Revert Break into the debugger on panic (129019)
This was talked about a bit at a recent libs meeting. While I think experimenting with this is worthwhile, I am nervous about this new behaviour reaching stable. We've already reverted on one tier 1 platform (Linux, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130810) which means we have differing semantics on different tier 1 platforms. Also the fact it triggers even when `catch_unwind` is used to catch the panic means it can be very noisy in some projects.
At the very least I think it could use some more discussion before being instantly stable. I think this could maybe be re-landed with an environment variable to control/override the behaviour. But that part would likely need a libs-api decision.

Since the stabilization in #127679 has reached stage0, 1.82-beta, we can
start using `&raw` freely, and even the soft-deprecated `ptr::addr_of!`
and `ptr::addr_of_mut!` can stop allowing the unstable feature.
I intentionally did not change any documentation or tests, but the rest
of those macro uses are all now using `&raw const` or `&raw mut` in the
standard library.
Break into the debugger (if attached) on panics (Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD)
The developer experience for panics is to provide the backtrace and
exit the program. When running under debugger, that might be improved
by breaking into the debugger once the code panics thus enabling
the developer to examine the program state at the exact time when
the code panicked.
Let the developer catch the panic in the debugger if it is attached.
If the debugger is not attached, nothing changes. Providing this feature
inside the standard library facilitates better debugging experience.
Validated under Windows, Linux, macOS 14.6, and FreeBSD 13.3..14.1.

Apply size optimizations to panic machinery and some cold functions
* std dependencies gimli and addr2line are now built with opt-level=s
* various panic-related methods and `#[cold]` methods are now marked `#[optimize(size)]`
Panics should be cold enough that it doesn't make sense to optimize them for speed. The only tradeoff here is if someone does a lot of backtrace captures (without panics) and printing then the opt-level change might impact their perf.
Seems to be the first use of the optimize attribute. Tracking issue #54882
previously, we only held a lock for printing the backtrace itself. since all threads were printing to the same file descriptor, that meant random output in the default panic hook would be interleaved with the backtrace. now, we hold the lock for the full duration of the hook, and the output is ordered.
Avoid a panic in `set_output_capture` in the default panic handler
This avoid a panic in the default panic handler by not using `set_output_capture` as `OUTPUT_CAPTURE.with` may panic once `OUTPUT_CAPTURE` is dropped.
A new non-panicking `try_set_output_capture` variant of `set_output_capture` is added for use in the default panic handler.
Rename BoxMeUp to PanicPayload.
"BoxMeUp" is not very clear. Let's rename that to a description of what it actually represents: a panic payload.
This PR also renames the structs that implement this trait to have more descriptive names.

Implement rust-lang/compiler-team#578.
When an ICE is encountered on nightly releases, the new rustc panic
handler will also write the contents of the backtrace to disk. If any
`delay_span_bug`s are encountered, their backtrace is also added to the
file. The platform and rustc version will also be collected.
