Attempt to "fix" two flaws of the current documentation:
1. The over-emphasis of fence - fence synchronization, relegating
atomic - fence and fence - atomic synchronization to second fiddle.
2. The lack of explanation as to how to properly perform atomic - fence
and fence - atomic synchronization.
It does so by first making it clear that there are 3 different ways to
use an atomic fence, then presenting a full example for each usecase,
noting the particular position of the fence with regard to the atomic
operation, and rounding up with generic notes.
Constify conversion traits (part 1)
This is the first part of rust-lang/rust#144289 being split into smaller pieces. It adds/moves constness of several traits under the `const_convert` feature:
* `From`
* `Into`
* `TryFrom`
* `TryInto`
* `FromStr`
* `AsRef`
* `AsMut`
* `Borrow`
* `BorrowMut`
* `Deref`
* `DerefMut`
There are a few methods that are intrinsically tied to these traits which I've included in the feature. Particularly, those which are wrappers over `AsRef`:
* `ByteStr::new` (unstable under `bstr` feature)
* `OsStr::new`
* `Path::new`
Those which directly use `Into`:
* `Result::into_ok`
* `Result::into_err`
And those which use `Deref` and `DerefMut`:
* `Pin::as_ref`
* `Pin::as_mut`
* `Pin::as_deref_mut`
* `Option::as_deref`
* `Option::as_deref_mut`
* `Result::as_deref`
* `Result::as_deref_mut`
(note: the `Option` and `Result` methods were suggested by ``@npmccallum`` initially as rust-lang/rust#146101)
The parts which are missing from this PR are:
* Anything that involves heap-allocated types
* Making any method const than the ones listed above
* Anything that could rely on the above, *or* could rely on system-specific code for `OsStr` or `Path` (note: this mostly makes these methods useless since `str` doesn't implement `AsRef<OsStr>` yet, but it's better to track the method for now and add impls later, IMHO)

atomicrmw on pointers: move integer-pointer cast hacks into backend
Conceptually, we want to have atomic operations on pointers of the form `fn atomic_add(ptr: *mut T, offset: usize, ...)`. However, LLVM does not directly support such operations (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/120837), so we have to cast the `offset` to a pointer somewhere.
This PR moves that hack into the LLVM backend, so that the standard library, intrinsic, and Miri all work with the conceptual operation we actually want. Hopefully, one day LLVM will gain a way to represent these operations without integer-pointer casts, and then the hack will disappear entirely.
Cc ```@nikic``` -- this is the best we can do right now, right?
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/134617
- Rewords existing Considerations section on `fetch_update` and friends
to make clear that the limitations are inherent to an implementation based on any
CAS operation, rather than the weak version of `compare_exchange` in particular
- Add Considerations to `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak`
which details similar considerations and when they may be relevant.
atomic_load intrinsic: use const generic parameter for ordering
We have a gazillion intrinsics for the atomics because we encode the ordering into the intrinsic name rather than making it a parameter. This is particularly bad for those operations that take two orderings. Let's fix that!
This PR only converts `load`, to see if there's any feedback that would fundamentally change the strategy we pursue for the const generic intrinsics.
The first two commits are preparation and could be a separate PR if you prefer.
`@BoxyUwU` -- I hope this is a use of const generics that is unlikely to explode? All we need is a const generic of enum type. We could funnel it through an integer if we had to but an enum is obviously nicer...
`@bjorn3` it seems like the cranelift backend entirely ignores the ordering?
This updates some doctests that fail to run on wasm. We will soon be
supporting cross-compiled doctests, and the test-various job fails to
run these tests. These tests fail because wasm32-wasip1 does not support
threads.
Remove `#[cfg(not(test))]` gates in `core`
These gates are unnecessary now that unit tests for `core` are in a separate package, `coretests`, instead of in the same files as the source code. They previously prevented the two `core` versions from conflicting with each other.

Use `std::mem::{size_of, size_of_val, align_of, align_of_val}` from the
prelude instead of importing or qualifying them.
These functions were added to all preludes in Rust 1.80.
