io: soften ‘at most one write attempt’ requirement in io::Write::write
At the moment, documentation of std::io::Write::write indicates that
call to it ‘represents at most one attempt to write to any wrapped
object’. It seems that such wording was put there to contrast it with
pre-1.0 interface which attempted to write all the data (it has since
been changed in [RFC 517]).
However, the requirement puts unnecessary constraints and may
complicate adaptors which perform non-trivial transformations on the
data. For example, they may maintain an internal buffer which needs
to be written out before the write method accepts more data. It might
be natural to code the method such that it flushes the buffer and then
grabs another chunk of user data. With the current wording in the
documentation, the adaptor would be forced to return Ok(0).
This commit softens the wording such that implementations can choose
code structure which makes most sense for their particular use case.
While at it, elaborate on the meaning of `Ok(0)` return pointing out
that the write_all methods interprets it as an error.

Limit read size in `File::read_to_end` loop
Fixes#110650.
Windows file reads have perf overhead that's proportional to the buffer size. When we have a reasonable expectation that we know the file size, we can set a reasonable upper bound for the size of the buffer in one read call.
Guarantee that when `read_buf_exact` returns, all bytes read will be
appended to the buffer. Including the case when the operations fails.
The motivating use case are operations on a non-blocking reader. When
`read_buf_exact` fails with `ErrorKind::WouldBlock` error, the operation
can be resumed at a later time.

The UNIX and WASI implementations use `isatty`. The Windows
implementation uses the same logic the `atty` crate uses, including the
hack needed to detect msys terminals.
Implement this trait for `File` and for `Stdin`/`Stdout`/`Stderr` and
their locked counterparts on all platforms. On UNIX and WASI, implement
it for `BorrowedFd`/`OwnedFd`. On Windows, implement it for
`BorrowedHandle`/`OwnedHandle`.

Add mention of `BufReader` in `Read::bytes` docs
There is a general paragraph about `BufRead` in the `Read` trait's docs, however using `bytes` without `BufRead` *always* has a large impact, due to reads of size 1.
`@rustbot` label +A-docs
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).
`@m-ou-se` [realized][1] that because `Read` is implemented for `&mut impl
Read`, there's no need to take `&mut` in `io::read_to_string`.
Removing the `&mut` from the signature allows users to remove the `&mut`
from their calls (and thus pass an owned reader) if they don't use the
reader later.
