Improve the documentation of `black_box`
There don't seem to be many great resources on how `black_box` should be used, so I added some information here
Unify stable and unstable sort implementations in same core module
This moves the stable sort implementation to the core::slice::sort module. By virtue of being in core it can't access `Vec`. The two `Vec` used by merge sort, `buf` and `runs`, are modelled as custom types that implement the very limited required `Vec` interface with the help of provided allocation and free functions. This is done to allow future re-use of functions and logic between stable and unstable sort. Such as `insert_head`.
This is in preparation of #100856 and #104116. It only moves code, it *doesn't* change any of the sort related logic. This unlocks the ability to share `insert_head`, `insert_tail`, `swap_if_less` `merge` and more.
Tagging ````@Mark-Simulacrum```` I hope this allows progress on #100856, by moving `merge_sort` here I hope future changes will be easier to review.
- Eliminates all the `get_context` calls that async lowering created.
- Replace all `Local` `ResumeTy` types with `&mut Context<'_>`.
The `Local`s that have their types replaced are:
- The `resume` argument itself.
- The argument to `get_context`.
- The yielded value of a `yield`.
The `ResumeTy` hides a `&mut Context<'_>` behind an unsafe raw pointer, and the
`get_context` function is being used to convert that back to a `&mut Context<'_>`.
Ideally the async lowering would not use the `ResumeTy`/`get_context` indirection,
but rather directly use `&mut Context<'_>`, however that would currently
lead to higher-kinded lifetime errors.
See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/105501>.
The async lowering step and the type / lifetime inference / checking are
still using the `ResumeTy` indirection for the time being, and that indirection
is removed here. After this transform, the generator body only knows about `&mut Context<'_>`.
Lift `T: Sized` bounds from some `strict_provenance` pointer methods
This PR removes requirement for `T` (pointee type) to be `Sized` to call `pointer::{addr, expose_addr, with_addr, map_addr}`. These functions don't use `T`'s size, so there is no reason for them to require this. Updated public API:

Add heapsort fallback in `select_nth_unstable`
Addresses #102451 and #106933.
`slice::select_nth_unstable` uses a quick select implementation based on the same pattern defeating quicksort algorithm that `slice::sort_unstable` uses. `slice::sort_unstable` uses a recursion limit and falls back to heapsort if there were too many bad pivot choices, to ensure O(n log n) worst case running time (known as introsort). However, `slice::select_nth_unstable` does not have such a fallback strategy, which leads to it having a worst case running time of O(n²) instead. #102451 links to a playground which generates pathological inputs that show this quadratic behavior. On my machine, a randomly generated slice of length `1 << 19` takes ~200µs to calculate its median, whereas a pathological input of the same length takes over 2.5s. This PR adds an iteration limit to `select_nth_unstable`, falling back to heapsort, which ensures an O(n log n) worst case running time (introselect). With this change, there was no noticable slowdown for the random input, but the same pathological input now takes only ~1.2ms. In the future it might be worth implementing something like Median of Medians or Fast Deterministic Selection instead, which guarantee O(n) running time for all possible inputs. I've left this as a `FIXME` for now and only implemented the heapsort fallback to minimize the needed code changes.
I still think we should clarify in the `select_nth_unstable` docs that the worst case running time isn't currently O(n) (the original reason that #102451 was opened), but I think it's a lot better to be able to guarantee O(n log n) instead of O(n²) for the worst case.
Remove various double spaces in the libraries.
I was just pretty bothered by this when reading the source for a function, and was suggested to check if this happened elsewhere.
reword Option::as_ref and Option::map examples
The description for the examples of `Option::as_ref` and `Option::map` imply that the example is only doing type conversion, when it is actually finding the length of a string.
Changes the wording to imply that some operation is being run on the value contained in the `Option`

Stabilize `::{core,std}::pin::pin!`
As discussed [over here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93178#issuecomment-1295843548), it looks like a decent time to stabilize the `pin!` macro.
### Public API
```rust
// in module `core::pin`
/// API: `fn pin<T>($value: T) -> Pin<&'local mut T>`
pub macro pin($value:expr $(,)?) {
…
}
```
- Tracking issue: #93178
(now all this needs is an FCP by the proper team?)
doc: rewrite doc for signed int::{carrying_add,borrowing_sub}
Reword the documentation for bigint helper methods, signed `int::{carrying_add,borrowing_sub}` (#85532).
This change is a follow-up to #101889, which was for the unsigned methods.
Don't derive Debug for `OnceWith` & `RepeatWith`
Closures don't impl Debug, so the derived impl is kinda useless. The behavior of not debug-printing closures is consistent with the rest of the iterator adapters/sources.
Suggest `impl Fn*` and `impl Future` in `-> _` return suggestions
Follow-up to #106172, only the last commit is relevant. Can rebase once that PR is landed for easier review.
Suggests `impl Future` and `impl Fn{,Mut,Once}` in `-> _` return suggestions.

default OOM handler: use non-unwinding panic, to match std handler
The OOM handler in std will by default abort. This adjusts the default in liballoc to do the same, using the `can_unwind` flag on the panic info to indicate a non-unwinding panic.
In practice this probably makes little difference since the liballoc default will only come into play in no-std situations where people write a custom panic handler, which most likely will not implement unwinding. But still, this seems more consistent.
