This removes a cause of `unwrap` and code complexity.
This allows replacing
```
option_value = Some(build());
option_value.as_mut().unwrap()
```
with
```
option_value.insert(build())
```
or
```
option_value.insert_with(build)
```
It's also useful in contexts not requiring the mutability of the reference.
Here's a typical cache example:
```
let checked_cache = cache.as_ref().filter(|e| e.is_valid());
let content = match checked_cache {
Some(e) => &e.content,
None => {
cache = Some(compute_cache_entry());
// unwrap is OK because we just filled the option
&cache.as_ref().unwrap().content
}
};
```
It can be changed into
```
let checked_cache = cache.as_ref().filter(|e| e.is_valid());
let content = match checked_cache {
Some(e) => &e.content,
None => &cache.insert_with(compute_cache_entry).content,
};
```
Explicitly document the size guarantees that Option makes.
Triggered by a discussion on wg-unsafe-code-guidelines about which layouts of `Option<T>` one can guarantee are optimised to a single pointer.

Stabilize the following methods of `Option` as const:
- `is_some`
- `is_none`
- `as_ref`
Possible because of stabilization of #49146 (Allow if and match in constants).
This commit adds new lang items which will be used in AST lowering once
`QPath::LangItem` is introduced.

`Result::unwrap` is not eligible becuase it formats the contents of the
`Err` variant. `unwrap_or`, `unwrap_or_else` and friends are not
eligible because they drop things or invoke closures.
