Change `Rc::inc_{weak,strong}` to better hint optimization to LLVM
As discussed in #13018, `Rc::inc_strong` and `Rc::inc_weak` are changed to allow compositions of `clone` and `drop` to be better optimized. Almost entirely as in [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/13018#issuecomment-408642184), except that `abort` on zero is added so that a `drop(t.clone())` does not produce a zero check followed by conditional deallocation.
This is different from #21418 in that it doesn't rely on `assume`, avoiding the prohibitive compilation slowdown.
[Before and after IR](https://gist.github.com/hermord/266e55451b7fe0bb8caa6e35d17c86e1).
Non-naive implementation of `VecDeque.append`
Replaces the old, simple implementation with a more manual (and **unsafe** 😱) one. I've added 1 more test and verified that it covers all 6 code paths in the function.
This new implementation was about 60% faster than the old naive one when I tried benchmarking it.
There are a few places where we mention the replacement character in the
docs, and it could be helpful for users to utilize the constant which is
available in the standard library, so let’s link to it!
Rename Executor trait to Spawn
Renames the `Executor` trait to `Spawn` and the method on `Context` to `spawner`.
Note: Best only merge this after we've the alpha 3 announcement post ready.

Incorporate a stray test
`liballoc/repeat-generic-slice.rs` doesn't seem to be tested (I think it was intended to be placed in `run-pass`). This PR incorporates the test into `liballoc/tests`.
Rollup of bare_trait_objects PRs
All deny attributes were moved into bootstrap so they can be disabled with a line of config.
Warnings for external tools are allowed and it's up to the tool's maintainer to keep it warnings free.

doc: Clarify the lifetime returned by `Box::leak`
`Box::leak` mentions that it can return a `'static` reference, but it
wasn't immediately clear to me why it doesn't always do so. This is
because of the `T: 'a` constraint needed to form a valid reference, and
in general we want to be more flexible than requiring `T: 'static`.
This patch tries to clarify the relationship between `T` and `'a`.
Deprecation of str::slice_unchecked(_mut)
Closes#51715
I am not sure if 1.28.0 or 1.29.0 should be used for deprecation version, for now it's 1.28.0.
Additionally I've replaced `slice_unchecked` uses with `get_unchecked`. The only places where this method is still used are `src/liballoc/tests/str.rs` and `src/liballoc/tests/str.rs`.
Handle array manually in str case conversion methods
Avoiding the overhead incurred from `String.extend(char.to_lowercase())` showed a notable performance improvement when I benchmarked it.
I tested on these strings:
```rust
ALL_LOWER: "loremipsumdolorsitametduosensibusmnesarchumabcdefgh"
ALL_UPPER: "LOREMIPSUMDOLORSITAMETDUOSENSIBUSMNESARCHUMABCDEFGH"
REALISTIC_UPPER: "LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET, DUO SENSIBUS MNESARCHUM"
SIGMAS: "ΣΣΣΣΣ ΣΣΣΣΣ ΣΣΣΣΣ ΣΣΣ ΣΣΣΣ, ΣΣΣ ΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣ ΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣ"
WORD_UPPER: "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet, Duo Sensibus Mnesarchum"
```
the performance improvements of `to_lowercase()` were
```

I gave up on the more advanced method from #52061 as it wasn't always a clear improvement and would help in even less cases if this PR was merged.
`Box::leak` mentions that it can return a `'static` reference, but it
wasn't immediately clear to me why it doesn't always do so. This is
because of the `T: 'a` constraint needed to form a valid reference, and
in general we want to be more flexible than requiring `T: 'static`.
This patch tries to clarify the relationship between `T` and `'a`.
Add the `alloc::prelude` module
It contains the re-exports that are in `std::prelude::v1` but not in `core::prelude::v1`.
Calling it prelude is somewhat of a misnomer since (unlike those modules in `std` or `core`) its contents are never implicitly imported in modules. Rather it is intended to be used with an explicit glob import like `use alloc::prelude::*;`. However there is precedent for the same misnomer with `std::io::prelude`, for example.
This new module is unstable with the same feature name as the `alloc` care. They are proposed for stabilization together in RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2480.
