Stabilize `const_is_char_boundary` and `const_str_split_at`.
Tracking issues: #131516, #131518
Stabilized const API:
```rs
// in `core`
impl str {
// const_is_char_boundary feature
const fn is_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> bool;
// const_str_split_at feature, depends on const_is_char_boundary
const fn split_at(&self, mid: usize) -> (&str, &str);
const fn split_at_mut(&mut self, mid: usize) -> (&mut str, &mut str);
const fn split_at_checked(&self, mid: usize) -> Option<(&str, &str)>;
const fn split_at_mut_checked(&mut self, mid: usize) -> Option<(&mut str, &mut str)>;
}
```
This will allow safely splitting string slices during const-eval.
Closes#131516, Closes#131518
This will need FCP.

IIUC these do not use any new const language features (i.e. they are implementable manually on stable 1.83.0 using `unsafe`: [playground link](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=3679632cd1041084796241b7ac8edfbd)).

Use attributes for `dangling_pointers_from_temporaries` lint
Checking for dangling pointers by function name isn't ideal, and leaves out certain pointer-returning methods that don't follow the `as_ptr` naming convention. Using an attribute for this lint cleans things up and allows more thorough coverage of other methods, such as `UnsafeCell::get()`.
add const_eval_select macro to reduce redundancy
I played around a bit with a macro to make const_eval_select invocations look a bit nicer and avoid repeating the argument lists. Here's what I got. What do you think?
I didn't apply this everywhere yet because I wanted to gather feedback first.
The second commit moves the macros from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132542 into a more sensible place. It didn't seem worth its own PR and would conflict with this PR if done separately.

Operations like is_aligned would return actively wrong results at compile-time,
i.e. calling it on the same pointer at compiletime and runtime could yield
different results. That's no good.
Instead of having hacks to make align_offset kind-of work in const-eval, just
use const_eval_select in the few places where it makes sense, which also ensures
those places are all aware they need to make sure the fallback behavior is
consistent.
get rid of a whole bunch of unnecessary rustc_const_unstable attributes
In general, when a `const fn` is still unstable, it doesn't need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` attribute. The only exception is functions that internally use things that can't be used in stable const fn yet.
So this gets rid of a whole bunch of `#[rustc_const_unstable]` in libcore.
Mark `str::is_char_boundary` and `str::split_at*` unstably `const`.

First commit implements `const_is_char_boundary`, second commit implements `const_str_split_at` (which depends on `const_is_char_boundary`)
~~I used `const_eval_select` for `is_char_boundary` since there is a comment about optimizations that would theoretically not happen with the simple `const`-compatible version (since `slice::get` is not `const`ifiable) cc #84751. I have not checked if this code difference is still required for the optimization, so it might not be worth the code complication, but 🤷.~~
This changes `str::split_at_checked` to use a new private helper function `split_at_unchecked` (copied from `split_at_mut_unchecked`) that does pointer stuff instead of `get_unchecked`, since that is not currently `const`ifiable due to using the `SliceIndex` trait.
optimize str.replace
Adds a fast path for str.replace for the ascii to ascii case. This allows for autovectorizing the code. Also should this instead be done with specialization? This way we could remove one branch. I think it is the kind of branch that is easy to predict though.
Benchmark for the fast path (replace all "a" with "b" in the rust wikipedia article, using criterion) :

Add str.as_str() for easy Deref to string slices
Working with `Box<str>` is cumbersome, because in places like `iter.filter()` it can end up being `&Box<str>` or even `&&Box<str>`, and such type doesn't always get auto-dereferenced as expected.
Dereferencing such box to `&str` requires ugly syntax like `&**boxed_str` or `&***boxed_str`, with the exact amount of `*`s.
`Box<str>` is [not easily comparable with other string types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129852) via `PartialEq`. `Box<str>` won't work for lookups in types like `HashSet<String>`, because `Borrow<String>` won't take types like `&Box<str>`. OTOH `set.contains(s.as_str())` works nicely regardless of levels of indirection.
`String` has a simple solution for this: the `as_str()` method, and `Box<str>` should too.
some const cleanup: remove unnecessary attributes, add const-hack indications
I learned that we use `FIXME(const-hack)` on top of the "const-hack" label. That seems much better since it marks the right place in the code and moves around with the code. So I went through the PRs with that label and added appropriate FIXMEs in the code. IMO this means we can then remove the label -- Cc ``@rust-lang/wg-const-eval.``
I also noticed some const stability attributes that don't do anything useful, and removed them.

Stabilize feature `char_indices_offset`
Stabilized API:
```rust
impl CharIndices<'_> {
pub fn offset(&self) -> usize;
}
```
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83871
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83871
I also attempted to improved the documentation to make it more clear that it returns the offset of the character that will be returned by the next call to `next()`.
