Remove some doc aliases
As per the new doc alias policy in https://github.com/rust-lang/std-dev-guide/pull/25, this removes some controversial doc aliases:
- `malloc`, `alloc`, `realloc`, etc.
- `length` (alias for `len`)
- `delete` (alias for `remove` in collections and also file/directory deletion)

aborts: Clarify documentation and comments
In the docs for intrinsics::abort():
* Strengthen the recommendation by to use process::abort instead.
* Document the fact that it sometimes (ab)uses an LLVM debug trap and what the likely consequences are.
* State that the precise behaviour is unstable.
In the docs for process::abort():
* Promise that we have the same behaviour as C `abort()`.
* Document the likely consequences, including, specifically, the consequences on Unix.
In the internal comment for unix::abort_internal:
* Refer to the public docs for the public API functions.
* Correct and expand the description of libc::abort. Specifically:
* Do not claim that abort() unregisters signal handlers. It doesn't; it honours the SIGABRT handler.
* Discuss, extensively, the issue with abort() flushing stdio buffers.
* Describe the glibc behaviour in some detail.

Add examples to the various methods of `core::task::Poll`
This improves the documentation of the various methods of [`core::task::Poll`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/enum.Poll.html). These currently have fairly simple docs with no examples. This PR changes these methods to be closer to `core::option::Option` and adds usage examples (and importantly: tests!) to `Poll`'s methods.

core: add unstable no_fp_fmt_parse to disable float formatting code
In some projects (e.g. kernel), floating point is forbidden. They can disable
hardware floating point support and use `+soft-float` to avoid fp instructions
from being generated, but as libcore contains the formatting code for `f32`
and `f64`, some fp intrinsics are depended. One could define stubs for these
intrinsics that just panic [1], but it means that if any formatting functions
are accidentally used, mistake can only be caught during the runtime rather
than during compile-time or link-time, and they consume a lot of space without
LTO.
This patch provides an unstable cfg `no_fp_fmt_parse` to disable these.
A panicking stub is still provided for the `Debug` implementation (unfortunately)
because there are some SIMD types that use `#[derive(Debug)]`.

Stabilize `str::from_utf8_unchecked` as `const`
This stabilizes `unsafe fn str::from_utf8_unchecked` as `const` pending FCP on #75196. By the time FCP finishes, the beta will have already been cut, so I've set 1.55 as the stable-since version.
(should also be +relnotes but I don't have the permission to do that)

Use HTTPS links where possible
While looking at #86583, I wondered how many other (insecure) HTTP links were in `rustc`. This changes most other `http` links to `https`. While most of the links are in comments or documentation, there are a few other HTTP links that are used by CI that are changed to HTTPS.
Notes:
- I didn't change any to or in licences
- Some links don't support HTTPS :(
- Some `http` links were dead, in those cases I upgraded them to their new places (all of which used HTTPS)
Use `#[non_exhaustive]` where appropriate
Due to the std/alloc split, it is not possible to make `alloc::collections::TryReserveError::AllocError` non-exhaustive without having an unstable, doc-hidden method to construct (which negates the benefits from `#[non_exhaustive]`).

(Most of these are from a review by joshtriplett. Thanks!)
Fix errors in `as_pin_ref` and `as_pin_mut` in the "Adapters for
working with references" overview.
Reword some headings about transformation methods.
Reclassify `map`, `map_or`, `map_or_else`, `map_err`, etc. to more
accurately reflect which variants they transform.
Document `Debug` requirement for `get_or_insert_default`.
Reword text about `take` and `replace` to be more accurate.
Add examples for the `Product` and `Sum` traits.
Also:
Move link reference definitions closer to their uses. Warn about making
link reference definintions for `err` and `ok`. Avoid making other link
reference definitions that might conflict in the future (foreign methods
that share a name with local ones, etc.)
Write out the generics of `Option` and `Result` when the following
text refers to the type parameters.
Due to the std/alloc split, it is not possible to make
`alloc::collections::TryReserveError::AllocError` non-exhaustive without
having an unstable, doc-hidden method to construct (which negates the
benefits from `#[non_exhaustive]`.
Document associativity of iterator folds.
Document the associativity of `Iterator::fold` and
`DoubleEndedIterator::rfold` and add examples demonstrating this.
Add links to direct users to the fold of the opposite associativity.
