Add `core::stream::from_iter`
_Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81798_
This_ PR implements `std::stream::from_iter`, as outlined in the _"Converting an Iterator to a Stream"_ section of the [Stream RFC](https://github.com/nellshamrell/rfcs/blob/add-async-stream-rfc/text/0000-async-stream.md#converting-an-iterator-to-a-stream). This function enables converting an `Iterator` to a `Stream` by wrapping each item in the iterator with a `Poll::Ready` instance.

## Example
Being able to convert from an iterator into a stream is useful when refactoring from iterative loops into a more functional adapter-based style. This is fairly common when using more complex `filter` / `map` / `find` chains. In its basic form this conversion looks like this:
**before**
```rust
let mut output = vec![];
for item in my_vec {
let out = do_io(item).await?;
output.push(out);
}
```
**after**
```rust
use std::stream;
let output = stream::from_iter(my_vec.iter())
.map(async |item| do_io(item).await)
.collect()?;
```
Having a way to convert an `Iterator` to a `Stream` is essential in enabling this flow.
## Implementation Notes
This PR makes use of `unsafe {}` to pin an item. Currently we're having conversations on the libs stream in Zulip how to bring `pin-project` in as a dependency to `core` so we can omit the `unsafe {}`.
This PR also includes a documentation block which references `Stream::next` which currently doesn't exist in the stdlib (originally included in the RFC and PR, but later omitted because of an unresolved issue). `stream::from_iter` can't stabilize before `Stream` does, and there's still a chance we may stabilize `Stream` with a `next` method. So this PR includes documentation referencing that method, which we can remove as part of stabilization if by any chance we don't have `Stream::next`.
## Alternatives Considered
### `impl IntoStream for T: IntoIterator`
An obvious question would be whether we could make it so every iterator can automatically be converted into a stream by calling `into_stream` on it. The answer is: "perhaps, but it could cause type issues". Types like `std::collections` may want to opt to create manual implementations for `IntoStream` and `IntoIter`, which wouldn't be possible if it was implemented through a catch-all trait.
Possibly an alternative such as `impl IntoStream for T: Iterator` could work, but it feels somewhat restrictive. In the end, converting an iterator to a stream is likely to be a bit of a niche case. And even then, **adding a standalone function to convert an `Iterator` into a `Stream` would not be mutually exclusive with a blanket implementation**.
### Naming
The exact name can be debated in the period before stabilization. But I've chosen `stream::from_iter` rather than `stream::iter` because we are _creating a stream from an iterator_ rather than _iterating a stream_. We also expect to add a stream counterpart to `iter::from_fn` later on (blocked on async closures), and having `stream::from_fn` and `stream::from_iter` would feel like a consistent pair. It also has prior art in `async_std::stream::from_iter`.
## Future Directions
### Stream conversions for collections
This is a building block towards implementing `stream/stream_mut/into_stream` methods for `std::collections`, `std::vec`, and more. This would allow even quicker refactorings from using loops to using iterator adapters by omitting the import altogether:
**before**
```rust
use std::stream;
let output = stream::from_iter(my_vec.iter())
.map(async |item| do_io(item).await)
.collect()?;
```
**after**
```rust
let output = my_vec
.stream()
.map(async |item| do_io(item).await)
.collect()?;
```
Add missing "allocated object" doc link to `<*mut T>::add`
The portion of the documentation expecting the link was already there, but it was rendered as "[allocated object]". The added reference is just copied from the documentation for `<*const T>::add`.
rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information for contributors, we may as well
remove it from crates in this repo.
Partially stabilize `const_slice_first_last`
This stabilizes the non-`mut` methods of `const_slice_first_last` as `const`. These methods are trivial to implement and have no blockers that I am aware of.

Move UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe to core
They were previously only available in std::panic, not core::panic.

- https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.51.0/std/panic/trait.RefUnwindSafe.html
- https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.51.0/std/panic/struct.AssertUnwindSafe.html
Where this is relevant: trait objects! Inside a `#![no_std]` library it's otherwise impossible to have a struct holding a trait object, and at the same time can be used from downstream std crates in a way that doesn't interfere with catch_unwind.
```rust
// common library
#![no_std]
pub struct Thing {
pub(crate) x: &'static (dyn SomeTrait + Send + Sync),
}
pub(crate) trait SomeTrait {...}
```
```rust
// downstream application
fn main() {
let thing: library::Thing = ...;
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| { let _ = thing; }); // does not work :(
}
```
See a4131708e2/src/gradient.rs (L7-L15) for a real life example of needing to work around this problem. In particular that workaround would not even be viable if implementors of the trait were provided externally by a caller, as the `feature = "std"` would become non-additive in that case.
What happens without the UnwindSafe constraints:
```rust
fn main() {
let gradient = colorous::VIRIDIS;
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| { let _ = gradient; });
}
```

Implement advance_by, advance_back_by for slice::{Iter, IterMut}
Part of #77404.
Picking up where #77633 was closed.
I have addressed https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77633#issuecomment-771842599 by restoring `nth` and `nth_back`. So according to that comment this should already be r=m-ou-se, but it has been sitting for a while.
Add docs about performance and `Iterator::map` to `[T; N]::map`
This suboptimal code gen for some usages of array::map got a bit of
attention by multiple people throughout the community. Some cases:
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75243#issuecomment-866051086
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75243#issuecomment-874732134
- https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/oeqqf7/unexpected_high_stack_usage/
My *guess* is that this gets the attention it gets because in JavaScript
(and potentially other languages), a `map` function on arrays is very
commonly used since in those languages, arrays basically take the role
of Rust's iterator. I considered explicitly naming JavaScript in the
first paragraph I added, but I couldn't find precedence of mentioning
other languages in standard library doc, so I didn't add it.
When array::map was stabilized, we still wanted to add docs, but that
somehow did not happen in time. So here we are. Not sure if this sounds
crazy but maybe it is worth considering beta backporting this? Only if
it's not a lot of work, of course! But yeah, stabilized array::map is
already in beta and if this problem is really as big as it sometimes seems,
might be worth having the docs in place when 1.55 is released.

