It is not important which one is used since `is_dangling` does not access
memory, but `*const` removes the needs of `*const T` -> `*mut T` casts
in `from_raw_in`.
Stablize arc_unwrap_or_clone
Fixes: #93610
This likely needs FCP. I created this PR as it's stabilization is trivial and FCP can be just conducted here. Not sure how to ping the libs API team (last attempt didn't work apparently according to GH UI)
Make useless_ptr_null_checks smarter about some std functions
This teaches the `useless_ptr_null_checks` lint that some std functions can't ever return null pointers, because they need to point to valid data, get references as input, etc.
This is achieved by introducing an `#[rustc_never_returns_null_ptr]` attribute and adding it to these std functions (gated behind bootstrap `cfg_attr`).
Later on, the attribute could maybe be used to tell LLVM that the returned pointer is never null. I don't expect much impact of that though, as the functions are pretty shallow and usually the input data is already never null.

Stabilize const-weak-new
This is a fairly uncontroversial library stabilization, so I'm going ahead and proposing it to ride the trains to stable.
This stabilizes the following APIs, which are defined to be non-allocating constructors.
```rust
// alloc::rc
impl<T> Weak<T> {
pub const fn new() -> Weak<T>;
}
// alloc::sync
impl<T> Weak<T> {
pub const fn new() -> Weak<T>;
}
```
Closes#95091

This is an `Rc` that is guaranteed to only have one strong reference.
Because it is uniquely owned, it can safely implement `DerefMut`, which
allows programs to have an initialization phase where structures inside
the `Rc` can be mutated.
The `UniqueRc` can then be converted to a regular `Rc`, allowing sharing
and but read-only access.
During the "initialization phase," weak references can be created, but
attempting to upgrade these will fail until the `UniqueRc` has been
converted to a regular `Rc`. This feature can be useful to create
cyclic data structures.
This API is an implementation based on the feedback provided to the ACP
at https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/90.

Introduce `Rc::into_inner`, as a parallel to `Arc::into_inner`
Unlike `Arc`, `Rc` doesn't have the same race condition to avoid, but
maintaining an equivalent API still makes it easier to work with both
`Rc` and `Arc`.

Loosen the bound on the Debug implementation of Weak.
Both `rc::Weak<T>` and `sync::Weak<T>` currently require `T: Debug` in their own `Debug` implementations, but they don't currently use it; they only ever print a fixed string.
A general implementation of Debug for Weak that actually attempts to upgrade and rely on the contents is unlikely in the future because it may have unbounded recursion in the presence of reference cycles, which Weak is commonly used in. (This was the justification for why the current implementation [was implemented the way it is](f0976e2cf3)).
When I brought it up [on the forum](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/could-the-bound-on-weak-debug-be-relaxed/15504), it was suggested that, even if an implementation is specialized in the future that relies on the data stored within the Weak, it would likely rely on specialization anyway, and could therefore easily specialize on the Debug bound as well.
Clarify and restrict when `{Arc,Rc}::get_unchecked_mut` is allowed.
(Tracking issue for `{Arc,Rc}::get_unchecked_mut`: #63292)
(I'm using `Rc` in this comment, but it applies for `Arc` all the same).
As currently documented, `Rc::get_unchecked_mut` can lead to unsoundness when multiple `Rc`/`Weak` pointers to the same allocation exist. The current documentation only requires that other `Rc`/`Weak` pointers to the same allocation "must not be dereferenced for the duration of the returned borrow". This can lead to unsoundness in (at least) two ways: variance, and `Rc<str>`/`Rc<[u8]>` aliasing. ([playground link](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=d7e2d091c389f463d121630ab0a37320)).
This PR changes the documentation of `Rc::get_unchecked_mut` to restrict usage to when all `Rc<T>`/`Weak<T>` have the exact same `T` (including lifetimes). I believe this is sufficient to prevent unsoundness, while still allowing `get_unchecked_mut` to be called on an aliased `Rc` as long as the safety contract is upheld by the caller.
## Alternatives
* A less strict, but still sound alternative would be to say that the caller must only write values which are valid for all aliased `Rc`/`Weak` inner types. (This was [mentioned](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63292#issuecomment-568284090) in the tracking issue). This may be too complicated to clearly express in the documentation.
* A more strict alternative would be to say that there must not be any aliased `Rc`/`Weak` pointers, i.e. it is required that get_mut would return `Some(_)`. (This was also mentioned in the tracking issue). There is at least one codebase that this would cause to become unsound ([here](be5a164d77/src/memtable.rs (L166)), where additional locking is used to ensure unique access to an aliased `Rc<T>`; I saw this because it was linked on the tracking issue).
