This allows decoupling `Command::spawn` and `Command::output`. This is
useful for targets which do support launching programs in blocking mode
but do not support multitasking (Eg: UEFI).

This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
The ability to interoperate with C code via FFI is not limited to crates
using std; this allows using these types without std.
The existing types in `std::os::raw` become type aliases for the ones in
`core::ffi`. This uses type aliases rather than re-exports, to allow the
std types to remain stable while the core types are unstable.
This also moves the currently unstable `NonZero_` variants and
`c_size_t`/`c_ssize_t`/`c_ptrdiff_t` types to `core::ffi`, while leaving
them unstable.
