Fix generic bound of `str::SplitInclusive`'s `DoubleEndedIterator` impl
`str::SplitInclusive`'s `DoubleEndedIterator` implementation currently uses a `ReverseSearcher` bound for the corresponding searcher. A `DoubleEndedSearcher` bound should have been used instead.
`DoubleEndedIterator` requires that repeated `next_back` calls produce the same items as repeated `next` calls, in opposite order. `ReverseSearcher` lets you search starting from the back of a string, but it makes no guarantees about how its matches correspond to the matches found by a forward search. `DoubleEndedSearcher` is a subtrait of `ReverseSearcher` and does require that the same matches are found in both directions.
This bug fix is a breaking change. Calling `next_back` on `"a+++b".split_inclusive("++")` is currently accepted with repeated calls producing `"b"` and `"a+++"`, while forward iteration yields `"a++"` and `"+b"`. Also see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/100756#issuecomment-1221307166 for more details.
I believe that this is the only iterator that uses this bound incorrectly — other related iterators such as `str::Split` do have a `DoubleEndedSearcher` bound for their `DoubleEndedIterator` implementation. And `slice::SplitInclusive` doesn't face this problem at all because it doesn't use patterns, only a predicate.

Clarify example in docs of str::char_slice
Just a one word improvement.
“Last” can be misread as meaning the last (third) instead of the previous (first).
Make useless_ptr_null_checks smarter about some std functions
This teaches the `useless_ptr_null_checks` lint that some std functions can't ever return null pointers, because they need to point to valid data, get references as input, etc.
This is achieved by introducing an `#[rustc_never_returns_null_ptr]` attribute and adding it to these std functions (gated behind bootstrap `cfg_attr`).
Later on, the attribute could maybe be used to tell LLVM that the returned pointer is never null. I don't expect much impact of that though, as the functions are pretty shallow and usually the input data is already never null.

Add `suggestion` for some `#[deprecated]` items
Consider code:
```rust
fn main() {
let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
}
```
Currently it shows deprecated warning:
```rust
warning: use of deprecated method `std::slice::<impl [T]>::connect`: renamed to join
--> src/main.rs:2:24
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
| ^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(deprecated)]` on by default
```
This PR adds `suggestion` for `connect` and some other deprecated items, so the warning will be changed to this:
```rust
warning: use of deprecated method `std::slice::<impl [T]>::connect`: renamed to join
--> src/main.rs:2:24
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
| ^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(deprecated)]` on by default
help: replace the use of the deprecated method
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].join(" ");
| ^^^^
```
Don't panic in ceil_char_boundary
Implementing the alternative mentioned in this comment: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93743#issuecomment-1579935853
Since `floor_char_boundary` will always work (rounding down to the length of the string is possible), it feels best for `ceil_char_boundary` to not panic either. However, the semantics of "rounding up" past the length of the string aren't very great, which is why the method originally panicked in these cases.
Taking into account how people are using this method, it feels best to simply return the end of the string in these cases, so that the result is still a valid char boundary.

`Split*::as_str` refactor
I've made this patch almost a year ago, so the rename and the behavior change are in one commit, sorry 😅
This fixes#84974, as it's required to make other changes work.
This PR
- Renames `as_str` method of string `Split*` iterators to `remainder` (it seems like the `as_str` name was confusing to users)
- Makes `remainder` return `Option<&str>`, to distinguish between "the iterator is exhausted" and "the tail is empty", this was [required on the tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77998#issuecomment-832696619)
r? `@m-ou-se`
Previously, the str.lines() docstring stated that lines are split at line
endings, but not whether those were returned or not. This new version of the
docstring states this explicitly, avoiding the need of getting to doctests to
get an answer to this FAQ.
This commit
- Renames `Split*::{as_str -> remainder}` as it seems less confusing
- Makes `remainder` return Option<&str> to distinguish between
"iterator is exhausted" and "the tail is empty"
Add slice to the stack allocated string comment
Precise that the "stack allocated string" is not a string but a string slice.
