`riscv32` platform support
This PR adds the following RISCV targets to the tier 2 list of targets:
- riscv32imafc-unknown-none-elf
- riscv32im-unknown-none-elf
The rationale behind adding them directly to tier 2, is that the other bare metal targets already exist at tier 2, and these new targets are the same with an additional target feature enabled.
As well as the additional targets, this PR fills out the platform support document(s) that were previously missing.
~~The RISC-V bare metal targets don't currently have a platform support document, but this will change soon as the RISC-V team from the Rust-embedded working group will maintain these once https://github.com/davidtwco/rust/pull/1 is merged (and `@davidtwco's` upstream PR is merged after). For the time being you can cc myself or any other member of the RISC-V team: https://github.com/orgs/rust-embedded/teams/riscv.~~
> A tier 2 target must have value to people other than its maintainers. (It may still be a niche target, but it must not be exclusively useful for an inherently closed group.)
RISC-V is an open specification, used and accessible to anyone including individuals.
> A tier 2 target must have a designated team of developers (the "target maintainers") available to consult on target-specific build-breaking issues, or if necessary to develop target-specific language or library implementation details. This team must have at least 2 developers.
This rust-embedded working group's [RISCV team](https://github.com/orgs/rust-embedded/teams/riscv) will maintain these targets.
> The target must not place undue burden on Rust developers not specifically concerned with that target. Rust developers are expected to not gratuitously break a tier 2 target, but are not expected to become experts in every tier 2 target, and are not expected to provide target-specific implementations for every tier 2 target.
I don't forsee this being an issue, the RISCV team will ensure we avoid undue burden for the general Rust community.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target using cross-compilation, and explaining how to run tests for the target. If at all possible, this documentation should show how to run Rust programs and tests for the target using emulation, to allow anyone to do so. If the target cannot be feasibly emulated, the documentation should explain how to obtain and work with physical hardware, cloud systems, or equivalent.
There are links to resources we maintain in the re wg org in the platform support document.
> The target must document its baseline expectations for the features or versions of CPUs, operating systems, libraries, runtime environments, and similar.
Documented in the platform support document.
> If introducing a new tier 2 or higher target that is identical to an existing Rust target except for the baseline expectations for the features or versions of CPUs, operating systems, libraries, runtime environments, and similar, then the proposed target must document to the satisfaction of the approving teams why the specific difference in baseline expectations provides sufficient value to justify a separate target.
New target features in RISCV can drastically change the capability of a CPU, hence the need for a separate target to support different variants. We aim to support any ratified RISCV extensions.
> Tier 2 targets must not leave any significant portions of core or the standard library unimplemented or stubbed out, unless they cannot possibly be supported on the target.
`core` is fully implemented.
> The code generation backend for the target should not have deficiencies that invalidate Rust safety properties, as evaluated by the Rust compiler team. (This requirement does not apply to arbitrary security enhancements or mitigations provided by code generation backends, only to those properties needed to ensure safe Rust code cannot cause undefined behavior or other unsoundness.) If this requirement does not hold, the target must clearly and prominently document any such limitations as part of the target's entry in the target tier list, and ideally also via a failing test in the testsuite. The Rust compiler team must be satisfied with the balance between these limitations and the difficulty of implementing the necessary features.
RISCV is a well-established and well-maintained LLVM backend. To the best of my knowledge, the backend won't cause the generated code to have undefined behaviour.
> If the target supports C code, and the target has an interoperable calling convention for C code, the Rust target must support that C calling convention for the platform via extern "C". The C calling convention does not need to be the default Rust calling convention for the target, however.
The C calling convention is supported by RISCV.
> The target must build reliably in CI, for all components that Rust's CI considers mandatory.
For the last 4-5 years many of these RISCV targets have been building in CI without any known issues.
> The approving teams may additionally require that a subset of tests pass in CI, such as enough to build a functional "hello world" program, ./x.py test --no-run, or equivalent "smoke tests". In particular, this requirement may apply if the target builds host tools, or if the tests in question provide substantial value via early detection of critical problems.
Not applicable, in the future we may wish to add qemu tests but this is out of scope for now.
> Building the target in CI must not take substantially longer than the current slowest target in CI, and should not substantially raise the maintenance burden of the CI infrastructure. This requirement is subjective, to be evaluated by the infrastructure team, and will take the community importance of the target into account.
To the best of my knowledge, this will not induce a burden on the current CI infra.
> Tier 2 targets should, if at all possible, support cross-compiling. Tier 2 targets should not require using the target as the host for builds, even if the target supports host tools.
Cross-compilation is supported and documented in the platform support document.
> In addition to the legal requirements for all targets (specified in the tier 3 requirements), because a tier 2 target typically involves the Rust project building and supplying various compiled binaries, incorporating the target and redistributing any resulting compiled binaries (e.g. built libraries, host tools if any) must not impose any onerous license requirements on any members of the Rust project, including infrastructure team members and those operating CI systems. This is a subjective requirement, to be evaluated by the approving teams.
There are no additional license issues to worry about.
> Tier 2 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to ensure that tests pass for the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on tests failing for the target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via `@)` to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding the PR breaking tests on a tier 2 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
The RISCV team agrees not to do this.
> The target maintainers should regularly run the testsuite for the target, and should fix any test failures in a reasonably timely fashion.
The RISCV team will fix any issues in a timely manner.
Use `unwinding` crate for unwinding on Xous platform
This patch adds support for using [unwinding](https://github.com/nbdd0121/unwinding) on platforms where libunwinding isn't viable. An example of such a platform is `riscv32imac-unknown-xous-elf`.
### Background
The Rust project maintains a fork of llvm at [llvm-project](https://github.com/rust-lang/llvm-project/) where it applies patches on top of the llvm project. This mostly seems to be to get unwinding support for the SGX project, and there may be other patches that I'm unaware of.
There is a lot of machinery in the build system to support compiling `libunwind` on other platforms, and I needed to add additional patches to llvm in order to add support for Xous.
Rather than continuing down this path, it seemed much easier to use a Rust-based library. The `unwinding` crate by `@nbdd0121` fits this description perfectly.
### Future work
This could potentially replace the custom patches for `libunwind` on other platforms such as SGX, and could enable unwinding support on many more exotic platforms.
### Anti-goals
This is not designed to replace `libunwind` on tier-one platforms or those where unwinding support already exists. There is already a well-established approach for unwinding there. Instead, this aims to enable unwinding on new platforms where C++ code may be difficult to compile.
Add `unwinding` as a permitted dependency of rustc, as it is now used as
part of panic unwinding within platforms such as Xous.

