Add `io::Cursor::{remaining, remaining_slice, is_empty}`
Tracking issue: #86369
I came across an inconvenience when answering the following [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67831170) question.
To get the remaining slice you have to call `buff.fill_buf().unwrap()`. Which in my opinion doesn't really tell you what is returned (in the context of Cursor). To improve readability and convenience when using Cursor i propose adding the method `remaining`.
The next thing i found inconvenient (unnecessary long) was detecting if the cursor reached the end. There are a few ways this can be achieved right now:
- `buff.fill_buf().unwrap().is_empty()`
- `buff.position() >= buff.get_ref().len()`
- `buff.bytes().next().is_none()`
Which all seem a bit unintuitive, hidden in trait documentations or just a bit long for such a simple task.
Therefor i propose another method called `is_empty`, maybe with another name, since this one may leave room for interpretation on what really is empty (the underlying slice, the remaining slice or maybe the position).
Since it seemed easier to create this PR instead of an RFC i did that, if an RFC is wanted, i can close this PR and write an RFC first.
Move `available_concurrency` implementation to `sys`
This splits out the platform-specific implementation of `available_concurrency` to the corresponding platforms under `sys`. No changes are made to the implementation.
Tidy didn't lint against this code being originally added outside of `sys` because of a bug (see #84677), this PR also reverts the exclusion that was introduced in that bugfix.

Move `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` to `std::os`
Moves the `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` traits and implementations from `sys_common` to `os`. `sys_common` is for abstractions over `sys` and shouldn't really contain publicly exported items.
This does introduce some duplication: the traits and implementations are now duplicated in `unix`, `wasi`, `hermit`, and `sgx`. However, I would argue that this duplication is no different to how something like `MetadataExt` is duplicated in `linux`, `vxworkx`, `redox`, `solaris` etc. The duplication also matches the fact that the traits on different platforms are technically distinct types: any platform is free to add it's own extra methods to the extension trait.
Change entry point to 🛡️ against 💥💥-payloads
Guard against panic payloads panicking within entrypoints, where it is
UB to do so.
Note that there are a number of tradeoffs to consider. For instance, I
considered guarding against accidental panics inside the `rt::init` and
`rt::cleanup` code as well, as it is not all that obvious these may not
panic, but doing so would mean that we initialize certain thread-local
slots unconditionally, which has its own problems.
Fixes#86030

Guard against panic payloads panicking within entrypoints, where it is
UB to do so.
Note that there are a number of implementation approaches to consider.
Some simpler, some more complicated. This particular solution is nice in
that it also guards against accidental implementation issues in
various pieces of runtime code, something we cannot prevent statically
right now.

Add has_data_left() to BufRead
This is a continuation of #40747 and also addresses #40745. The problem with the previous PR was that it had "eof" in its method name. This PR uses a more descriptive method name, but I'm open to changing it.
Rely on libc for correct integer types in os/unix/net/ancillary.rs.
This PR is a small maintainability improvement. It simplifies `unix/net/ancillary.rs` in `std` by removing the `cfg_ifs` for casting to the correct integer type, and just rely on libc to define the struct correctly.
Specialize `io::Bytes::size_hint` for more types
Improve the result of `<io::Bytes as Iterator>::size_hint` for some readers. I did not manage to specialize `SizeHint` for `io::Cursor`
Side question: would it be interesting for `io::Read` to have an optional `size_hint` method ?
Linear interpolation
#71016 is a previous attempt at implementation that was closed by the author. I decided to reuse the feature request issue (#71015) as a tracking issue. A member of the rust-lang org will have to edit the original post to be formatted correctly as I am not the issue's original author.
The common name `lerp` is used because it is the term used by most code in a wide variety of contexts; it also happens to be the recently chosen name of the function that was added to C++20.
To ensure symmetry as a method, this breaks the usual ordering of the method from `lerp(a, b, t)` to `t.lerp(a, b)`. This makes the most sense to me personally, and there will definitely be discussion before stabilisation anyway.
Implementing lerp "correctly" is very dififcult even though it's a very common building-block used in all sorts of applications. A good prior reading is [this proposal](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p0811r2.html#linear-interpolation) for the C++20 lerp which talks about the various guarantees, which I've simplified down to:
1. Exactness: `(0.0).lerp(start, end) == start` and `(1.0).lerp(start, end) == end`
2. Consistency: `anything.lerp(x, x) == x`
3. Monotonicity: once you go up don't go down
Fun story: the version provided in that proposal, from what I understand, isn't actually monotonic.
I messed around with a *lot* of different lerp implementations because I kind of got a bit obsessed and I ultimately landed on one that uses the fused `mul_add` instruction. Floating-point lerp lore is hard to come by, so, just trust me when I say that this ticks all the boxes. I'm only 90% certain that it's monotonic, but I'm sure that people who care deeply about this will be there to discuss before stabilisation.
The main reason for using `mul_add` is that, in general, it ticks more boxes with fewer branches to be "correct." Although it will be slower on architectures without the fused `mul_add`, that's becoming more and more rare and I have a feeling that most people who will find themselves needing `lerp` will also have an efficient `mul_add` instruction available.
Rename IoSlice(Mut)::advance to advance_slice and add IoSlice(Mut)::advance
Also changes the signature of `advance_slice` to accept a `&mut &mut [IoSlice]`, not returning anything. This will better match the `IoSlice::advance` function.

