Strict Provenance MVP
This patch series examines the question: how bad would it be if we adopted
an extremely strict pointer provenance model that completely banished all
int<->ptr casts.
The key insight to making this approach even *vaguely* pallatable is the
ptr.with_addr(addr) -> ptr
function, which takes a pointer and an address and creates a new pointer
with that address and the provenance of the input pointer. In this way
the "chain of custody" is completely and dynamically restored, making the
model suitable even for dynamic checkers like CHERI and Miri.
This is not a formal model, but lots of the docs discussing the model
have been updated to try to the *concept* of this design in the hopes
that it can be iterated on.

Ensure io::Error's bitpacked repr doesn't accidentally impl UnwindSafe
Sadly, I'm not sure how to easily test that we don't impl a trait, though (or can libstd use `where io::Error: !UnwindSafe` or something).

Stabilize Termination and ExitCode
From https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43301
This PR stabilizes the Termination trait and associated ExitCode type. It also adjusts the ExitCode feature flag to replace the placeholder flag with a more permanent name, as well as splitting off the `to_i32` method behind its own permanently unstable feature flag.
This PR stabilizes the termination trait with the following signature:
```rust
pub trait Termination {
fn report(self) -> ExitCode;
}
```
The existing impls of `Termination` are effectively already stable due to the prior stabilization of `?` in main.
This PR also stabilizes the following APIs on exit code
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug)]
pub struct ExitCode(_);
impl ExitCode {
pub const SUCCESS: ExitCode;
pub const FAILURE: ExitCode;
}
impl From<u8> for ExitCode { /* ... */ }
```

All of the previous blockers have been resolved. The main ones that were resolved recently are:
* The trait's name: We decided against changing this since none of the alternatives seemed particularly compelling. Instead we decided to end the bikeshedding and stick with the current name. ([link to the discussion](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/Termination.2FExit.20Status.20Stabilization/near/269793887))
* Issues around platform specific representations: We resolved this issue by changing the return type of `report` from `i32` to the opaque type `ExitCode`. That way we can change the underlying representation without affecting the API, letting us offer full support for platform specific exit code APIs in the future.
* Custom exit codes: We resolved this by adding `From<u8> for ExitCode`. We choose to only support u8 initially because it is the least common denominator between the sets of exit codes supported by our current platforms. In the future we anticipate adding platform specific extension traits to ExitCode for constructors from larger or negative numbers, as needed.
Fix build on i686-apple-darwin systems
Replace `target_arch = "x86_64"` with `not(target_arch = "aarch64")` so that i686-apple-darwin systems dynamically choose implementation.
Move std::sys::{mutex, condvar, rwlock} to std::sys::locks.
This cleans up the the std::sys modules a bit by putting the locks in a single module called `locks` rather than spread over the three modules `mutex`, `condvar`, and `rwlock`. This makes it easier to organise lock implementations, which helps with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93740.
Preserve the Windows `GetLastError` error in `HandleOrInvalid`.
In the `TryFrom<HandleOrInvalid> for OwnedHandle` and
`TryFrom<HandleOrNull> for OwnedHandle` implemenations, `forget` the
owned handle on the error path, to avoid calling `CloseHandle` on an
invalid handle. It's harmless, except that it may overwrite the
thread's `GetLastError` error.

Skip a test if symlink creation is not possible
If someone running tests on Windows does not have Developer Mode enabled then creating symlinks will fail which in turn would cause this test to fail. This can be a stumbling block for contributors.
remove_dir_all: use fallback implementation on Miri
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/1966
The new implementation requires `openat`, `unlinkat`, and `fdopendir`. These cannot easily be shimmed in Miri since libstd does not expose APIs corresponding to them. So for now it is probably easiest to just use the fallback code in Miri. Nobody should run Miri as root anyway...
