Instead of towards negative infinity as is currently the case.
This done so that the obvious expectations of
`midpoint(a, b) == midpoint(b, a)` and
`midpoint(-a, -b) == -midpoint(a, b)` are true, which makes the even
more obvious implementation `(a + b) / 2` true.

Two improvements to the documentation:
- Document `-` as a valid character for signed integer destinations
- Make the documentation even more clear that extra whitespace and non-digit characters is invalid. Many other
languages, e.g. c++, are very permissive in string to integer routines and simply try to consume as much as they can,
ignoring the rest. This is trying to make the transition for developers who are used to the conversion semantics in
these languages a bit easier.
* Choose test inputs more thoroughly and systematically.
* Check that `isqrt` and `checked_isqrt` have equivalent results for
signed types, either equivalent numerically or equivalent as a panic
and a `None`.
* Check that `isqrt` has numerically-equivalent results for unsigned
types and their `NonZero` counterparts.
* Reuse `ilog10` benchmarks, plus benchmarks that use a uniform
distribution.
These functions are unstable, but because they're inherent they still
introduce conflicts with stable trait functions in crates. Temporarily
rename them to fix these conflicts, until we can resolve those conflicts
in a better way.