Optimize fmt::PadAdapter::wrap
After adding the first `write!` usage to my project and printing the result to the console, I noticed, that my binary contains the strings "called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value`" and more importantly "C:\Users\Patrick Fischer\.rustup\toolchains\nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib\rustlib\src\rust\library\core\src\fmt\builders.rs", with my release build being configured as follows:
```
[profile.release]
panic = "abort"
codegen-units = 1
strip = "symbols" # the important bit
lto = true
```
I am in a no_std environment and my custom panic handler is a simple `loop {}`. I did not expect the above information to be preserved. I heavily suspect the edited function to be the culprit. It contains the only direct use of `Option::unwrap` in the entire file and I tracked the symbols in the assembly to be used from the section `_ZN68_$LT$core..fmt..builders..PadAdapter$u20$as$u20$core..fmt..Write$GT$9write_str17ha1d5e5efe167202aE`.
Aside from me suspecting this function to be the culprit, the replaced code performs the same operation as `Option::insert`, but without the `unreachable_unchecked` optimization `Option::insert` provides. Therefore, it makes sense to me to use the more optimized version, instead.
As I don't change any semantics, I hope a simple pull request suffices.
Fix may not to appropriate might not or must not
I went through and changed occurrences of `may not` to be more explicit with `might not` and `must not`.
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
Add #[track_caller] for some function in core::mem.
These functions can panic for some types. This makes the panic point to the code that calls e.g. mem::uninitialized(), instead of inside the definition of mem::uninitialized.
Make const panic!("..") work in Rust 2021.
During const eval, this replaces calls to core::panicking::panic_fmt and std::panicking::being_panic_fmt with a call to a new const fn: core::panicking::const_panic_fmt. That function uses fmt::Arguments::as_str() to get the str and calls panic_str with that instead.
panic!() invocations with formatting arguments are still not accepted, as the creation of such a fmt::Arguments cannot be done in constant functions right now.

Remove unsound TrustedRandomAccess implementations
Removes the implementations that depend on the user-definable trait `Copy`.
Fixes#85873 in the most straightforward way.
<hr>
_Edit:_ This PR now contains additional trait infrastructure to avoid performance regressions around in-place collect, see the discussion in this thread starting from the codegen test failure at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85874#issuecomment-872327577.
With this PR, `TrustedRandomAccess` gains additional documentation that specifically allows for and specifies the safety conditions around subtype coercions – those coercions can happen in safe Rust code with the `Zip` API’s usage of `TrustedRandomAccess`. This PR introduces a new supertrait of `TrustedRandomAccess`(currently named `TrustedRandomAccessNoCoerce`) that _doesn’t allow_ such coercions, which means it can be still be useful for optimizing cases such as in-place collect where no iterator is handed out to a user (who could do coercions) after a `get_unchecked` call; the benefit of the supertrait is that it doesn’t come with the additional safety conditions around supertraits either, so it can be implemented for more types than `TrustedRandomAccess`.
The `TrustedRandomAccess` implementations for `vec::IntoIter`, `vec_deque::IntoIter`, and `array::IntoIter` are removed as they don’t conform with the newly documented safety conditions, this way unsoundness is removed. But this PR in turn (re-)adds a `TrustedRandomAccessNoCoerce` implementation for `vec::IntoIter` to avoid performance regressions from stable in a case of in-place collecting of `Vec`s [the above-mentioned codegen test failure]. Re-introducing the (currently nightly+beta-only) impls for `VecDeque`’s and `[T; N]`’s iterators is technically possible, but goes beyond the scope of this PR (i.e. it can happen in a future PR).
Remove P: Unpin bound on impl Future for Pin
We can safely produce a `Pin<&mut P::Target>` without moving out of the `Pin` by using `Pin::as_mut` directly.
The `Unpin` bound was originally added in #56939 following the recommendation of ``@withoutboats`` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55766#issue-378417538
That comment does not give explicit justification for why the bound should be added. The relevant context was:
> [ ] Remove `impl<P> Unpin for Pin<P>`
>
> This impl is not justified by our standard justification for unpin impls: there is no pointer direction between `Pin<P>` and `P`. Its usefulness is covered by the impls for pointers themselves.
>
> This futures impl (link to the impl changed in this PR) will need to change to add a `P: Unpin` bound.
The decision to remove the unconditional impl of `Unpin for Pin` is sound (these days there is just an auto-impl for when `P: Unpin`). But, I think the decision to also add the `Unpin` bound for `impl Future` may have been unnecessary. Or if that's not the case, I'd be very interested to have the argument for why written down somewhere. The bound _appears_ to not be needed, as demonstrated by the change requiring no unsafe code and by the existence of `Pin::as_mut`.
Stabilize core::task::ready!
_Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70922_
This PR stabilizes the `task::ready!` macro. Similar to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80886, this PR was waiting on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74355 to be fixed.
The `task::ready!` API has existed in the futures ecosystem for several years, and was added on nightly last year in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70817. The motivation for this macro is the same as it was back then: virtually every single manual future implementation makes use of this; so much so that it's one of the few things included in the [futures-core](https://docs.rs/futures-core/0.3.12/futures_core) library.
