Make useless_ptr_null_checks smarter about some std functions
This teaches the `useless_ptr_null_checks` lint that some std functions can't ever return null pointers, because they need to point to valid data, get references as input, etc.
This is achieved by introducing an `#[rustc_never_returns_null_ptr]` attribute and adding it to these std functions (gated behind bootstrap `cfg_attr`).
Later on, the attribute could maybe be used to tell LLVM that the returned pointer is never null. I don't expect much impact of that though, as the functions are pretty shallow and usually the input data is already never null.

Rework `no_coverage` to `coverage(off)`
As discussed at the tail of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84605 this replaces the `no_coverage` attribute with a `coverage` attribute that takes sub-parameters (currently `off` and `on`) to control the coverage instrumentation.
Allows future-proofing for things like `coverage(off, reason="Tested live", issue="#12345")` or similar.
Clarify stability guarantee for lifetimes in enum discriminants
Since `std::mem::Discriminant` erases lifetimes, it should be clarified that changing the concrete value of a lifetime parameter does not change the value of an enum discriminant for a given variant. This is useful as it guarantees that it is safe to transmute `Discriminant<Foo<'a>>` to `Discriminant<Foo<'b>>` for any combination of `'a` and `'b`. This also holds for type-generics as long as the type parameters do not change, e.g. `Discriminant<Foo<T, 'a>>` can be transmuted to `Discriminant<Foo<T, 'b>>`.
Side note: Is what I've written actually enough to imply soundness (or rather codify it), or should it specifically be spelled out that it's OK to transmute in the above way?
Lint on invalid usage of `UnsafeCell::raw_get` in reference casting
This PR proposes to take into account `UnsafeCell::raw_get` method call for non-Freeze types for the `invalid_reference_casting` lint.
The goal of this is to catch those kind of invalid reference casting:
```rust
fn as_mut<T>(x: &T) -> &mut T {
unsafe { &mut *std::cell::UnsafeCell::raw_get(x as *const _ as *const _) }
//~^ ERROR casting `&T` to `&mut T` is undefined behavior
}
```

Outline panicking code for `RefCell::borrow` and `RefCell::borrow_mut`

RangeFull: Remove parens around .. in documentation snippet
I’ve removed unnecessary parentheses in a documentation snippet documenting `RangeFull`. It could’ve lead people to believe the parentheses were necessary.
Also stabilizes saturating_int_assign_impl, gh-92354.
And also make pub fns const where the underlying saturating_*
fns became const in the meantime since the Saturating type was
created.
Add alignment to the NPO guarantee
This PR [changes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114845#discussion_r1294363357) "same size" to "same size and alignment" in the option module's null pointer optimization docs in <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/#representation>.
As far as I know, this has been true for a long time in the actual rustc implementation, but it's not in the text of those docs, so I figured I'd bring this up to FCP it.
I also see no particular reason that we'd ever *want* to have higher alignment on these. In many of the cases it's impossible, as the minimum alignment is already the size of the type, but even if we *could* do things like on 32-bit we could say that `NonZeroU64` is 4-align but `Option<NonZeroU64>` is 8-align, I just don't see any value in doing that, so feel completely fine closing this door for the few things on which the NPO is already guaranteed. These are basically all primitives, and should end up with the same size & alignment as those primitives.
(There's no layout guarantee for something like `Option<[u8; 3]>`, where it'd be at least plausible to consider raising the alignment from 1 to 4 on, say, some hypothetical target that doesn't have efficient unaligned 4-byte load/stores. And even if we ever did start to offer some kind of guarantee around such a type, I doubt we'd put it under the "null pointer" optimization header.)

Implement Step for ascii::Char
This allows iterating over ranges of `ascii::Char`, similarly to ranges of `char`.
Note that `ascii::Char` is still unstable, tracked in #110998.
Currently, `CStr::from_ptr` contains its own implementation of `strlen`
that uses `const_eval_select` to either call libc's `strlen` or use a
naive Rust implementation. Refactor that into its own function so we can
use it elsewhere in the module.
