Fix rusty grammar in `std::error::Reporter` docs
### Commit
I initially saw "print's" instead of "prints" at the start of the doc comment for `std::error::Reporter`, while reading the docs for that type. Then I figured 'probably more where that came from', so, as well as correcting the foregoing to "prints", I've patched up these three minor solecisms (well, two [types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction), three [tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction)):
- One use of the indicative which should be subjunctive - indeed the sentence immediately following it, which mirrors its structure, _does_ use the subjunctive ([L871](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L871)). Replaced with the subjunctive.
- Two separate clauses joined with commas ([L975](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L975), [L1023](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L1023)). Replaced the first with a semicolon and the second with a period. Admittedly those judgements are pretty much 100% subjective, based on my sense of how the sentences flowed into each other (though ofc the _replacement of the comma itself_ is not subjective or opinion-based).
I know this is silly and finicky, but I hope it helps tidy up the docs a bit for future readers!
### PR notes
**This is very much non-urgent (and, honestly, non-important).** I just figured it might be a nice quality-of-life improvement and bit of tidying up for the core contributors themselves not to have to do. 🙂

From reading the source code, it appears like the desired semantic of
std::unix::rand is to always provide some bytes and never block. For
that reason GRND_NONBLOCK is checked before calling getrandom(0), so
that getrandom(0) won't block. If it would block, then the function
falls back to using /dev/urandom, which for the time being doesn't
block. There are some drawbacks to using /dev/urandom, however, and so
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) was created as a replacement for this exact
circumstance.
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) is the same as /dev/urandom, except:
- It won't leave a warning in dmesg if used at early boot time, which is
a common occurance (and the reason why I found this issue);
- It won't introduce a tiny delay at early boot on newer kernels when
/dev/urandom tries to opportunistically create jitter entropy;
- It only requires 1 syscall, rather than 3.
Other than that, it returns the same "quality" of randomness as
/dev/urandom, and never blocks.
It's only available on kernels ≥5.6, so we try to use it, cache the
result of that attempt, and fall back to to the previous code if it
didn't work.
It is not obvious (at least for me) that complexity of iteration over hash tables depends on capacity and not length. Especially comparing with other containers like Vec or String. I think, this behaviour is worth mentioning.
I run benchmark which tests iteration time for maps with length 50 and different capacities and get this results:
```
capacity - time
64 - 203.87 ns
256 - 351.78 ns
1024 - 607.87 ns
4096 - 965.82 ns
16384 - 3.1188 us
```
If you want to dig why it behaves such way, you can look current implementation in [hashbrown code](f3a9f211d0/src/raw/mod.rs (L1933)).
Benchmarks code would be presented in PR related to this commit.
Remove libstd's calls to `C-unwind` foreign functions
Remove all libstd and its dependencies' usage of `extern "C-unwind"`.
This is a prerequiste of a WIP PR which will forbid libraries calling `extern "C-unwind"` functions to be compiled in `-Cpanic=unwind` and linked against `panic_abort` (this restriction is necessary to address soundness bug #96926).
Cargo will ensure all crates are compiled with the same `-Cpanic` but the std is only compiled `-Cpanic=unwind` but needs the ability to be linked into `-Cpanic=abort`.
Currently there are two places where `C-unwind` is used in libstd:
* `__rust_start_panic` is used for interfacing to the panic runtime. This could be `extern "Rust"`
* `_{rdl,rg}_oom`: a shim `__rust_alloc_error_handler` will be generated by codegen to call into one of these; they can also be `extern "Rust"` (in fact, the generated shim is used as `extern "Rust"`, so I am not even sure why these are not, probably because they used to `extern "C"` and was changed to `extern "C-unwind"` when we allow alloc error hooks to unwind, but they really should just be using Rust ABI).
For dependencies, there is only one `extern "C-unwind"` function call, in `unwind` crate. This can be expressed as a re-export.
More dicussions can be seen in the Zulip thread: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/210922-project-ffi-unwind/topic/soundness.20in.20mixed.20panic.20mode

