Implement provenance preserving methods on NonNull
### Description
Add the `addr`, `with_addr`, `map_addr` methods to the `NonNull` type, and map the address type to `NonZeroUsize`.
### Motivation
The `NonNull` type is useful for implementing pointer types which have the 0-niche. It is currently possible to implement these provenance preserving functions by calling `NonNull::as_ptr` and `new_unchecked`. The adding these methods makes it more ergonomic.
### Testing
Added a unit test of a non-null tagged pointer type. This is based on some real code I have elsewhere, that currently routes the pointer through a `NonZeroUsize` and back out to produce a usable pointer. I wanted to produce an ideal version of the same tagged pointer struct that preserved pointer provenance.
### Related
Extension of APIs proposed in #95228 . I can also split this out into a separate tracking issue if that is better (though I may need some pointers on how to do that).

Add Iterator::collect_into
This PR adds `Iterator::collect_into` as proposed by ``@cormacrelf`` in #48597 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48597#issuecomment-842083688).
Followup of #92982.
This adds the following method to the Iterator trait:
```rust
fn collect_into<E: Extend<Self::Item>>(self, collection: &mut E) -> &mut E
```
Implement `RawWaker` and `Waker` getters for underlying pointers
implement #87021
New APIs:
- `RawWaker::data(&self) -> *const ()`
- `RawWaker::vtable(&self) -> &'static RawWakerVTable`
- ~`Waker::as_raw_waker(&self) -> &RawWaker`~ `Waker::as_raw(&self) -> &RawWaker`
This third one is an auxiliary function to make the two APIs above more useful. Since we can only get `&Waker` in `Future::poll`, without this, we need to `transmute` it into `&RawWaker` (relying on `repr(transparent)`) in order to access its data/vtable pointers.
~Not sure if it should be named `as_raw` or `as_raw_waker`. Seems we always use `as_<something-raw>` instead of just `as_raw`. But `as_raw_waker` seems not quite consistent with `Waker::from_raw`.~ As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91828#discussion_r770729837, use `as_raw`.
This covers:
impl<T> MaybeUninit<T> {
pub unsafe fn assume_init_read(&self) -> T { ... }
pub unsafe fn assume_init_drop(&mut self) { ... }
}
It does not cover the const-ness of `write` under
`const_maybe_uninit_write` nor the const-ness of
`assume_init_read` (this commit adds
`const_maybe_uninit_assume_init_read` for that).

Methods that were only blocked on `const_panic` have been stabilized.
The remaining methods of `duration_consts_2` are all related to floats,
and as such have been placed behind the `duration_consts_float` feature
gate.
Stabilize `const_raw_ptr_deref` for `*const T`
This stabilizes dereferencing immutable raw pointers in const contexts.
It does not stabilize `*mut T` dereferencing. This is behind the
same feature gate as mutable references.

pub use core::simd;
A portable abstraction over SIMD has been a major pursuit in recent years for several programming languages. In Rust, `std::arch` offers explicit SIMD acceleration via compiler intrinsics, but it does so at the cost of having to individually maintain each and every single such API, and is almost completely `unsafe` to use. `core::simd` offers safe abstractions that are resolved to the appropriate SIMD instructions by LLVM during compilation, including scalar instructions if that is all that is available.
`core::simd` is enabled by the `#![portable_simd]` nightly feature tracked in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86656 and is introduced here by pulling in the https://github.com/rust-lang/portable-simd repository as a subtree. We built the repository out-of-tree to allow faster compilation and a stochastic test suite backed by the proptest crate to verify that different targets, features, and optimizations produce the same result, so that using this library does not introduce any surprises. As these tests are technically non-deterministic, and thus can introduce overly interesting Heisenbugs if included in the rustc CI, they are visible in the commit history of the subtree but do nothing here. Some tests **are** introduced via the documentation, but these use deterministic asserts.
There are multiple unsolved problems with the library at the current moment, including a want for better documentation, technical issues with LLVM scalarizing and lowering to libm, room for improvement for the APIs, and so far I have not added the necessary plumbing for allowing the more experimental or libm-dependent APIs to be used. However, I thought it would be prudent to open this for review in its current condition, as it is both usable and it is likely I am going to learn something else needs to be fixed when bors tries this out.
The major types are
- `core::simd::Simd<T, N>`
- `core::simd::Mask<T, N>`
There is also the `LaneCount` struct, which, together with the SimdElement and SupportedLaneCount traits, limit the implementation's maximum support to vectors we know will actually compile and provide supporting logic for bitmasks. I'm hoping to simplify at least some of these out of the way as the compiler and library evolve.
These tests just verify some basic APIs of core::simd function, and
guarantees that attempting to access the wrong things doesn't work.
The majority of tests are stochastic, and so remain upstream, but
a few deterministic tests arrive in the subtree as doc tests.
This stabilizes dereferencing immutable raw pointers in const contexts.
It does not stabilize `*mut T` dereferencing. This is placed behind the
`const_raw_mut_ptr_deref` feature gate.
