Initial support for `..=` syntax
#28237
This PR adds `..=` as a synonym for `...` in patterns and expressions.
Since `...` in expressions was never stable, we now issue a warning.

Many of the iterator adaptors will perform faster folds if they forward
to their inner iterator's folds, especially for inner types like `Chain`
which are optimized too. The following types are newly specialized:
| Type | `fold` | `rfold` |
| ----------- | ------ | ------- |
| `Enumerate` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Filter` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `FilterMap` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `FlatMap` | exists | ✓ |
| `Fuse` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Inspect` | ✓ | ✓ |
| `Peekable` | ✓ | N/A¹ |
| `Skip` | ✓ | N/A² |
| `SkipWhile` | ✓ | N/A¹ |
¹ not a `DoubleEndedIterator`
² `Skip::next_back` doesn't pull skipped items at all, but this couldn't
be avoided if `Skip::rfold` were to call its inner iterator's `rfold`.
Benchmarks
----------
In the following results, plain `_sum` computes the sum of a million
integers -- note that `sum()` is implemented with `fold()`. The
`_ref_sum` variants do the same on a `by_ref()` iterator, which is
limited to calling `next()` one by one, without specialized `fold`.
The `chain` variants perform the same tests on two iterators chained
together, to show a greater benefit of forwarding `fold` internally.

No other iterator makes the distinction between an iterator and an iterator adapter
in its summary line, so change it to be consistent with all other adapters.
This verifies that TrustedRandomAccess has no side effects when the
iterator item implements Copy. This also implements TrustedLen and
TrustedRandomAccess for str::Bytes.
Less confusing placeholder when RefCell is exclusively borrowed
Based on ExpHP's comment in [*RefCell.borrow_mut get strange result*](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/refcell-borrow-mut-get-strange-result/12994):
> it would perhaps be nicer if it didn't put something that could be misinterpreted as a valid string value
The previous Debug implementation would show:
RefCell { value: "<borrowed>" }
The new one is:
RefCell { value: <borrowed> }
Expand size_of docs
This PR does 3 things.
1. Adds a description of what pointer size means to the primitive pages for usize and isize.
2. Says the general size of things is not stable from compiler to compiler.
3. Adds a table of sizes of things that we do guarantee. As this is the first table in the libstd docs, I've included a picture of how that looks.

Add ..= to the parser
Add ..= to libproc_macro
Add ..= to ICH
Highlight ..= in rustdoc
Update impl Debug for RangeInclusive to ..=
Replace `...` to `..=` in range docs
Make the dotdoteq warning point to the ...
Add warning for ... in expressions
Updated more tests to the ..= syntax
Updated even more tests to the ..= syntax
Updated the inclusive_range entry in unstable book

Add iterator method .rfold(init, function); the reverse of fold
rfold is the reverse version of fold.
Fold allows iterators to implement a different (non-resumable) internal
iteration when it is more efficient than the external iteration implemented
through the next method. (Common examples are VecDeque and .chain()).
Introduce rfold() so that the same customization is available for reverse
iteration. This is achieved by both adding the method, and by having the
Rev\<I> adaptor connect Rev::rfold → I::fold and Rev::fold → I::rfold.
On the surface, rfold(..) is just .rev().fold(..), but the special case
implementations allow a data structure specific fold to be used through for
example .iter().rev(); we thus have gains even for users never calling exactly
rfold themselves.
There are many cases where a buffer with a static compile-time size is
preferred over a slice with a dynamic size. This allows for performing
a checked conversion from &[T] to &[T; N].
This may also lead to compile-time optimizations involving [T; N] such
as loop unrolling.

Adaptors are things that take iterators and adapt them into other
iterators. With this definition, fold is just a usual method, because it
doesn't normally make an iterator.
Replace str's transmute() calls with pointer casts
After the following conversation in #rust-lang:
```
[14:43:50] <Ixrec> TIL the implementation of from_utf_unchecked is literally just "mem::transmute(x)"
[14:43:59] <Ixrec> no wonder people keep saying transmute is overpowered
[15:15:30] <eddyb> Ixrec: it should be a pointer cast lol
[15:15:46] <eddyb> unless it doesn't let you
[16:50:34] <Ixrec> https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=d1e6b629ad9ec1baf64ce261c63845e6&version=stable seems like it does let me
[16:52:35] <eddyb> Ixrec: yeah that's the preferred impl
[16:52:46] <eddyb> Ixrec: it just wasn't in 1.0
[16:52:50] <eddyb> IIRC
[16:53:00] <eddyb> (something something fat pointers)
```
Since I already wrote half of the preferred impls in the playground, might as well make an actual PR.

stabilized compiler_fences (fixes#41091)
I did not know what to proceed with "unstable-book" entry. The feature would no longer be unstable so I have deleted it. If it was the wrong call I'll revert it (unfortunately his case is not described in the CONTRIBUTING.md).
stabilized iterator_for_each (closes#42986)
Also updated clippy and rls as these use the iterator_for_each
I've made my first PR's today so most likely I've done something wrong. Sorry about that!
Customize `<FlatMap as Iterator>::fold`
`FlatMap` can use internal iteration for its `fold`, which shows a
performance advantage in the new benchmarks:
test iter::bench_flat_map_chain_ref_sum ... bench: 4,354,111 ns/iter (+/- 108,871)
test iter::bench_flat_map_chain_sum ... bench: 468,167 ns/iter (+/- 2,274)
test iter::bench_flat_map_ref_sum ... bench: 449,616 ns/iter (+/- 6,257)
test iter::bench_flat_map_sum ... bench: 348,010 ns/iter (+/- 1,227)
... where the "ref" benches are using `by_ref()` that isn't optimized.
So this change shows a decent advantage on its own, but much more when
combined with a `chain` iterator that also optimizes `fold`.
Remove Borrow bound from SliceExt::binary_search
#37761 added a Borrow bound to `binary_search` and `binary_search_by_key` in `core::SliceExt`, but did not add it to the methods in `std::slice`. #41590 attempted to add this bound to `std::slice` but was not merged due to breakage. This PR removes the bound in `core::SliceExt`, so that these methods will have the same signature in `core` and `std`.
Fixes#41561
