Update documentation for `write!` and `writeln!`
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37472 added this documentation, but it
needs updating:
- Remove some documentation duplicated between `writeln!` and `write!`
- Update `write!` docs: can now import traits as `_` to avoid conflicts
- Expand example to show how to implement qualified trait names
Without this change, in <https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.63.0/std/#primitives>,
`reference` is the only entry in that list which does not contain the
syntax by which the type is named in source code. With this change, it
contains them, in roughly the same way as the `pointer` entry does.
Reduce code size of `assert_matches_failed`
Using `write_str` instead of `<str as Display>::fmt` avoids the `pad` function which is very expensive to have in size-constrained code.
make slice::{split_at,split_at_unchecked} const functions
Now that `slice::from_raw_parts` is const in stable 1.64, it makes sense to have `split_at` const as well, otherwise unsafe code is required to achieve a const equivalent.
is_whitespace() performance improvements
This is my first rust PR, so if I miss anything obvious please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
This was a bit more of a challenge than I realized because, while I made working code locally and tested it against the native `is_whitespace()`, this PR required changing `src/tools/unicode-table-generator`, the code that generated the code.
I have benchmarked this locally, using criterion, and have seen meaningful performance improvements. I can add those outputs to this if you'd like, but am guessing that the perf run that `@fmease` recommended is what's needed.
I have run ` ./x.py test --stage 0 library/std` after building it locally after executing `./x.py build library`. I didn't try to build the whole compiler, but maybe I should have - any guidance would be appreciated.
If this general approach makes sense, I'll take a look at some other candidate categories, e.g., `Cc`, in the future.
Oh, and I wasn't sure whether the generated code should be included in this PR or not. I did include it.

Rewrite error index generator to greatly reduce the size of the pages
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/100736.
Instead of having all error codes in a same page (making the DOM way too big), I split the output into multiple files and generated a list of links (if there is an explanation) to the error codes' explanation into the already existing file.
I also used this opportunity to greatly simplify the code. Instead of needing a `build.rs`, I simply imported the file we want and wrote the macro which generates a function containing everything we need. We just need to call it to get the error codes and their explanation (if any). Also, considering the implementations between markdown and HTML formats differed even further, the `Formatter` trait was becoming too problematic so I removed it too.
You can test it [here](https://rustdoc.crud.net/imperio/rewrite-error-index/error-index.html).

Move Error trait into core
This PR moves the error trait from the standard library into a new unstable `error` module within the core library. The goal of this PR is to help unify error reporting across the std and no_std ecosystems, as well as open the door to integrating the error trait into the panic reporting system when reporting panics whose source is an errors (such as via `expect`).
This PR is a rewrite of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90328 using new compiler features that have been added to support error in core.
While the `provide_*` methods already short-circuit when a value has
been provided, there are times where an expensive computation is
needed to determine if the `provide_*` method can even be called.
Use pointer `is_aligned*` methods
This PR replaces some manual alignment checks with calls to `pointer::{is_aligned, is_aligned_to}` and removes a useless pointer cast.

Std module docs improvements
My primary goal is to create a cleaner separation between primitive types and primitive type helper modules (fixes#92777). I also changed a few header lines in other top-level std modules (seen at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/) for consistency.
Some conventions used/established:
* "The \`Box\<T>` type for heap allocation." - if a module mainly provides a single type, name it and summarize its purpose in the module header
* "Utilities for the _ primitive type." - this wording is used for the header of helper modules
* Documentation for primitive types themselves are removed from helper modules
* provided-by-core functionality of primitive types is documented in the primitive type instead of the helper module (such as the "Iteration" section in the slice docs)
I wonder if some content in `std::ptr` should be in `pointer` but I did not address this.
Replace most uses of `pointer::offset` with `add` and `sub`
As PR title says, it replaces `pointer::offset` in compiler and standard library with `pointer::add` and `pointer::sub`. This generally makes code cleaner, easier to grasp and removes (or, well, hides) integer casts.
This is generally trivially correct, `.offset(-constant)` is just `.sub(constant)`, `.offset(usized as isize)` is just `.add(usized)`, etc. However in some cases we need to be careful with signs of things.

Make some docs nicer wrt pointer offsets
This PR replaces `pointer::offset` with `pointer::add` and similarly `.cast().wrapping_add().cast()` with `.wrapping_byte_add()` **in docs**.

Clamp Function for f32 and f64
I thought the clamp function could use a little improvement for readability purposes. The function now returns early in order to skip the extra bound checks.
If there was a reason for binding `self` to `x` or if this code is incorrect, please correct me :)
This commit adds the following functions all of which have a signature
`pointer, usize -> pointer`:
- `<*mut T>::mask`
- `<*const T>::mask`
- `intrinsics::ptr_mask`
These functions are equivalent to `.map_addr(|a| a & mask)` but they
utilize `llvm.ptrmask` llvm intrinsic.