Add support for making lib features internal
We have the notion of an "internal" lang feature: a feature that is never intended to be stabilized, and using which can cause ICEs and other issues without that being considered a bug.
This extends that idea to lib features as well. It is an alternative to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115623: instead of using an attribute to declare lib features internal, we simply do this based on the name. Everything ending in `_internals` or `_internal` is considered internal.
Then we rename `core_intrinsics` to `core_intrinsics_internal`, which fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115597.
Add support for `gen fn`
This builds on #116447 to add support for `gen fn` functions. For the most part we follow the same approach as desugaring `async fn`, but replacing `Future` with `Iterator` and `async {}` with `gen {}` for the body.
The version implemented here uses the return type of a `gen fn` as the yield type. For example:
```rust
gen fn count_to_three() -> i32 {
yield 1;
yield 2;
yield 3;
}
```
In the future, I think we should experiment with a syntax like `gen fn count_to_three() yield i32 { ... }`, but that can go in another PR.

miri: support 'promising' alignment for symbolic alignment check
Then use that ability in `slice::align_to`, so that even with `-Zmiri-symbolic-alignment-check`, it no longer has to return spuriously empty "middle" parts.

move exposed-provenance APIs into separate feature gate
We have already stated explicitly for all the 'exposed' functions that
> Using this method means that code is *not* following strict provenance rules.
However, they were part of the same feature gate and still described as part of the strict provenance experiment. Unfortunately, their semantics are much less clear and certainly nowhere near stabilization, so in preparation for an attempt to stabilize the strict provenance APIs, I suggest we split the things related to "exposed" into their own feature gate. I also used this opportunity to better explain how Exposed Provenance fits into the larger plan here: this is *one possible candidate* for `as` semantics, but we don't know if it is actually viable, so we can't really promise that it is equivalent to `as`. If it works out we probably want to make `as` equivalent to the 'exposed' APIs; if it doesn't, we will remove them again and try to find some other semantics for `as`.