Make HashMap fall back to RtlGenRandom if BCryptGenRandom fails
With PR #84096, Rust `std::collections::hash_map::RandomState` changed from using `RtlGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ntsecapi/nf-ntsecapi-rtlgenrandom)) to `BCryptGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/bcrypt/nf-bcrypt-bcryptgenrandom)) as its source of secure randomness after much discussion ([here](https://github.com/rust-random/getrandom/issues/65#issuecomment-753634074), among other places).
Unfortunately, after that PR landed, Mozilla Firefox started experiencing fairly-rare crashes during startup while attempting to initialize the `env_logger` crate. ([docs for env_logger](https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger/)) The root issue is that on some machines, `BCryptGenRandom()` will fail with an `Access is denied. (os error 5)` error message. ([Bugzilla issue 1754490](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1754490)) (Discussion in issue #94098)
Note that this is happening upon startup of Firefox's unsandboxed Main Process, so this behavior is different and separate from previous issues ([like this](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1746254)) where BCrypt DLLs were blocked by process sandboxing. In the case of sandboxing, we knew we were doing something abnormal and expected that we'd have to resort to abnormal measures to make it work.
However, in this case we are in a regular unsandboxed process just trying to initialize `env_logger` and getting a panic. We suspect that this may be caused by a virus scanner or some other security software blocking the loading of the BCrypt DLLs, but we're not completely sure as we haven't been able to replicate locally.
It is also possible that Firefox is not the only software affected by this; we just may be one of the pieces of Rust software that has the telemetry and crash reporting necessary to catch it.
I have read some of the historical discussion around using `BCryptGenRandom()` in Rust code, and I respect the decision that was made and agree that it was a good course of action, so I'm not trying to open a discussion about a return to `RtlGenRandom()`. Instead, I'd like to suggest that perhaps we use `RtlGenRandom()` as a "fallback RNG" in the case that BCrypt doesn't work.
This pull request implements this fallback behavior. I believe this would improve the robustness of this essential data structure within the standard library, and I see only 2 potential drawbacks:
1. Slight added overhead: It should be quite minimal though. The first call to `sys::rand::hashmap_random_keys()` will incur a bit of initialization overhead, and every call after will incur roughly 2 non-atomic global reads and 2 easily predictable branches. Both should be negligible compared to the actual cost of generating secure random numbers
2. `RtlGenRandom()` is deprecated by Microsoft: Technically true, but as mentioned in [this comment on GoLang](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33542#issuecomment-626124873), this API is ubiquitous in Windows software and actually removing it would break lots of things. Also, Firefox uses it already in [our C++ code](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5f88c1d6977e03e22d3420d0cdf8ad0113c2eb31/mfbt/RandomNum.cpp#25), and [Chromium uses it in their code as well](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/rand_util_win.cc) (which transitively means that Microsoft uses it in their own web browser, Edge). If there did come a time when Microsoft truly removes this API, it should be easy enough for Rust to simply remove the fallback in the code I've added here
Fix use of SetHandleInformation on UWP
The use of `SetHandleInformation` (introduced in #96441 to make `HANDLE` inheritable) breaks UWP builds because it is not available for UWP targets.
Proposed workaround: duplicate the `HANDLE` with `inherit = true` and immediately close the old one. Traditional Windows Desktop programs are not affected.

Add rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed to Owned/Borrowed Fd/Socket
PR #94586 added support for using
`rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed` on values where the "null" value
is the all-ones bitpattern.
Now that #94586 has made it to the stage0 compiler, add
`rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed` to `OwnedFd`, `BorrowedFd`,
`OwnedSocket`, and `BorrowedSocket`, since these types all exclude
all-ones bitpatterns.
This allows `Option<OwnedFd>`, `Option<BorrowedFd>`, `Option<OwnedSocket>`,
and `Option<BorrowedSocket>` to be used in FFI declarations, as described
in the [I/O safety RFC].

