VecDeque: fix for stacked borrows
`VecDeque` violates a version of stacked borrows where creating a shared reference is not enough to make a location *mutably accessible* from raw pointers (and I think that is the version we want). There are two problems:
* Creating a `NonNull<T>` from `&mut T` goes through `&T` (inferred for a `_`), then `*const T`, then `NonNull<T>`. That means in this stricter version of Stacked Borrows, we cannot actually write to such a `NonNull` because it was created from a shared reference! This PR fixes that by going from `&mut T` to `*mut T` to `*const T`.
* `VecDeque::drain` creates the `Drain` struct by *first* creating a `NonNull` from `self` (which is an `&mut VecDeque`), and *then* calling `self.buffer_as_mut_slice()`. The latter reborrows `self`, asserting that `self` is currently the unique pointer to access this `VecDeque`, and hence invalidating the `NonNull` that was created earlier. This PR fixes that by instead using `self.buffer_as_slice()`, which only performs read accesses and creates only shared references, meaning the raw pointer (`NonNull`) remains valid.
It is possible that other methods on `VecDeque` do something similar, miri's test coverage of `VecDeque` is sparse to say the least.

Ever since we added a Cargo-based build system for the compiler the
standard library has always been a little special, it's never been able
to depend on crates.io crates for runtime dependencies. This has been a
result of various limitations, namely that Cargo doesn't understand that
crates from crates.io depend on libcore, so Cargo tries to build crates
before libcore is finished.
I had an idea this afternoon, however, which lifts the strategy
from #52919 to directly depend on crates.io crates from the standard
library. After all is said and done this removes a whopping three
submodules that we need to manage!
The basic idea here is that for any crate `std` depends on it adds an
*optional* dependency on an empty crate on crates.io, in this case named
`rustc-std-workspace-core`. This crate is overridden via `[patch]` in
this repository to point to a local crate we write, and *that* has a
`path` dependency on libcore.
Note that all `no_std` crates also depend on `compiler_builtins`, but if
we're not using submodules we can publish `compiler_builtins` to
crates.io and all crates can depend on it anyway! The basic strategy
then looks like:
* The standard library (or some transitive dep) decides to depend on a
crate `foo`.
* The standard library adds
```toml
[dependencies]
foo = { version = "0.1", features = ['rustc-dep-of-std'] }
```
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `rustc-std-workspace-core`
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `compiler_builtins`
* The crate `foo` has a feature `rustc-dep-of-std` which activates these
crates and any other necessary infrastructure in the crate.
A sample commit for `dlmalloc` [turns out to be quite simple][commit].
After that all `no_std` crates should largely build "as is" and still be
publishable on crates.io! Notably they should be able to continue to use
stable Rust if necessary, since the `rename-dependency` feature of Cargo
is soon stabilizing.
As a proof of concept, this commit removes the `dlmalloc`,
`libcompiler_builtins`, and `libc` submodules from this repository. Long
thorns in our side these are now gone for good and we can directly
depend on crates.io! It's hoped that in the long term we can bring in
other crates as necessary, but for now this is largely intended to
simply make it easier to manage these crates and remove submodules.
This should be a transparent non-breaking change for all users, but one
possible stickler is that this almost for sure breaks out-of-tree
`std`-building tools like `xargo` and `cargo-xbuild`. I think it should
be relatively easy to get them working, however, as all that's needed is
an entry in the `[patch]` section used to build the standard library.
Hopefully we can work with these tools to solve this problem!

Hopefully just another routine update!
So far this starts to enable the `std::arch` in stage0 builds of rustc.
This means that we may need stage0/not(stage0) in stdsimd itself, but
more and more code is starting to use `std::arch` so I think it's time
to start shifting the balance of work here.

codegen: Fix va_list - aarch64 iOS/Windows
## Summary
Fix code generated for `VaList` on Aarch64 iOS/Windows.
## Details
According to the [Apple - ARM64 Function Calling Conventions]:
> ... the type va_list is an alias for char * rather than for the struct
> type specified in the generic PCS.
The current implementation uses the generic Aarch64 structure for `VaList`
for Aarch64 iOS. Switch to using the `char *` variant of the `VaList`
and use the corresponding `emit_ptr_va_arg` for the `va_arg` intrinsic.
Windows always uses the `char *` variant of the `VaList`. Update the `va_arg`
intrinsic to use `emit_ptr_va_arg`.
[Apple - ARM64 Function Calling Conventions]: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iPhoneOSABIReference/Articles/ARM64FunctionCallingConventions.html
According to the Apple developer docs:
> The type va_list is an alias for char * rather than for the struct
> type specified in the generic PCS.
The current implementation uses the generic Aarch64 structure for VaList
for Aarch64 iOS.
Windows always uses the char * variant of the va_list.
This commit replaces many usages of `File::open` and reading or writing
with `fs::read_to_string`, `fs::read` and `fs::write`. This reduces code
complexity, and will improve performance for most reads, since the
functions allocate the buffer to be the size of the file.
I believe that this commit will not impact behavior in any way, so some
matches will check the error kind in case the file was not valid UTF-8.
Some of these cases may not actually care about the error.
Fix a stutter in the docs for slice::exact_chunks
Before this change, the docs for `slice::exact_chunks` reads like this:
> See `chunks` for a variant of this iterator that also returns the remainder as a smaller chunk, and `rchunks_exact` for the same iterator but starting at the end of the slice of the slice.
Notice that stutter at the end? This commit fixes it.
Introduce ptr::hash for references
The RHS is what I used, which wasn't as convenient as `ptr::eq`, so I wondered: should `ptr::hash` exist?
My first Rust PR, so I'm going to need some guidance. :)
Use inner iterator may_have_side_effect for Cloned
Previous implementation wasn't correct, as an inner iterator could have had side effects. Noticed by @bluss in #56534.
drop glue takes in mutable references, it should reflect that in its type
When drop glue begins, it should retag, like all functions taking references do. But to do that, it needs to take the reference at a proper type: `&mut T`, not `*mut T`.
Failing to retag can mean that the memory the reference points to remains frozen, and `EscapeToRaw` on a frozen location is a NOP, meaning later mutations cause a Stacked Borrows violation.
Cc @nikomatsakis @Gankro because Stacked Borrows
Cc @eddyb for the changes to miri argument passing (the intention is to allow passing `*mut [u8]` when `&mut [u8]` is expected and vice versa)
Add libstd Cargo feature "panic_immediate_abort"
It stop asserts and panics from libstd to automatically
include string output and formatting code.
Use case: developing static executables smaller than 50 kilobytes,
where usual formatting code is excessive while keeping debuggability
in debug mode.
May resolve#54981.
Add TryFrom<&[T]> for [T; $N] where T: Copy
`TryFrom<&[T]> for &[T; $N]` (note *reference* to an array) already exists, but not needing to dereference makes type inference easier for example when using `u32::from_be_bytes`.
Also add doc examples doing just that.
