custom mir: make it clear what the return block is
Custom MIR recently got support for specifying the "unwind action", so now there's two things coming after the actual call part of `Call` terminators. That's not very self-explaining so I propose we change the syntax to imitate keyword arguments:
```
Call(popped = Vec::pop(v), ReturnTo(drop), UnwindContinue())
```
Also fix some outdated docs and add some docs to `Call` and `Drop`.
Primitive docs: fix confusing `Send` in `&T`'s list
The two lists in this document describe what traits are implemented on references when their underlying `T` also implements them. However, while it is true that `T: Send + Sync` implies `&T: Send` (which is what the sentence is trying to explain), it is confusing to have `Send` in the list because `T: Send` is not needed for that. In particular, the "also require" part may be interpreted as "both `T: Send` and `T: Sync` are required".
Instead, move `Send` back to where it was before commit 7a477869b7 ("Makes docs for references a little less confusing"), i.e. to the `&mut` list (where no extra nota is needed, i.e. it fits naturally) and move the `Sync` definition/note to the bottom as something independent.

Add `IntoAsyncIterator`
This introduces the `IntoAsyncIterator` trait and uses it in the desugaring of the unstable `for await` loop syntax. This is mostly added for symmetry with `Iterator` and `IntoIterator`.

Add support for `for await` loops
This adds support for `for await` loops. This includes parsing, desugaring in AST->HIR lowering, and adding some support functions to the library.
Given a loop like:
```rust
for await i in iter {
...
}
```
this is desugared to something like:
```rust
let mut iter = iter.into_async_iter();
while let Some(i) = loop {
match core::pin::Pin::new(&mut iter).poll_next(cx) {
Poll::Ready(i) => break i,
Poll::Pending => yield,
}
} {
...
}
```
This PR also adds a basic `IntoAsyncIterator` trait. This is partly for symmetry with the way `Iterator` and `IntoIterator` work. The other reason is that for async iterators it's helpful to have a place apart from the data structure being iterated over to store state. `IntoAsyncIterator` gives us a good place to do this.
I've gated this feature behind `async_for_loop` and opened #118898 as the feature tracking issue.

do not allow ABI mismatches inside repr(C) types
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115476 we allowed ABI mismatches inside `repr(C)` types. This wasn't really discussed much; I added it because from how I understand calling conventions, this should actually be safe in practice. However I entirely forgot to actually allow this in Miri, and in the mean time I have learned that too much ABI compatibility can be a problem for CFI (it can reject fewer calls so that gives an attacker more room to play with).
So I propose we take back that part about ABI compatibility in `repr(C)`. It is anyway something that C and C++ do not allow, as far as I understand.
In the future we might want to introduce a class of ABI compatibilities where we say "this is a bug and it may lead to aborting the process, but it won't lead to arbitrary misbehavior -- worst case it'll just transmute the arguments from the caller type to the callee type". That would give CFI leeway to reject such calls without introducing the risk of arbitrary UB. (The UB can still happen if the transmute leads to bad results, of course, but it wouldn't be due to ABI weirdness.)
#115476 hasn't reached beta yet so if we land this before Dec 22nd we can just pretend this all never happened. ;) Otherwise we should do a beta backport (of the docs change at least).

I done this for this reasons:
1. The example now shows that there is more Orderings than just SeqCst.
2. People who would copy from example would now have more suitable orderings for the job.
3. SeqCst is both much harder to reason about and not needed in most situations.
IMHO, we should encourage people to think and use memory orderings that is suitable to task instead of blindly defaulting to SeqCst.
This change consists of cherry-picking the content from the original
PR[1], which got closed due to inactivity, and applying the following
changes:
* Resolving merge conflicts (obviously)
* Linked to to_ipv4_mapped instead of to_ipv4 in the documentation (seems
more appropriate)
* Added the must_use and rustc_const_unstable attributes the original
didn't have
I think it's a reasonably useful method.

Add ASCII whitespace trimming functions to `&str`
- Add `trim_ascii_start`, `trim_ascii_end`, and `trim_ascii` functions to `&str` for trimming ASCII whitespace
- Add `#[inline]` to `[u8]` `trim_ascii` functions
These functions are feature-gated by `#![feature(byte_slice_trim_ascii)]` #94035
Link to is_benchmark from the Ipv6Addr::is_global documentation
All other relevant is_* methods are mentioned in the list of addresses here, is_benchmarking has been the only one missing.
Make CStr documentation consistent ("nul" instead of "null")
"nul" is used in method names and appears more often in the documentation than "null", so make all instances "nul" to keep it consistent.
Stabilize `type_name_of_val`
Make the following API stable:
```rust
// in core::any
pub fn type_name_of_val<T: ?Sized>(_val: &T) -> &'static str
```
This is a convenience method to get the type name of a value, as opposed to `type_name` that takes a type as a generic.
Const stability is not added because this relies on `type_name` which is also not const. That has a blocking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97156.
Wording was also changed to direct most of the details to `type_name` so we don't have as much duplicated documentation.
Fixes tracking issue #66359.
There were two main concerns in the tracking issue:
1. Naming: `type_name_of` and `type_name_of_val` seem like the only mentioned options. Differences in opinion here come from `std::mem::{size_of, align_of, size_of_val, align_of_val}`. This PR leaves the name as `type_name_of_val`, but I can change if desired since it is pretty verbose.
2. What this displays for `&dyn`: I don't think that having `type_name_of_val` function resolve those is worth the headache it would be, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66359#issuecomment-1718480774 for some workarounds. I also amended the docs wording to leave it open-ended, in case we have means to change that behavior in the future.

[`RFC 3086`] Attempt to try to resolve blocking concerns
Implements what is described at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83527#issuecomment-1744822345 to hopefully make some progress.
It is unknown if such approach is or isn't desired due to the lack of further feedback, as such, it is probably best to nominate this PR to the official entities.