ExitCode::exit_process() method
cc `@yaahc` / #93840
(eeek, hit ctrl-enter before I meant to and right after realizing the branch name was wrong. oh, well)
I feel like it makes sense to have the `exit(ExitCode)` function as a method or at least associated function on ExitCode, but maybe that would hurt discoverability? Probably not as much if it's at the top of the `process::exit()` documentation or something, but idk. Also very unsure about the name, I'd like something that communicates that you are exiting with *this* ExitCode, but with a method name being postfix it doesn't seem to flow. `code.exit_process_with()` ? `.exit_process_with_self()` ? Blech. Maybe it doesn't matter, since ideally just `code.exit()` or something would be clear simply by the name and single parameter but 🤷
Also I'd like to touch up the `ExitCode` docs (which I did a bit here), but that would probably be good in a separate PR, right? Since I think the beta deadline is coming up.
Clarify what values `BorrowedHandle`, `OwnedHandle` etc. can hold.
Reword the documentation to clarify that when `BorrowedHandle`, `OwnedHandle`, or `HandleOrNull` hold the value `-1`, it always means the current process handle, and not `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE`.
`-1` should only mean `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` after a call to a function documented to return that to report errors, which should lead I/O functions to produce errors rather than succeeding and producing `OwnedHandle` or `BorrowedHandle` values. So if a consumer of an `OwnedHandle` or `BorrowedHandle` ever sees them holding a `-1`, it should always mean the current process handle.

Make `BorrowedFd::borrow_raw` a const fn.
Making `BorrowedFd::borrow_raw` a const fn allows it to be used to
create a constant `BorrowedFd<'static>` holding constants such as
`AT_FDCWD`. This will allow [`rustix::fs::cwd`] to become a const fn.
For consistency, make similar changes to `BorrowedHandle::borrow_raw`
and `BorrowedSocket::borrow_raw`.

Issue #84096 changed the hashmap RNG to use BCryptGenRandom instead of
RtlGenRandom on Windows.
Mozilla Firefox started experiencing random failures in
env_logger::Builder::new() (Issue #94098) during initialization of their
unsandboxed main process with an "Access Denied" error message from
BCryptGenRandom(), which is used by the HashMap contained in
env_logger::Builder
The root cause appears to be a virus scanner or other software interfering
with BCrypt DLLs loading.
This change adds a fallback option if BCryptGenRandom is unusable for
whatever reason. It will fallback to RtlGenRandom in this case.

Revert "Implement [OsStr]::join", which was merged without FCP.
This reverts commit 4fcbc53820, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96744. (I'm terribly sorry, and truly don't remember r+ing it, or even having seen it before yesterday, which is... genuinely very worrisome for me).

Improve floating point documentation
This is my attempt to improve/solve https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95468 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73328 .
Added/refined explanations:
- Refine the "NaN as a special value" top level explanation of f32
- Refine `const NAN` docstring: add an explanation about there being multitude of NaN bitpatterns and disclaimer about the portability/stability guarantees.
- Refine `fn is_sign_positive` and `fn is_sign_negative` docstrings: add disclaimer about the sign bit of NaNs.
- Refine `fn min` and `fn max` docstrings: explain the semantics and their relationship to the standard and libm better.
- Refine `fn trunc` docstrings: explain the semantics slightly more.
- Refine `fn powi` docstrings: add disclaimer that the rounding behaviour might be different from `powf`.
- Refine `fn copysign` docstrings: add disclaimer about payloads of NaNs.
- Refine `minimum` and `maximum`: add disclaimer that "propagating NaN" doesn't mean that propagating the NaN bit patterns is guaranteed.
- Refine `max` and `min` docstrings: add "ignoring NaN" to bring the one-row explanation to parity with `minimum` and `maximum`.
Cosmetic changes:
- Reword `NaN` and `NAN` as plain "NaN", unless they refer to the specific `const NAN`.
- Reword "a number" to `self` in function docstrings to clarify.
- Remove "Returns NAN if the number is NAN" from `abs`, as this is told to be the default behavior in the top explanation.
Remove `#[rustc_deprecated]`
This removes `#[rustc_deprecated]` and introduces diagnostics to help users to the right direction (that being `#[deprecated]`). All uses of `#[rustc_deprecated]` have been converted. CI is expected to fail initially; this requires #95958, which includes converting `stdarch`.
I plan on following up in a short while (maybe a bootstrap cycle?) removing the diagnostics, as they're only intended to be short-term.
