Add as_(mut_)ptr and as_(mut_)slice to raw array pointers
Hey, first time contributing to the standard libraries so not completely sure about the process.
These functions are complementary to the ones being added in #74265 . I found them missing on array pointers.

- Tracking issue: #119834
Implement `Duration::as_millis_{f64,f32}`
Implementation of #122451.
Linked const-unstability to #72440, so the post there should probably be updated to mentions the 2 new methods when/if this PR is merged.
fix unsoundness in Step::forward_unchecked for signed integers
Fixes#122420
```rust
pub fn foo(a: i8, b: u8) -> i8 {
unsafe { a.checked_add_unsigned(b).unwrap_unchecked() }
}
```
still compiles down to a single arithmetic instruction ([godbolt](https://rust.godbolt.org/z/qsd3xYWfE)).
But we may be losing some loop optimizations if llvm can no longer easily derive that it's a finite counted loop from the no-wrapping flags.
Improve `Step` docs
It [came up on urlo](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/implement-trait-step-in-1-76-0/108204?u=cad97) that the unstable reason string isn't helpful, so just remove it; there's nothing meaningful to add here.
Also makes a couple drive-by improvements to the method docs -- removes incorrect references, changes `forward_checked`'s invariant formulation to match `backward_checked`'s, and adds a helpful corollary that `step_unchecked(a, 0)` is always safe.
Add CStr::bytes iterator
See rust-lang/libs-team#135 for an ACP.
Since rust-lang/libs-team#134 was also accepted, this type is now `core::ffi::c_str::Bytes` instead of `core::ffi::CStrBytes`.
Expose the Freeze trait again (unstably) and forbid implementing it manually
non-emoji version of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121501
cc #60715
This trait is useful for generic constants (associated consts of generic traits). See the test (`tests/ui/associated-consts/freeze.rs`) added in this PR for a usage example. The builtin `Freeze` trait is the only way to do it, users cannot work around this issue.
It's also a useful trait for building some very specific abstrations, as shown by the usage by the `zerocopy` crate: https://github.com/google/zerocopy/issues/941

T-lang signed off on reexposing this unstably: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121501#issuecomment-1969827742
Add slice::try_range
This adds a fallible version of the unstable `slice::range` (tracking: #76393) which is highly requested in the tracking issue.
Hoping this can slide by without an ACP (since the feature is already being tracked), but let me know otherwise.
BorrowedCursor docs clarification
If one reads the `BorrowedCursor` docs without having seen `BorrowedBuf` before, it is quite easy to assume that "unfilled" and "uninit" are synonyms.

This should be the last one 🤞 Sorry!
Distinguish between library and lang UB in assert_unsafe_precondition
As described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121583#issuecomment-1963168186, `assert_unsafe_precondition` now explicitly distinguishes between language UB (conditions we explicitly optimize on) and library UB (things we document you shouldn't do, and maybe some library internals assume you don't do).
`debug_assert_nounwind` was originally added to avoid the "only at runtime" aspect of `assert_unsafe_precondition`. Since then the difference between the macros has gotten muddied. This totally revamps the situation.
Now _all_ preconditions shall be checked with `assert_unsafe_precondition`. If you have a precondition that's only checkable at runtime, do a `const_eval_select` hack, as done in this PR.

align_offset, align_to: no longer allow implementations to spuriously fail to align
For a long time, we have allowed `align_offset` to fail to compute a properly aligned offset, and `align_to` to return a smaller-than-maximal "middle slice". This was done to cover the implementation of `align_offset` in const-eval and Miri. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62420 for more background. For about the same amount of time, this has caused confusion and surprise, where people didn't realize they have to write their code to be defensive against `align_offset` failures.
Another way to put this is: the specification is effectively non-deterministic, and non-determinism is hard to test for -- in particular if the implementation everyone uses to test always produces the same reliable result, and nobody expects it to be non-deterministic to begin with.
With https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117840, Miri has stopped making use of this liberty in the spec; it now always behaves like rustc. That only leaves const-eval as potential motivation for this behavior. I do not think this is sufficient motivation. Currently, none of the relevant functions are stably const: `align_offset` is unstably const, `align_to` is not const at all. I propose that if we ever want to make these const-stable, we just accept the fact that they can behave differently at compile-time vs at run-time. This is not the end of the world, and it seems to be much less surprising to programmers than unexpected non-determinism. (Related: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3352.)
`@thomcc` has repeatedly made it clear that they strongly dislike the non-determinism in align_offset, so I expect they will support this. `@oli-obk,` what do you think? Also, whom else should we involve? The primary team responsible is clearly libs-api, so I will nominate this for them. However, allowing const-evaluated code to behave different from run-time code is t-lang territory. The thing is, this is not stabilizing anything t-lang-worthy immediately, but it still does make a decision we will be bound to: if we accept this change, then
- either `align_offset`/`align_to` can never be called in const fn,
- or we allow compile-time behavior to differ from run-time behavior.
So I will nominate for t-lang as well, with the question being: are you okay with accepting either of these outcomes (without committing to which one, just accepting that it has to be one of them)? This closes the door to "have `align_offset` and `align_to` at compile-time and also always have compile-time behavior match run-time behavior".
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62420
Specifically, when an override doesn't just forward to an inner type,
document the behavior and that it's preferred over simply assigning
a clone of source. Also, change instances where the second parameter is
"other" to "source".
