Rollup merge of #90687 - jhpratt:const_panic, r=oli-obk
Permit const panics in stable const contexts in stdlib

Without this change, it is not possible to use `panic!` and similar (including `assert!`) in stable const contexts inside of stdlib. See #89542 for a real-world case that currently fails for this reason. This does _not_ affect any user code.

For example, this snippet currently fails to compile:

```rust
#[stable(feature = "foo", since = "1.0.0")]
#[rustc_const_stable(feature = "foo", since = "1.0.0")]
const fn foo() {
    assert!(false);
    assert!(false, "foo");
}
```

With the addition of `#[rustc_const_unstable]` to `core::panicking::panic`, the error no longer occurs. This snippet has been added verbatim in this PR as a UI test.

To avoid needing to add `#![feature(core_panic)]` to libcore, the two instances of direct calls to `core::panicking::panic` have been switched to use the `panic!` macro.

I am requesting prioritization because this is holding up other stabilizations such as #89542 (which is otherwise ready to merge and succeeds with this change)
