This removes all mutex/atomics based workarounds for non-monotonic clocks and makes the previously panicking methods saturating instead.
Effectively this moves the monotonization from `Instant` construction to the comparisons.
This has some observable effects, especially on platforms without monotonic clocks:
* Incorrectly ordered Instant comparisons no longer panic. This may hide some programming errors until someone actually looks at the resulting `Duration`
* `checked_duration_since` will now return `None` in more cases. Previously it only happened when one compared instants obtained in the wrong order or
manually created ones. Now it also does on backslides.
The upside is reduced complexity and lower overhead of `Instant::now`.
Implement most of RFC 2930, providing the ReadBuf abstraction
This replaces the `Initializer` abstraction for permitting reading into uninitialized buffers, closing #42788.
This leaves several APIs described in the RFC out of scope for the initial implementation:
* read_buf_vectored
* `ReadBufs`
Closes#42788, by removing the relevant APIs.
Move `os_str_bytes` to `sys::unix`
Followup to #84967, with `OsStrExt` and `OsStringExt` moved out of `sys_common`, there is no reason anymore for `os_str_bytes` to live in `sys_common` and not in sys. This pr moves it to the location `sys::unix::os_str` and reuses the code on other platforms via `#[path]` (as is common in `sys`) instead of importing.
Redefine `ErrorKind::Other` and stop using it in std.
This implements the idea I shared yesterday in the libs meeting when we were discussing how to handle adding new `ErrorKind`s to the standard library: This redefines `Other` to be for *user defined errors only*, and changes all uses of `Other` in the standard library to a `#[doc(hidden)]` and permanently `#[unstable]` `ErrorKind` that users can not match on. This ensures that adding `ErrorKind`s at a later point in time is not a breaking change, since the user couldn't match on these errors anyway. This way, we use the `#[non_exhaustive]` property of the enum in a more effective way.
Open questions:
- How do we check this change doesn't cause too much breakage? Will a crate run help and be enough?
- How do we ensure we don't accidentally start using `Other` again in the standard library? We don't have a `pub(not crate)` or `#[deprecated(in this crate only)]`.

- Split `sys_common::RWLock` between `StaticRWLock` and `MovableRWLock`
- Unbox `RwLock` on some platforms (Windows, Wasm and unsupported)
- Simplify `RwLock::into_inner`
Windows implementation of feature `path_try_exists`
Draft of a Windows implementation of `try_exists` (#83186).
The first commit reorganizes the code so I would be interested to get some feedback on if this is a good idea or not. It moves the `Path::try_exists` function to `fs::exists`. leaving the former as a wrapper for the latter. This makes it easier to provide platform specific implementations and matches the `fs::metadata` function.
The other commit implements a Windows specific variant of `exists`. I'm still figuring out my approach so this is very much a first draft. Eventually this will need some more eyes from knowledgable Windows people.
Reuse `sys::unix::cmath` on other platforms
Reuse `sys::unix::cmath` on all non-`windows` platforms.
`unix` is chosen as the canonical location instead of `unsupported` or `common` because `unsupported` doesn't make sense semantically and `common` is reserved for code that is supported on all platforms. Also `unix` is already the home of some non-`windows` code that is technically not exclusive to `unix` like `unix::path`.
Reuse modules on `hermit`
Reuse the following modules on `hermit`:
- `unix::path` (contents identical)
- `unsupported::io` (contents identical)
- `unsupported::thread_local_key` (contents functionally identical, only changes are the panic error messages)

Rework `init` and `cleanup`
This PR reworks the code in `std` that runs before and after `main` and centralizes this code respectively in the functions `init` and `cleanup` in both `sys_common` and `sys`. This makes is easy to see what code is executed during initialization and cleanup on each platform just by looking at e.g. `sys::windows::init`.
Full list of changes:
- new module `rt` in `sys_common` to contain `init` and `cleanup` and the runtime macros.
- `at_exit` and the mechanism to register exit handlers has been completely removed. In practice this was only used for closing sockets on windows and flushing stdout, which have been moved to `cleanup`.
- <s>On windows `alloc` and `net` initialization is now done in `init`, this saves a runtime check in every allocation and network use.</s>
Remove `sys::args::Args::inner_debug` and use `Debug` instead
This removes the method `sys::args::Args::inner_debug` on all platforms and implements `Debug` for `Args` instead.
I believe this creates a more natural API for the different platforms under `sys`: export a type `Args: Debug + Iterator + ...` vs. `Args: Iterator + ...` and with a method `inner_debug`.
