Optimize break patterns
Use `wyrand` instead of calling `XORSHIFT` 2 times in break patterns for the 64-bit platform. The new PRNG is 2x faster than the previous one.

implement const iterator using `rustc_do_not_const_check`
Previous experiment: #102225.
Explanation: rather than making all default methods work under `const` all at once, this uses `rustc_do_not_const_check` as a workaround to "trick" the compiler to not run any checks on those other default methods. Any const implementations are only required to implement the `next` method. Any actual calls to the trait methods other than `next` will either error in compile time (at CTFE runs), or run the methods correctly if they do not have any non-const operations. This is extremely easy to maintain, remove, or improve.
Rename atomic 'as_mut_ptr' to 'as_ptr' to match Cell (ref #66893)

Document that CStr::as_ptr returns a type alias
Rustdoc resolves type aliases too eagerly #15823 which makes the [std re-export](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ffi/struct.CStr.html#method.as_ptr) of `CStr::as_ptr` show `i8` instead of `c_char`. To work around this I've added info about `c_char` in the method's description.
BTW, I've also added a comment to what-not-to-do example in case someone copypasted it without reading the surrounding text.
Improve the `array::map` codegen
The `map` method on arrays [is documented as sometimes performing poorly](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.array.html#note-on-performance-and-stack-usage), and after [a question on URLO](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/try-trait-residual-o-trait-and-try-collect-into-array/88510?u=scottmcm) prompted me to take another look at the core [`try_collect_into_array`](7c46fb2111/library/core/src/array/mod.rs (L865-L912)) function, I had some ideas that ended up working better than I'd expected.
There's three main ideas in here, split over three commits:
1. Don't use `array::IntoIter` when we can avoid it, since that seems to not get SRoA'd, meaning that every step writes things like loop counters into the stack unnecessarily
2. Don't return arrays in `Result`s unnecessarily, as that doesn't seem to optimize away even with `unwrap_unchecked` (perhaps because it needs to get moved into a new LLVM type to account for the discriminant)
3. Don't distract LLVM with all the `Option` dances when we know for sure we have enough items (like in `map` and `zip`). This one's a larger commit as to do it I ended up adding a new `pub(crate)` trait, but hopefully those changes are still straight-forward.
(No libs-api changes; everything should be completely implementation-detail-internal.)
It's still not completely fixed -- I think it needs pcwalton's `memcpy` optimizations still (#103830) to get further -- but this seems to go much better than before. And the remaining `memcpy`s are just `transmute`-equivalent (`[T; N] -> ManuallyDrop<[T; N]>` and `[MaybeUninit<T>; N] -> [T; N]`), so hopefully those will be easier to remove with LLVM16 than the previous subobject copies 🤞

As a simple example, this test
```rust
pub fn long_integer_map(x: [u32; 64]) -> [u32; 64] {
x.map(|x| 13 * x + 7)
}
```
On nightly <https://rust.godbolt.org/z/xK7548TGj> takes `sub rsp, 808`
```llvm
start:
%array.i.i.i.i = alloca [64 x i32], align 4
%_3.sroa.5.i.i.i = alloca [65 x i32], align 4
%_5.i = alloca %"core::iter::adapters::map::Map<core::array::iter::IntoIter<u32, 64>, [closure@/app/example.rs:2:11: 2:14]>", align 8
```
(and yes, that's a 6**5**-element array `alloca` despite 6**4**-element input and output)
But with this PR it's only `sub rsp, 520`
```llvm
start:
%array.i.i.i.i.i.i = alloca [64 x i32], align 4
%array1.i.i.i = alloca %"core::mem::manually_drop::ManuallyDrop<[u32; 64]>", align 4
```
Similarly, the loop it emits on nightly is scalar-only and horrifying
```nasm
.LBB0_1:
mov esi, 64
mov edi, 0
cmp rdx, 64
je .LBB0_3
lea rsi, [rdx + 1]
mov qword ptr [rsp + 784], rsi
mov r8d, dword ptr [rsp + 4*rdx + 528]
mov edi, 1
lea edx, [r8 + 2*r8]
lea r8d, [r8 + 4*rdx]
add r8d, 7
.LBB0_3:
test edi, edi
je .LBB0_11
mov dword ptr [rsp + 4*rcx + 272], r8d
cmp rsi, 64
jne .LBB0_6

.LBB0_6:

mov dword ptr [rsp + 4*rcx + 276], edi
add rcx, 2
cmp rcx, 64
jne .LBB0_1
```
whereas with this PR it's unrolled and vectorized
```nasm
vpmulld ymm1, ymm0, ymmword ptr [rsp + 64]
vpaddd ymm1, ymm1, ymm2
vmovdqu ymmword ptr [rsp + 328], ymm1
vpmulld ymm1, ymm0, ymmword ptr [rsp + 96]
vpaddd ymm1, ymm1, ymm2
vmovdqu ymmword ptr [rsp + 360], ymm1
```

