Std module docs improvements
My primary goal is to create a cleaner separation between primitive types and primitive type helper modules (fixes#92777). I also changed a few header lines in other top-level std modules (seen at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/) for consistency.
Some conventions used/established:
* "The \`Box\<T>` type for heap allocation." - if a module mainly provides a single type, name it and summarize its purpose in the module header
* "Utilities for the _ primitive type." - this wording is used for the header of helper modules
* Documentation for primitive types themselves are removed from helper modules
* provided-by-core functionality of primitive types is documented in the primitive type instead of the helper module (such as the "Iteration" section in the slice docs)
I wonder if some content in `std::ptr` should be in `pointer` but I did not address this.
Replace most uses of `pointer::offset` with `add` and `sub`
As PR title says, it replaces `pointer::offset` in compiler and standard library with `pointer::add` and `pointer::sub`. This generally makes code cleaner, easier to grasp and removes (or, well, hides) integer casts.
This is generally trivially correct, `.offset(-constant)` is just `.sub(constant)`, `.offset(usized as isize)` is just `.add(usized)`, etc. However in some cases we need to be careful with signs of things.

_split off from #100746_
add miri-test-libstd support to libstd
- The first commit mirrors what we already have in liballoc.
- The second commit adds some regression tests that only really make sense to be run in Miri, since they rely on Miri's extra checks to detect anything.
- The third commit makes the MPSC tests work in reasonable time in Miri by reducing iteration counts.
- The fourth commit silences some warnings due to code being disabled with `cfg(miri)`
Windows: Load synch functions together
Attempt to load all the required sync functions and fail if any one of them fails.
This fixes a FIXME by going back to optional loading of `WakeByAddressSingle`.
Also reintroduces a macro for optional loading of functions but keeps it separate from the fallback macro rather than having that do two different jobs.

Expose `Utf8Lossy` as `Utf8Chunks`
This PR changes the feature for `Utf8Lossy` from `str_internals` to `utf8_lossy` and improves the API. This is done to eventually expose the API as stable.
Proposal: rust-lang/libs-team#54
Tracking Issue: #99543
Avoid zeroing a 1kb stack buffer on every call to `std::sys::windows::fill_utf16_buf`
I've also tried to be slightly more careful about integer overflows, although in practice this is likely still not handled ideally.

Fix HorizonOS regression in FileTimes
The changes in #98246 caused a regression for multiple Newlib-based systems. This is just a fix including HorizonOS to the list of targets which require a workaround.

promote debug_assert to assert when possible and useful
This PR fixed a very old issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/94705 to clarify and improve the POSIX error checking, and some of the checks are skipped because can have no benefit, but I'm sure that this can open some interesting discussion.

linux: Use `pthread_setname_np` instead of `prctl`
This function is available on Linux since glibc 2.12, musl 1.1.16, and
uClibc 1.0.20. The main advantage over `prctl` is that it properly
represents the pointer argument, rather than a multi-purpose `long`,
so we're better representing strict provenance (#95496).
Replace pointer casting in hashmap_random_keys with safe code
The old code was unnecessarily unsafe and relied on the layout of tuples always being the same as an array of the same size (which might be bad with `-Z randomize-layout`)?
The replacement has [identical codegen](https://rust.godbolt.org/z/qxsvdb8nx), so it seems like a reasonable change.