Link reference in `dyn` keyword documentation
The "read more" sentence formatted "object safety" as inline code
instead of providing a link to more information. This PR adds a link
to the Reference about this matter, as well as the page regarding trait
objects.
---
We could also put these links in the very first line (instead of the link to the
Book) and in the first paragraph which mentions the "object safe" requirement.
Personally, I think it's good to keep the link to the Book up-front as it's more
accessible than the Reference.
optimize Eq implementation for paths
Filesystems generally have a tree-ish structure which means paths are more likely to share a prefix than a suffix. Absolute paths are especially prone to share long prefixes.
quick benchmark consisting of a search through through a vec containing the absolute paths of all (1850) files in `compiler/`:
```
# old
test path::tests::bench_path_cmp ... bench: 227,407 ns/iter (+/- 2,162)
# new
test path::tests::bench_path_cmp ... bench: 64,976 ns/iter (+/- 1,142)

Remove `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`
Removes the unstable method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`, see also #85604 where I have tried to summarize related discussion so far.
Unicast site-local addresses (`fec0::/10`) were deprecated in [IETF RFC #3879](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3879), see also [RFC #4291 Section 2.5.7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.7). Any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses. This is mentioned in the docs of `is_unicast_site_local` and already implemented in `is_unicast_global`, which considers addresses in `fec0::/10` to have global scope, thus overlapping with `is_unicast_site_local`.
Given that RFC #3879 was published in 2004, long before Rust existed, and it is specified that any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses, I don't see how a user would ever have a need for `is_unicast_site_local`. It is also confusing that currently both `is_unicast_site_local` and `is_unicast_global` can be `true` for an address, but an address can actually only have a single scope. The deprecating RFC mentions that Site-Local scope was confusing to work with and that the classification of an address as either Link-Local or Global better matches the mental model of users.
There has been earlier discussion of removing `is_unicast_site_local` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60145#issuecomment-485970669) which decided against it, but that had the incorrect assumption that the method was already stable; it is not. (This confusion arose from the placement of the unstable attribute on the entire module, instead of on individual methods, resolved in #85672)

Stabilize {std, core}::prelude::rust_*.
This stabilizes the `{core, std}::prelude::{rust_2015, rust_2018, rust_2021}` modules.
The usage of these modules as the prelude in those editions was already stabilized. This just stabilizes the modules themselves, making it possible for a user to explicitly refer to them.

Explain non-dropped sender recv in docs
Original senders that are still hanging around could cause
Receiver::recv to not block since this is a potential footgun
for beginners, clarify more on this in the docs for readers to
be aware about it.
Maybe it would be better to show an example of the pattern where `drop(tx)` is used when it is being cloned multiple times? Although I have seen it in quite a few articles but I am surprised that this part is not very clear with the current words without careful reading.
> If the corresponding Sender has disconnected, or it disconnects while this call is blocking, this call will wake up and return Err to indicate that no more messages can ever be received on this channel. However, since channels are buffered, messages sent before the disconnect will still be properly received.
Some words there may seemed similar if I carefully read and relate it but if I am new, I probably does not know "drop" makes it "disconnected". So I mention the words "drop" and "alive" to make it more relatable to lifetime.

Updated code examples and wording in move keyword documentation
Had a conversation with someone on the Rust Discord who was confused by the move keyword documentation. Some of the wording is odd sounding ("owned by value" - what else can something be owned by?). Also, some of the examples used Copy types when demonstrating move, leading to variables still being accessible in the outer scope after the move, contradicting the examples' comments.
I changed the move keyword documentation a bit, removing that odd wording and changing all the examples to use non-Copy types
Multiple improvements to RwLocks
This PR replicates #77147, #77380 and #84650 on RWLocks :
- Split `sys_common::RWLock` in `StaticRWLock` and `MovableRWLock`
- Unbox rwlocks on some platforms (Windows, Wasm and unsupported)
- Simplify `RwLock::into_inner`
Notes to reviewers :
- For each target, I copied `MovableMutex` to guess if `MovableRWLock` should be boxed.
- ~A comment says that `StaticMutex` is not re-entrant, I don't understand why and I don't know whether it applies to `StaticRWLock`.~

Add `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast`
Adds an unstable utility method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast` under the feature flag `ip` (tracking issue: #27709).
Added for completeness with the other unicast methods (see also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85604#issuecomment-848220455) and opposite of `is_multicast`.
