Std module docs improvements
My primary goal is to create a cleaner separation between primitive types and primitive type helper modules (fixes#92777). I also changed a few header lines in other top-level std modules (seen at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/) for consistency.
Some conventions used/established:
* "The \`Box\<T>` type for heap allocation." - if a module mainly provides a single type, name it and summarize its purpose in the module header
* "Utilities for the _ primitive type." - this wording is used for the header of helper modules
* Documentation for primitive types themselves are removed from helper modules
* provided-by-core functionality of primitive types is documented in the primitive type instead of the helper module (such as the "Iteration" section in the slice docs)
I wonder if some content in `std::ptr` should be in `pointer` but I did not address this.
Clamp Function for f32 and f64
I thought the clamp function could use a little improvement for readability purposes. The function now returns early in order to skip the extra bound checks.
If there was a reason for binding `self` to `x` or if this code is incorrect, please correct me :)
Fix trailing space showing up in example
The current text is rendered as: U+005B ..= U+0060 ``[ \ ] ^ _ ` ``, or (**note the final space!**)
This patch changes that to render as: U+005B ..= U+0060 `` [ \ ] ^ _ ` ``, or (**note no final space!**)
The reason for that, is that CommonMark has a solution for starting or ending inline code with a backtick/grave accent: padding both sides with a space, makes that padding disappear.
Simple Clamp Function
I thought this was more robust and easier to read. I also allowed this function to return early in order to skip the extra bound check (I'm sure the difference is negligible). I'm not sure if there was a reason for binding `self` to `x`; if so, please correct me.

Previously, the `Number` part of the EBNF grammar had an option for `'.' Digit*`, which would include the string "." (a single decimal point). This is not valid, and does not return an Ok as stated. The corrected version removes this, and still allows for the `'.' Digit+` case with the already existing `Digit* '.' Digit+` case.
Document rounding for floating-point primitive operations and string parsing
The docs for floating point don't have much to say at present about either the precision of their results or rounding behaviour.
As I understand it[^1][^2], Rust doesn't support operating with non-default rounding directions, so we need only describe roundTiesToEven.
[^1]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41753#issuecomment-299322887
[^2]: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/8472#issuecomment-980888781
This PR makes a start by documenting that for primitive operations and `from_str()`.
Improve floating point documentation
This is my attempt to improve/solve https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95468 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73328 .
Added/refined explanations:
- Refine the "NaN as a special value" top level explanation of f32
- Refine `const NAN` docstring: add an explanation about there being multitude of NaN bitpatterns and disclaimer about the portability/stability guarantees.
- Refine `fn is_sign_positive` and `fn is_sign_negative` docstrings: add disclaimer about the sign bit of NaNs.
- Refine `fn min` and `fn max` docstrings: explain the semantics and their relationship to the standard and libm better.
- Refine `fn trunc` docstrings: explain the semantics slightly more.
- Refine `fn powi` docstrings: add disclaimer that the rounding behaviour might be different from `powf`.
- Refine `fn copysign` docstrings: add disclaimer about payloads of NaNs.
- Refine `minimum` and `maximum`: add disclaimer that "propagating NaN" doesn't mean that propagating the NaN bit patterns is guaranteed.
- Refine `max` and `min` docstrings: add "ignoring NaN" to bring the one-row explanation to parity with `minimum` and `maximum`.
Cosmetic changes:
- Reword `NaN` and `NAN` as plain "NaN", unless they refer to the specific `const NAN`.
- Reword "a number" to `self` in function docstrings to clarify.
- Remove "Returns NAN if the number is NAN" from `abs`, as this is told to be the default behavior in the top explanation.
Remove `#[rustc_deprecated]`
This removes `#[rustc_deprecated]` and introduces diagnostics to help users to the right direction (that being `#[deprecated]`). All uses of `#[rustc_deprecated]` have been converted. CI is expected to fail initially; this requires #95958, which includes converting `stdarch`.
I plan on following up in a short while (maybe a bootstrap cycle?) removing the diagnostics, as they're only intended to be short-term.
No "weird" floats in const fn {from,to}_bits
I suspect this code is subtly incorrect and that we don't even e.g. use x87-style floats in CTFE, so I don't have to guard against that case. A future PR will be hopefully removing them from concern entirely, anyways. But at the moment I wanted to get this rolling because small questions like that one seem best answered by review.

Some masks where defined as
```rust
const NONASCII_MASK: usize = 0x80808080_80808080u64 as usize;
```
where it was assumed that `usize` is never wider than 64, which is currently true.
To make those constants valid in a hypothetical 128-bit target, these constants have been redefined in an `usize`-width-agnostic way
```rust
const NONASCII_MASK: usize = usize::from_ne_bytes([0x80; size_of::<usize>()]);
```
There are already some cases where Rust anticipates the possibility of supporting 128-bit targets, such as not implementing `From<usize>` for `u64`.
Faster parsing for lower numbers for radix up to 16 (cont.)
( Continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83371 )
With LingMan's change I think this is potentially ready.
Add debug assertions to some unsafe functions
As suggested by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51713
~~Some similar code calls `abort()` instead of `panic!()` but aborting doesn't work in a `const fn`, and the intrinsic for doing dispatch based on whether execution is in a const is unstable.~~
This picked up some invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the compiler, and fixes them.
I can confirm that they do in fact pick up invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the wild, though the user experience is less-than-awesome:
```
Running unittests (target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/deps/rle_decode_fast-04b7918da2001b50)

error: test failed, to rerun pass '--lib'
Caused by:

```
~~As best I can tell these changes produce a 6% regression in the runtime of `./x.py test` when `[rust] debug = true` is set.~~
Latest commit (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/92686/commits/6894d559bdb4365243b3f4bf73f18e4b1bed04d1) brings the additional overhead from this PR down to 0.5%, while also adding a few more assertions. I think this actually covers all the places in `core` that it is reasonable to check for safety requirements at runtime.
Thoughts?
