Stabilize assoc_int_consts associated int/float constants
The next step in RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2700 (tracking issue #68490). Stabilizing the associated constants that were added in #68325.
* Stabilize all constants under the `assoc_int_consts` feature flag.
* Update documentation on old constants to say they are soft-deprecated and the new ones should be preferred.
* Update documentation examples to use new constants.
* Remove `uint_macro` and use `int_macro` for all integer types since the macros were identical anyway.

Make `u8::is_ascii` a stable `const fn`
`char::is_ascii` was already stabilized as `const fn` in #55278, so there is no reason for `u8::is_ascii` to go through an unstable period.

Make integer exponentiation methods unstably const
cc #53718
This makes the following inherent methods on integer primitives into unstable `const fn`:
- `pow`
- `checked_pow`
- `wrapping_pow`
- `overflowing_pow`
- `saturating_pow`
- `next_power_of_two`
- `checked_next_power_of_two`
- `wrapping_next_power_of_two`
Only two changes were made to the implementation of these methods. First, I had to switch from the `?` operator, which is not yet implemented in a const context, to a `try_opt` macro. Second, `next_power_of_two` was using `ops::Add::add` (see the first commit) to "get overflow checks", so I switched to `#[rustc_inherit_overflow_checks]`. I'm not quite sure why the attribute wasn't used in the first place.
The contents were always UTF-8 anyway, and &str has an equivalent representation
to &[u8], so this should not affect performance while removing unsafety at
edges.
It may be worth exploring a further adjustment that stores a single byte
(instead of 16) as the contents are always "", "-", or "+".
Move numeric consts to associated consts step1
A subset of #67913. Implements the first step of RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2700
This PR adds the new constants as unstable constants and defines the old ones in terms of the new ones. Then fix a tiny bit of code that started having naming collisions because of the new assoc consts.
Removed a test that did not seem relevant any longer. Since doing just `u8::MIN` should now indeed be valid.
Use matches macro in libcore and libstd
This PR replaces matches like
```rust
match var {
value => true,
_ => false,
}
```
with use of `matches!` macro.

Clean up const-hack PRs now that const if / match exist.
Closes#67627.

reverting their contents to have the match or if expressions they originally contained.
r? @oli-obk
There's one more PR in those tagged with `const-hack` that originally wasn't merged (#65107). Reading the thread, it looks like it was originally closed because the `const-hack` for the checked arithmetic non-negligibly hurt performance, and because there was no way to manipulate the returned Option at compile time anyway (with neither const if nor const match). Would you like me to add these changes to the changes from this PR here too, now that we have the necessary features?
