Rename main thread from "<main>" to "main".
Fix issue #33789
We may need to discuss whether this counts as a breaking change since code may check the main thread name against "\<main\>". Discussion is in #33789
Fix a few links in the book
Links to directories and direct links to doc.rust-lang.org don't work properly
when viewing the docs offline so fix them.

The previous version of the chapter covered a lot of ground, but was a little
meandering and hard to follow at times. This draft is intended to be clearer
and more direct, while still providing the same information as the previous
version.
Clarify the English translation of `?Sized`
* It wasn't clear whether `?Sized` meant "not `Sized`" or "`Sized` or not `Sized`". According to #rust IRC, it does indeed mean "`Sized` or not `Sized`".
* Use the same language as [Trait std::marker::Sized](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Sized.html) about how `Sized` is implicitly bound.
* Refer to the syntax as `?Sized`, since it's currently the only allowed trait that can follow `?`.
Book: small improvement to a table to make it clearer
This table is used as an example of four heap values where two of them got deallocated leaving a gap.
It also has stack variables.
Instead of four stack variables I propose three, that way there's no misleading connection between the number of stack variables and heap variables.
But more importantly: three of the four stack variables had the same name (**y**) which could be confusing to a beginner, I changed this as well.
* Use "special bound syntax" instead of "special syntax". `?Sized` is technically a "bound", but `?Sized` is specialized syntax that _only_ works with `Sized`, and no other Trait.
* Replace "constant size" with "sized".
* It wasn't clear whether `?Sized` meant "not `Sized`" or "`Sized` or not `Sized`". According to #rust IRC, it does indeed mean "`Sized` or not `Sized`".
* Use the same language as [Trait std::marker::Sized](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Sized.html) about how `Sized` is implicitly bound.
Rust syntax coloring for some ignore, should-panic and no-run snippets.
In the book, some code blocks were missing the `rust` specifier which is needed for them to highlight correctly.
Add a note about Higher-Ranked Trait Bounds in docs on Closures.
I hit a snag with lifetimes a few days ago and it wasn't until @birkenfeld pointed out Higher-Ranked Trait Bounds that I was able to solve the issue involving lifetimes on closure traits. This adds a small section in the book so that other users can find it.
r? @steveklabnik
When using closures that take references with explicit lifetimes sometimes
it's required to use where F: for<..> ... syntax to express the right
lifetimes. This adds a quick note to the docs so other users can discover
it as well.
trivial tweaks to documentation (book)
These are small things I found while reading through The Book. The `<hash>` and `panic!` lines are simply to improve readability, while I believe the proceeding/following distinction is a bug (but might be a English dialect distinction?).
I've read `rust/CONTRIBUTING`, i'm not sure if there is anything I need to do other than submit this PR.

rustdoc: remove artificial indentation of doctest code
The indentation makes the examples look nicer when printed (when is this done?), but breaks tests using multi-line string literals.
Fixes: #25944
book: fixup code in error handling tutorial
A few oversights happened while porting the example from docopt to getopts. I retraced all the steps, fixing code and description as necessary.
Fixes: #33422
Add armv7-linux-androideabi target
This PR adds `armv7-linux-androideabi` target that matches `armeabi-v7a` Android ABI, ~~downscales `arm-linux-androideabi` target to match `armeabi` Android ABI~~ (TBD later if needed).
This should allow us to get the best performance from every [Android ABI level](http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html).
Currently existing target `arm-linux-androideabi` started gaining features out of the supported range of [android `armeabi`](http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html). While android compiler does not use a different target for later supported `armv7` architecture, it has distinct ABI name `armeabi-v7a`. We decided to add rust target `armv7-linux-androideabi` to match it.
Note that `NEON`, `VFPv3-D32`, and `ThumbEE` instruction sets are not added, because not all android devices are guaranteed to support all or some of these, and [their availability should be checked at runtime](http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis.html#v7a).
~~This reduces performance of existing `arm-linux-androideabi` and may make it _much_ slower (we are talking more than order of magnitude in some random ad-hoc fp benchmark that I did).~~
Part of #33278.
