Have `String` use `SliceIndex` impls from `str`
This PR simplifies the implementation of `Index` and `IndexMut` on `String`, and in the process enables indexing `String` by any user types that implement `SliceIndex<str>`.
Similar to #47832

Not sure if this warrants a crater run.
Help with common API confusion, like asking for `push` when the data structure really has `append`.

#59450
Add explicit-endian String::from_utf16 variants
This adds the following APIs under `feature(str_from_utf16_endian)`:
```rust
impl String {
pub fn from_utf16le(v: &[u8]) -> Result<String, FromUtf16Error>;
pub fn from_utf16le_lossy(v: &[u8]) -> String;
pub fn from_utf16be(v: &[u8]) -> Result<String, FromUtf16Error>;
pub fn from_utf16be_lossy(v: &[u8]) -> String;
}
```
These are versions of `String::from_utf16` that explicitly take [UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE](https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#gen7). Notably, we can do better than just the obvious `decode_utf16(v.array_chunks::<2>().copied().map(u16::from_le_bytes)).collect()` in that:
- We handle the case where the byte slice is not an even number of bytes, and
- In the case that the UTF-16 is native endian and the slice is aligned, we can forward to `String::from_utf16`.
If the Unicode Consortium actively defines how to handle character replacement when decoding a UTF-16 bytestream with a trailing odd byte, I was unable to find reference. However, the behavior implemented here is fairly self-evidently correct: replace the single errant byte with the replacement character.
The status quo is highly confusing, since the overlap is not apparent,
and specialization is not a feature of Rust. This addresses #87545;
I'm not certain if it closes it, since that issue might also be trackign
a *general* solution for hiding specializing impls automatically.
Stabilize String::leak
Stabilizes the following API:
```Rust
impl String {
pub fn leak(self) -> &'static mut str;
}
```
closes#102929
blocked by having an FCP for stabilization.
Specialize ToString implementation for fmt::Arguments
Generates far fewer instructions by formatting into a String with `fmt::format` directly instead of going through the `fmt::Display` impl. This change is insta-stable.
enable `rust_2018_idioms` lint group for doctests
With this change, `rust_2018_idioms` lint group will be enabled for compiler/libstd doctests.

Use associated items of `char` instead of freestanding items in `core::char`
The associated functions and constants on `char` have been stable since 1.52 and the freestanding items have soft-deprecated since 1.62 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95566). This PR ~~marks them as "deprecated in future", similar to the integer and floating point modules (`core::{i32, f32}` etc)~~ replaces all uses of `core::char::*` with `char::*` to prepare for future deprecation of `core::char::*`.
