Fixes 85115
This only updates unstable functions.
`array::try_map` didn't actually exist before, despite the tracking issue 79711 still being open from the old PR 79713.
Because after PR 86041, the optimizer no longer load-merges at the LLVM IR level, which might be part of the perf loss. (I'll run perf and see if this makes a difference.)
Also I added a codegen test so this hopefully won't regress in future -- it passes on stable and with my change here, but not on the 2021-11-09 nightly.
Add 'core::array::from_fn' and 'core::array::try_from_fn'
These auxiliary methods fill uninitialized arrays in a safe way and are particularly useful for elements that don't implement `Default`.
```rust
// Foo doesn't implement Default
struct Foo(usize);
let _array = core::array::from_fn::<_, _, 2>(|idx| Foo(idx));
```
Different from `FromIterator`, it is guaranteed that the array will be fully filled and no error regarding uninitialized state will be throw. In certain scenarios, however, the creation of an **element** can fail and that is why the `try_from_fn` function is also provided.
```rust
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
enum SomeError {
Foo,
}
let array = core::array::try_from_fn(|i| Ok::<_, SomeError>(i));
assert_eq!(array, Ok([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]));
let another_array = core::array::try_from_fn(|_| Err(SomeError::Foo));
assert_eq!(another_array, Err(SomeError::Foo));
```
Partially stabilize `array_methods`
This stabilizes `<[T; N]>::as_slice` and `<[T; N]>::as_mut_slice`, which is forms part of the `array_methods` feature: #76118.
This also makes `<[T; N]>::as_slice` const due to its trivial nature.
Add links in docs for some primitive types
This pull request adds additional links in existing documentation of some of the primitive types.
Where items are linked only once, I have used the `[link](destination)` format. For items in `std`, I have linked directly to the HTML, since although the primitives are in `core`, they are not displayed on `core` documentation. I was unsure of what length I should keep lines of documentation to, so I tried to keep them within reason.
Additionally, I have avoided excessively linking to keywords like `self` when they are not relevant to the documentation. I can add these links if it would be an improvement.
I hope this can improve Rust. Please let me know if there's anything I did wrong!
The libs-api team agrees to allow const_trait_impl to appear in the
standard library as long as stable code cannot be broken (they are
properly gated) this means if the compiler teams thinks it's okay, then
it's okay.
My priority on constifying would be:
1. Non-generic impls (e.g. Default) or generic impls with no
bounds
2. Generic functions with bounds (that use const impls)
3. Generic impls with bounds
4. Impls for traits with associated types

Mention the `Borrow` guarantee on the `Hash` implementations for Arrays and `Vec`
To remind people like me who forget about it and send PRs to make them different, and to (probably) get a test failure if the code is changed to no longer uphold it.

Extremely outdated; not only are traits implemented on arrays of arbitrary length, those implementations are documented on the primitive type, not in this module.
Cautiously add IntoIterator for arrays by value
Add the attribute described in #84133, `#[rustc_skip_array_during_method_dispatch]`, which effectively hides a trait from method dispatch when the receiver type is an array.
Then cherry-pick `IntoIterator for [T; N]` from #65819 and gate it with that attribute. Arrays can now be used as `IntoIterator` normally, but `array.into_iter()` has edition-dependent behavior, returning `slice::Iter` for 2015 and 2018 editions, or `array::IntoIter` for 2021 and later.
