Optimize away poison guards when std is built with panic=abort
> **Note**: To take advantage of this PR, you will have to use `-Zbuild-std` or build your own toolchain. rustup toolchains always link to a libstd that was compiled with `panic=unwind`, since it's compatible with `panic=abort` code.
When std is compiled with `panic=abort` we can remove a lot of the poison machinery from the locks. This changes the `Flag` and `Guard` types to be ZSTs. It also adds an uninhabited member to `PoisonError` so the compiler knows it can optimize away the `Result::Err` paths, and make `LockResult<T>` layout-equivalent to `T`.
### Is this a breaking change?
`PoisonError::new` now panics if invoked from a libstd built with `panic="abort"` (or any non-`unwind` strategy). It is unclear to me whether to consider this a breaking change.
In order to encounter this behavior, **both of the following must be true**:
#### Using a libstd with `panic="abort"`
This is pretty uncommon. We don't build libstd with that in rustup, except in (Tier 2-3) platforms that do not support unwinding, **most notably wasm**.
Most people who do this are using cargo's `-Z build-std` feature, which is unstable.
`panic="abort"` is not a supported option in Rust's build system. It is possible to configure it using `CARGO_TARGET_xxx_RUSTFLAGS`, but I believe this only works on **non-host** platforms.
#### Creating `PoisonError` manually
This is also unlikely. The only common use case I can think of is in tests, and you can't run tests with `panic="abort"` without the unstable `-Z panic_abort_tests` flag.
It's possible that someone is implementing their own locks using std's `PoisonError` **and** defining "thread failure" to mean something other than "panic". If this is the case then we would break their code if it was used with a `panic="abort"` libstd. The locking crates I know of don't replicate std's poison API, but I haven't done much research into this yet.
I've touched on a fair number of considerations here. Which ones do people consider relevant?
`compile_fail` should only be used when the code is meant to show
what *not* to do. In other words, there should be a fundamental flaw
in the code. However, in this case, the example is just incomplete,
so we should use `ignore` to avoid confusing readers.
Implement sys/thread for UEFI
Since UEFI has no concept of threads, most of this module can be ignored. However, implementing parts that make sense.
- Implement sleep
- Implement available_parallelism
Replace pthread `RwLock` with custom implementation
This is one of the last items in #93740. I'm doing `RwLock` first because it is more self-contained and has less tradeoffs to make. The motivation is explained in the documentation, but in short: the pthread rwlock is slow and buggy and `std` can do much better. I considered implementing a parking lot, as was discussed in the tracking issue, but settled for the queue-based version because writing self-balancing binary trees is not fun in Rust...
This is a rather complex change, so I have added quite a bit of documentation to help explain it. Please point out any part that could be explained better.
~~The read performance is really good, I'm getting 4x the throughput of the pthread version and about the same performance as usync/parking_lot on an Apple M1 Max in the usync benchmark suite, but the write performance still falls way behind what usync and parking_lot achieve. I tried using a separate queue lock like what usync uses, but that didn't help. I'll try to investigate further in the future, but I wanted to get some eyes on this first.~~ [Resolved](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110211#issuecomment-1513682336)

Make cmath.rs a single file
It makes sense to have this all in one file. There's essentially only one target that has missing symbols and that's easy enough to handle inline.
Note that the Windows definitions used to use `c_float` and `c_double` whereas the other platforms all used `f32` and `f64`. They've now been made consistent. However, `c_float` and `c_double` have the expected definitions on all Windows platforms we support.
Since UEFI has no concept of threads, most of this module can be
ignored. However, implementing parts that make sense.

Introducing a new config for this purpose as NetBSD 9 or 8 will be still around
for a good while. For now, we re finally enabling sys::unix::rand::getrandom.
up to now, it had been assumed the stack guard setting default is not
touched in the field but some user might just want to disable it or
increase it. checking it once at runtime should be enough.
Always check the result of `pthread_mutex_lock`
Fixes#120147.
Instead of manually adding a list of "good" platforms, I've simply made the check unconditional. pthread's mutex is already quite slow on most platforms, so one single well-predictable branch shouldn't hurt performance too much.
fix#120603 by adding a check in default_read_buf
Fixes#120603 by checking the returned read n is in-bounds of the cursor.
Interestingly, I noticed that `BorrowedBuf` side-steps this issue by using checked accesses. Maybe this can be switched to unchecked to mirror what BufReader does bf3c6c5bed/library/core/src/io/borrowed_buf.rs (L95)
Store SHOULD_CAPTURE as AtomicU8
`BacktraceStyle` easily fits into a u8, so `SHOULD_CAPTURE`, which is just `Atomic<Option<BacktraceStyle>>`, should be stored as `AtomicU8`
