Extend const_convert with const {FormResidual, Try} for ControlFlow.
Very small change so I just used the existing `const_convert` feature flag. #88674
Newly const API:
```
impl<B, C> const ops::Try for ControlFlow<B, C>;
impl<B, C> const ops::FromResidual for ControlFlow<B, C>;
```
`@usbalbin` I hope it is ok that I added to your feature.
Optimize `array::IntoIter`
`.into_iter()` on arrays was slower than it needed to be (especially compared to slice iterator) since it uses `Range<usize>`, which needs to handle degenerate ranges like `10..4`.
This PR adds an internal `IndexRange` type that's like `Range<usize>` but with a safety invariant that means it doesn't need to worry about those cases -- it only handles `start <= end` -- and thus can give LLVM more information to optimize better.
I added one simple demonstration of the improvement as a codegen test.
(`vec::IntoIter` uses pointers instead of indexes, so doesn't have this problem, but that only works because its elements are boxed. `array::IntoIter` can't use pointers because that would keep it from being movable.)

Make `from_waker`, `waker` and `from_raw` unstably `const`
Make
- `Context::from_waker`
- `Context::waker`
- `Waker::from_raw`
`const`.
Also added a small test.
Tone down explanation on RefCell::get_mut
The language around `RefCell::get_mut` is remarkably sketchy and especially to the novice seems to quite strongly discourage using the method ("be cautious", "Also, please be aware", "special circumstances", "usually not what you want"). It was added six years ago in #40634 due to confusion about when to use `get_mut` and `borrow_mut`.
While its signature limits the use-cases for `get_mut`, there is no chance for a safety footgun, and readers can be made aware of `borrow_mut` more softly. I've also just sent a [PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9044) to lint situations where `get_mut` could be used to improve ergonomics and performance.
So this PR tones down the language around `get_mut` and also brings it more in line with [`std::sync::Mutex::get_mut()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/struct.Mutex.html#method.get_mut).
array docs - advertise how to get array from slice
On my first Rust project, I spent more time than I care to admit figuring out how to efficiently get an array from a slice. Update the array documentation to explain this a bit more clearly.
(As a side note, it's a bit unfortunate that get-array-from-slice is only available via trait since that means it can't be used from const functions yet.)
Constify impl Fn* &(mut) Fn*
Tracking Issue: [101803](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/101803)
Feature gate: `#![feature(const_fn_trait_ref_impls)]`
This feature allows using references to Fn* Items as Fn* Items themself in a const context.
Fix naming format of IEEE 754 standard
Currently the documentation of f64::min refers to "IEEE-754 2008" while the documentation of f64::minimum refers to "IEEE 754-2019".
Note that one has the format IEEE,hyphen,number,space,year while the other is IEEE,space,number,hyphen,year. The official IEEE site [1] uses the later format and it is also the one most commonly used throughout the codebase.
Update all comments and - more importantly - documentation to consistently use the official format.

The `<*const T>::guaranteed_*` methods now return an option for the unknown case

I chose `0` for "not equal" and `1` for "equal" and left `2` for the unknown case so backends can just forward to raw pointer equality and it works ✨