Avoid copy-pasting the `ilog` panic string in a bunch of places
I also ended up changing the implementations to `if let` because it doesn't work to
```rust
self.checked_ilog2().unwrap_or_else(panic_for_nonpositive_argument)
```
due to the `!`. But as a bonus that meant I could remove the `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable` too.
Add `array::map` benchmarks
Since there were no previous benchmarks for `array::map`, and it is known to have mediocre/poor performance, add some simple benchmarks. These benchmarks vary the length of the array and size of each item.
avoid mixing accesses of ptrs derived from a mutable ref and parent ptrs
``@Vanille-N`` is working on a successor for Stacked Borrows. It will mostly accept strictly more code than Stacked Borrows did, with one exception: the following pattern no longer works.
```rust
let mut root = 6u8;
let mref = &mut root;
let ptr = mref as *mut u8;
*ptr = 0; // Write
assert_eq!(root, 0); // Parent Read
*ptr = 0; // Attempted Write
```
This worked in Stacked Borrows kind of by accident: when doing the "parent read", under SB we Disable `mref`, but the raw ptrs derived from it remain usable. The fact that we can still use the "children" of a reference that is no longer usable is quite nasty and leads to some undesirable effects (in particular it is the major blocker for resolving https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/257). So in Tree Borrows we no longer do that; instead, reading from `root` makes `mref` and all its children read-only.
Due to other improvements in Tree Borrows, the entire Miri test suite still passes with this new behavior, and even the entire libcore and liballoc test suite, except for these 2 cases this PR fixes. Both of these involve code where the programmer wrote `&mut` but then used pointers derived from that reference in ways that alias with the parent pointer, which arguably is violating uniqueness. They are fixed by properly using raw pointers throughout.
Document `PointerLike`
I forgot to document this, and even though it's currently more of an implementation detail, the old doc was kinda embarrassing 😅
Use associated items of `char` instead of freestanding items in `core::char`
The associated functions and constants on `char` have been stable since 1.52 and the freestanding items have soft-deprecated since 1.62 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95566). This PR ~~marks them as "deprecated in future", similar to the integer and floating point modules (`core::{i32, f32}` etc)~~ replaces all uses of `core::char::*` with `char::*` to prepare for future deprecation of `core::char::*`.
Speedup heapsort by 1.5x by making it branchless
`slice::sort_unstable` will fall back to heapsort if it repeatedly fails to find a good pivot. By making the core child update code branchless it is much faster. On Zen3 sorting 10k `u64` and forcing the sort to pick heapsort, results in:
455us -> 278us

Stabilize feature `cstr_from_bytes_until_nul`
This PR seeks to stabilize `cstr_from_bytes_until_nul`.
Partially addresses #95027
This function has only been on nightly for about 10 months, but I think it is simple enough that there isn't harm discussing stabilization. It has also had at least a handful of mentions on both the user forum and the discord, so it seems like it's already in use or at least known.
This needs FCP still.
Comment on potential discussion points:
- eventual conversion of `CStr` to be a single thin pointer: this function will still be useful to provide a safe way to create a `CStr` after this change.
- should this return a length too, to address concerns about the `CStr` change? I don't see it as being particularly useful, and it seems less ergonomic (i.e. returning `Result<(&CStr, usize), FromBytesUntilNulError>`). I think users that also need this length without the additional `strlen` call are likely better off using a combination of other methods, but this is up for discussion
- `CString::from_vec_until_nul`: this is also useful, but it doesn't even have a nightly implementation merged yet. I propose feature gating that separately, as opposed to blocking this `CStr` implementation on that
Possible alternatives:
A user can use `from_bytes_with_nul` on a slice up to `my_slice[..my_slice.iter().find(|c| c == 0).unwrap()]`. However; that is significantly less ergonomic, and is a bit more work for the compiler to optimize compared the direct `memchr` call that this wraps.
## New stable API
```rs
// both in core::ffi
pub struct FromBytesUntilNulError(());
impl CStr {
pub const fn from_bytes_until_nul(
bytes: &[u8]
) -> Result<&CStr, FromBytesUntilNulError>
}
```

Rename `PointerSized` to `PointerLike`
The old name was unnecessarily vague. This PR renames a nightly language feature that I added, so I don't think it needs any additional approval, though anyone can feel free to speak up if you dislike the rename.
It's still unsatisfying that we don't the user which of {size, alignment} is wrong, but this trait really is just a stepping stone for a more generalized mechanism to create `dyn*`, just meant for nightly testing, so I don't think it really deserves additional diagnostic machinery for now.
