As core uses an extern type (`ptr::VTable`), the default `?Sized` to
`MetaSized` migration isn't sufficient, and some code that previously
accepted `VTable` needs relaxed to continue to accept extern types.
Similarly, the compiler uses many extern types in `rustc_codegen_llvm`
and in the `rustc_middle::ty::List` implementation (`OpaqueListContents`)
some bounds must be relaxed to continue to accept these types.
Unfortunately, due to the current inability to relax `Deref::Target`,
some of the bounds in the standard library are forced to be stricter than
they ideally would be.
Add `From<{integer}>` for `f16`/`f128` impls
This PR adds `impl From<{bool,i8,u8}> for f16` and `impl From<{bool,i8,u8,i16,u16,i32,u32}> for f128`.
The `From<{i64,u64}> for f128` impls are left commented out as adding them would allow using `f128` on stable before it is stabilised like in the following example:
```rust
fn f<T: From<u64>>(x: T) -> T { x }
fn main() {
let x = f(1.0); // the type of the literal is inferred to be `f128`
}
```
None of the impls added in this PR have this issue as they are all, at minimum, also implemented by `f64`.
This PR will need a crater run for the `From<{i32,u32}>` impls, as `f64` is no longer the only float type to implement them (similar to the cause of #125198).

Remove `#[cfg(not(test))]` gates in `core`
These gates are unnecessary now that unit tests for `core` are in a separate package, `coretests`, instead of in the same files as the source code. They previously prevented the two `core` versions from conflicting with each other.

Copy faillibility warning to DerefMut
This makes it so that all the matchers that match against paths use the
definition path instead of the export path. This removes all duplication
around `std`/`alloc`/`core`.
This is not necessarily optimal because we now depend on internal
implementation details like `core::ops::control_flow::ControlFlow`,
which is not very nice and probably not acceptable for a stable
`on_unimplemented`.
An alternative would be to just string-replace normalize away
`alloc`/`core` to `std` as a special case, keeping the export paths but
making it so that we're still fully standard library flavor agnostic.
To avoid link time dependency between core and compiler-builtins, when
using opt-level that implicitly enables -Zshare-generics.
While compiler-builtins should be compiled with -Zshare-generics
disabled, the -Zbuild-std does not ensure this at the moment.
Change the parameter name of From::from to `value`
The `From` trait is currently defined as:
```rust
pub trait From<T>: Sized {
fn from(_: T) -> Self;
}
```
The name of the argument is `_`. I am proposing to change it to `value`, ie.
```rust
pub trait From<T>: Sized {
fn from(value: T) -> Self;
}
```
This would be more consistent with the `TryFrom`, which looks like this:
```rust
pub trait TryFrom<T>: Sized {
type Error;
fn try_from(value: T) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>;
}
```
The reason for this proposal is twofold:
1. Consistency with the rest of the standard library. The `TryFrom` trait uses `value`, and no `From` implementation uses the default name (as it is quite useless).
2. When generating trait implementations with rust-analyzer/IntelliJ, the parameter name is copied, and it always has to be changed.
Optionally, another name like `x` could be used. I only propose `value` for consistency with `TryFrom`.
Changing parameter names is not a breaking change.
