Rollup merge of #76932 - fusion-engineering-forks:condvar-promise, r=sfackler
Relax promises about condition variable.

For quite a while now, there have been plans to at some point use parking_lot or some other more efficient implementation of mutexes and condition variables. Right now, Mutex and CondVar both Box the 'real' mutex/condvar inside, to give it a stable address. This was done because implementations like pthread and Windows critical sections may not be moved. More efficient implementations based on futexes, WaitOnAddress, Windows SRW locks, parking_lot, etc. may be moved (while not borrowed), so wouldn't need boxing.

However, not boxing them (which would be great goal to achieve), breaks a promise std currently makes about CondVar. CondVar promises to panic when used with different mutexes, to ensure consistent behaviour on all platforms. To this check, a mutex is considered 'the same' if the address of the 'real mutex' in the Box is the same. This address doesn't change when moving a `std::mutex::Mutex` object, effectively giving it an identity that survives moves of the Mutex object. If we ever switch to a non-boxed version, they no longer carry such an identity, and this check can no longer be made.

Four options:
1. Always box mutexes.
2. Add a `MutexId` similar to `ThreadId`. Making mutexes bigger, and making it hard to ever have a `const fn new` for them.
3. Making the requirement of CondVar stricter: panic if the Mutex object itself moved.
4. Making the promise of CondVar weaker: don't promise to panic.

1, 2, and 3 seem like bad options. This PR updates the documentation for 4.

Rollup merge of #76936 - danielhenrymantilla:unsafecell_get_mut, r=RalfJung
Add non-`unsafe` `.get_mut()` for `Unsafecell`

  - Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76943

As discussed in: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-non-unsafe-get-mut-for-unsafecell/12407

  - ### [Rendered documentation](https://modest-dubinsky-1f9f47.netlify.app/core/cell/struct.unsafecell)

This PR tries to move the sound `&mut UnsafeCell<T> -> &mut T` projection that all the "downstream" constructions were already relying on, up to the root abstraction, where it rightfully belongs, and officially blessing it.

  - this **helps reduce the amount of `unsafe` snippets out there** (_c.f._, the second commit of this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76936/commits/09503fd1b30c83ca605546fa3f899721e41e68c6)

The fact that this getter is now expose for `UnsafeCell<T>` itself, will also help convey the idea that **`UnsafeCell` is not magical _w.r.t._ `&mut` accesses**, contrary to what some people incorrectly think.

  - Even the standard library itself at some point had such a confusion, _c.f._ this comment where there is a mention of multi-threaded (and thus _shared_) access despite dealing with exclusive references over unique ownership: 59fb88d061/library/core/src/cell.rs (L498-L499)

This allows for futex or thread parking based implementations in the
future.

aa68aaa8e1 Mark Once::new as #[inline].
Without this, it was not inlined in SyncOnceCell::into_inner(), causing
unecessary checks and dead code.

aa81d32165 Auto merge of #76128 - poliorcetics:doc-use-arc-clone, r=KodrAus
Use Arc::clone and Rc::clone in documentation

This PR replaces uses of `x.clone()` by `Rc::clone(&x)` (or `Arc::clone(&x)`) to better match the documentation for those types.
