When possible without changing semantics, implement Iterator::last in terms of DoubleEndedIterator::next_back for types in liballoc and libcore.
Provided that the iterator has finite length and does not trigger user-provided code, this is safe.

Implement specialized nth_back() for Box and Windows.
Hi there, this is my first pull request to rust :-)
I started implementing some specializations for DoubleEndedIterator::nth_back() and these are the first two. The problem has been discussed in #54054 and nth_back() is tracked in #56995.
I'm stuck with the next implementation so I though I do a PR for the ones I'm confident with to get some feedback.
Clarify guarantees for `Box` allocation
This basically says `Box` does the obvious things for its allocations.
See also: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/alloc-crate-guarantees/24981
This may require a T-libs FCP? Not sure.

fix Box::into_unique effecitvely transmuting to a raw ptr
Miri/Stacked Borrows treat `Box` specially: they assert that it is unique, and tag it appropriately. However, currently, `Box::into_inner` is not aware of that and returns a raw pointer (wrapped in a `Unique`) that carries the same tag as the box, meaning it carries a `Uniq` tag. This leads to all sorts of problems when people use the raw pointer they get out of the `Unique` type.
In the future, it'd be interesting to make `Unique` also carry some kind of uniqueness. In that case, something like this would instead be needed whenever a raw pointer is extracted from a `Unique`. However, that is out-of-scope for the current version of Stacked Borrows. So until then, this changes `into_unique` to perform a proper reference-to-raw-ptr-cast, which clears the tag.
This change updates the future and task API as discussed in the stabilization RFC at https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2592.
Changes:
- Replacing UnsafeWake with RawWaker and RawWakerVtable
- Removal of LocalWaker
- Removal of Arc-based Wake trait
box: Add documentation for `From` impls
This is a part of #51430. A brief description of the behaviour and examples are added to the documentation.
I am not sure what sort of examples to put for the `From` for `Pin` as my [code](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2015&gist=97c908f44e41c9faeffec5b61d72a03e) doesn't even manage to compile using the nightly build.
Somehow I feel that I missed out something so do let me know if more information is needed in the documentation or any of the examples require change.
This lets you write methods using `self: Rc<Self>`, `self: Arc<Self>`, `self: Pin<&mut Self>`, `self: Pin<Box<Self>`, and other combinations involving `Pin` and another stdlib receiver type, without needing the `arbitrary_self_types`. Other user-created receiver types can be used, but they still require the feature flag to use.
This is implemented by introducing a new trait, `Receiver`, which the method receiver's type must implement if the `arbitrary_self_types` feature is not enabled. To keep composed receiver types such as `&Arc<Self>` unstable, the receiver type is also required to implement `Deref<Target=Self>` when the feature flag is not enabled.
This lets you use `self: Rc<Self>` and `self: Arc<Self>` in stable Rust, which was not allowed previously. It was agreed that they would be stabilized in #55786. `self: Pin<&Self>` and other pinned receiver types do not require the `arbitrary_self_types` feature, but they cannot be used on stable because `Pin` still requires the `pin` feature.
