New zeroed slice
Add to #63291 the methods
```rust
impl<T> Box<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Box<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
impl<T> Rc<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Rc<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
impl<T> Arc<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Arc<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
```
as suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63291#issuecomment-605511675 .
Also optimize `{Rc, Arc}::new_zeroed` to use `alloc_zeroed`, otherwise they are no more efficient than using `new_uninit` and zeroing the memory manually (which was the original implementation).
Move to intra-doc links for library/core/src/alloc/{layout, global, mod}.rs
Helps with #75080. The files already contained intra-doc links, so there are only minor changes.
@rustbot modify labels: T-doc, A-intra-doc-links, T-rustdoc
Known issues:
* [`handle_alloc_error`]: Link from `core` to `alloc` could not be resolved.
* [`slice`]: slice is a primitive type, but could not be resolved; had to use [`crate::slice`] instead.

f32/f64::round
* Links from core to std:
[`std::pointer::*`]
[`std::process::abort`]
[`from_raw_parts`]
[`Vec::append`]
* Links with anchors?
I provided a separate commit that replaced links with anchors by intra-doc links.
Here the anchor location information gets lost, so its questionable whether to
actually replace those links.
enable align_to tests in Miri
With https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/1074 resolved, we can enable these tests in Miri.
I also tweaked the test sized to get reasonable execution times with decent test coverage.
clarify documentation of remove_dir errors
remove_dir will error if the path doesn't exist or isn't a directory.
It's useful to clarify that this is "remove dir or fail" not "remove dir
if it exists".
I don't think this belongs in the title. "Removes an existing, empty
directory" is strangely worded-- there's no such thing as a non-existing
directory. Better to just say explicitly it will return an error.
Use min_specialization in libcore
Getting `TrustedRandomAccess` to work is the main interesting thing here.
- `get_unchecked` is now an unstable, hidden method on `Iterator`
- The contract for `TrustedRandomAccess` is made clearer in documentation
- Fixed a bug where `Debug` would create aliasing references when using the specialized zip impl
- Added tests for the side effects of `next_back` and `nth`.

Move to intra-doc links for task.rs and vec.rs
Partial fix for #75080
links for [`get`], [`get_mut`] skipped due to #75643
link for [`copy_from_slice`] skipped due to #63351
Remove `#[cfg(miri)]` from OnceCell tests
They were carried over from once_cell crate, but they are not entirely
correct (as miri now supports more things), and we don't run miri
tests for std, so let's just remove them.
Maybe one day we'll run miri in std, but then we can just re-install
these attributes.
Move to intra doc links for std::io

I had no problems with those files so I added some small links here and there.
Improve codegen for `align_offset`
In this PR the `align_offset` implementation is changed/improved to produce better code in certain scenarios such as when pointer type is has a stride of 1 or when building for low optimisation levels.
While these changes do not achieve the "ideal" codegen referenced in #75579, it gets significantly closer to it. I’m not actually sure if the codegen can actually be much better with this function returning the offset, rather than the aligned pointer.
See the descriptions for separate commits for further information.

docs(marker/copy): provide example for `&T` being `Copy`
### Edited 2020-08-16 (most recent)
In the current documentation about the `Copy` marker trait, there is a section
with examples of structs that can implement `Copy`. Currently there is no example for
showing that shared references (`&T`) are also `Copy`.
It is worth to have a dedicated example for `&T` being `Copy`, because shared
references are an integral part of the language and it being `Copy` is not as
intuitive as other types that share this behaviour like `i32` or `bool`.
The example picks up on the previous non-`Copy` struct and shows that
structs can be `Copy`, even when they hold a shared reference to a non-`Copy` type.
-----------------------------------------
### Edited 2020-08-02, 3:28 p.m.
I've just realized that it says "in addition to the **implementors listed below**", which makes this PR kind of "wrong", because `&T` is indeed in the "implementors listed below".
Maybe we can instead show an example with `&T` in the [When can my type be Copy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Copy.html#when-can-my-type-be-copy) section.
What I really want to achieve is that it becomes more obvious that `&T` is also `Copy`, because, I think, it is very valuable to know and it wasn't obvious for me, until I read something about it in a forum post.
What do you think? I would create another PR for that.
**Please feel free to close this PR.**
-----------------------------------
### Original post
In the current documentation about the `Copy` marker trait, there is a section
about "additional implementors", which list additional implementors of the `Copy` trait.
The fact that shared references are also `Copy` is mixed with another point,
which makes it hard to recognize and make it seem not as important.
This clarifies the fact that shared references are also `Copy`, by mentioning it as a
separate item in the list of "additional implementors".
See also X-Link mem::{swap, take, replace}
Since it's easy to end up at one of these functions when you really wanted the other one, cross link them with descriptions of why you'd want to use them.
Don't panic in Vec::shrink_to_fit
We can help the compiler see that `Vec::shrink_to_fit` will never reach the panic case in `RawVec::shrink_to_fit`, just by guarding the call only for cases where the capacity is strictly greater. A capacity less than the length is only possible through an unsafe call to `set_len`, which would break the `Vec` invariants, so `shrink_to_fit` can just ignore that.
This removes the panicking code from the examples in both #71861 and #75636.
