which started with a "table of contents" linking to each section. But the content in `contributing.md` was removed and replaced with a link to the "Getting Started" section here:
* 3f6928f1f6 (diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13L1)
But the changed link doesn't actually point to the equivalent content, which is now located here:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/contributing.html
(If the "Guide to Rustc Development" is now considered the canonical location of "How to Contribute" content it might be a good idea to merge some of the "Contributing" Introduction section into the "Getting Started" section.)
* This was then compounded by changing the link from `contributing.md` to `contributing.html` here:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74037/files#diff-242481015141f373dcb178e93cffa850L88
In order to even find the new location of the previous `contributing.md` content I ended up needing to do a GitHub search of the `rust-lang` org for the phrase "Documentation improvements are very welcome". :D
Fix error checking in posix_spawn implementation of Command
* Check for errors returned from posix_spawn*_init functions
* Check for non-zero return value from posix_spawn functions
A few architectures in `os::linux::raw` import `libc::stat`, rather than
defining that type directly. However, that also imports the _function_
called `stat`, which makes this doc link ambiguous:
error: `crate::os::linux::raw::stat` is both a struct and a function
--> library/std/src/os/linux/fs.rs:21:19
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: crate::os::linux::raw::stat
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ambiguous link
|
= note: `-D broken-intra-doc-links` implied by `-D warnings`
help: to link to the struct, prefix with the item type
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: struct@crate::os::linux::raw::stat
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
help: to link to the function, add parentheses
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: crate::os::linux::raw::stat()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We want the `struct`, so it's now prefixed accordingly.
`DirEntry` contains a `ReadDir` handle, which used to just be a wrapper
on `Arc<InnerReadDir>`. Commit af75314ecdbc5 added `end_of_stream: bool`
which is not needed by `DirEntry`, but adds 8 bytes after padding. We
can let `DirEntry` have an `Arc<InnerReadDir>` directly to avoid that.
The posix_spawnattr_init & posix_spawn_file_actions_init might fail,
but their return code is not checked.
Check for non-zero return code and destroy only succesfully initialized
objects.
The cvt function compares the argument with -1 and when equal returns a new
io::Error constructed from errno. It is used together posix_spawn_* functions.
This is incorrect. Those functions do not set errno. Instead they return
non-zero error code directly.
Check for non-zero return code and use it to construct a new io::Error.
(docs): make mutex error comment consistent with codebase
Although exceptionally minor, I found this stands out from other error reporting language used in doc comments. With the existence of the `failure` crate, I suppose this could be slightly ambiguous. In any case, this change brings the particular comment into a consistent state with other mentions of returning errors.
BTreeMap: comment why drain_filter's size_hint is somewhat pessimistic
The `size_hint` of the `DrainFilter` iterator doesn't adjust as you iterate. This hardly seems important to me, but there has been a comparable PR #64383 in the past. I guess a scenario is that you first iterate half the map manually and keep most of the key/value pairs in the map, and then tell the predicate to drain most of the key/value pairs and `.collect` the iterator over the remaining half of the map.
I am totally ambivalent whether this is better or not.

Give `impl Trait` in a `const fn` its own feature gate
...previously it was gated under `#![feature(const_fn)]`.
I think we actually want to do this in all const-contexts? If so, this should be `#![feature(const_impl_trait)]` instead. I don't think there's any way to make use of `impl Trait` within a `const` initializer.

Eliminate bounds checking in slice::Windows
This is how `<core::slice::Windows as Iterator>::next` looks right now:
```rust
fn next(&mut self) -> Option<&'a [T]> {
if self.size > self.v.len() {
None
} else {
let ret = Some(&self.v[..self.size]);
self.v = &self.v[1..];
ret
}
}
```
The line with `self.v = &self.v[1..];` relies on assumption that `self.v` is definitely not empty at this point. Else branch is taken when `self.size <= self.v.len()`, so `self.v` can be empty if `self.size` is zero. In practice, since `Windows` is never created directly but rather trough `[T]::windows` which panics when `size` is zero, `self.size` is never zero. However, the compiler doesn't know about this check, so it keeps the code which checks bounds and panics.
Using `NonZeroUsize` lets the compiler know about this invariant and reliably eliminate bounds checking without `unsafe` on `-O2`. Here is assembly of `Windows<'a, u32>::next` before and after this change ([goldbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/xrefzx)):

Note the lack of call to `core::slice::slice_index_order_fail` in second snippet.
#### Possible reasons _not_ to merge this PR:
* this changes the error message on panic in `[T]::windows`. However, AFAIK this messages are not covered by backwards compatibility policy.
