Add `File` constructors that return files wrapped with a buffer
In addition to the light convenience, these are intended to raise visibility that buffering is something you should consider when opening a file, since unbuffered I/O is a common performance footgun to Rust newcomers.

Pin memchr to 2.5.0 in the library rather than rustc_ast
The latest versions of `memchr` experience LTO-related issues when compiling for windows-gnu [1], so needs to be pinned. The issue is present in the standard library.
`memchr` has been pinned in `rustc_ast`, but since the workspace was recently split, this pin no longer has any effect on library crates.
Resolve this by adding `memchr` as an _unused_ dependency in `std`, pinned to 2.5. Additionally, remove the pin in `rustc_ast` to allow non-library crates to upgrade to the latest version.

Add `optimize_for_size` variants for stable and unstable sort as well as select_nth_unstable
- Stable sort uses a simple merge-sort that re-uses the existing - rather gnarly - merge function.
- Unstable sort jumps directly to the branchless heapsort fallback.
- select_nth_unstable jumps directly to the median_of_medians fallback, which is augmented with a custom tiny smallsort and partition impl.
Some code is duplicated but de-duplication would bring it's own problems. For example `swap_if_less` is critical for performance, if the sorting networks don't inline it perf drops drastically, however `#[inline(always)]` is also a poor fit, if the provided comparison function is huge, it gives the compiler an out to only instantiate `swap_if_less` once and call it. Another aspect that would suffer when making `swap_if_less` pub, is having to cfg out dozens of functions in in smallsort module.

Mark `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` in `[u8]` and `str` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
This PR extends #130697 and #130713 to the similar methods in byte slices (`[u8]`) and string slices (`str`).
For the `str` methods, this simply requires adding the `const` specifier to the function signatures. The `[u8]` methods, however, require (at least a temporary) reimplementation due to the use of iterators and `for` loops.
Refactor the code in the `convert_while_ascii` helper function to make
it more suitable for auto-vectorization and also process the full ascii
prefix of the string. The generic case conversion logic will only be
invoked starting from the first non-ascii character.
The runtime on microbenchmarks with ascii-only inputs improves between
1.5x for short and 4x for long inputs on x86_64 and aarch64.
The new implementation also encapsulates all unsafe inside the
`convert_while_ascii` function.

Add test for `available_parallelism()`
This is a redo of [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104095).
I changed the location of the test as per comments in the original thread. Otherwise the test is practically the same.

Mark `u8::make_ascii_uppercase` and `u8::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
This PR extends #130697 by also marking the `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `u8` as const.
The `const_char_make_ascii` feature gate is additionally renamed to `const_make_ascii`.
Support `char::encode_utf16` in const scenarios.
Relevant tracking issue: #130660
The method `char::encode_utf16` should be marked "const" to allow compile-time conversions.
This PR additionally rewrites the `encode_utf16_raw` function for better readability whilst also reducing the amount of unsafe code.

Add str.as_str() for easy Deref to string slices
Working with `Box<str>` is cumbersome, because in places like `iter.filter()` it can end up being `&Box<str>` or even `&&Box<str>`, and such type doesn't always get auto-dereferenced as expected.
Dereferencing such box to `&str` requires ugly syntax like `&**boxed_str` or `&***boxed_str`, with the exact amount of `*`s.
`Box<str>` is [not easily comparable with other string types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129852) via `PartialEq`. `Box<str>` won't work for lookups in types like `HashSet<String>`, because `Borrow<String>` won't take types like `&Box<str>`. OTOH `set.contains(s.as_str())` works nicely regardless of levels of indirection.
`String` has a simple solution for this: the `as_str()` method, and `Box<str>` should too.
Mark `char::make_ascii_uppercase` and `char::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
The `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `char` should be marked "const."
With the stabilisation of [`const_mut_refs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57349/), this simply requires adding the `const` specifier to the function signatures.
ABI compatibility: mention Result guarantee
This has been already documented in https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/index.html#representation, but for `Option` we mirrored those docs in the "ABI compatibility" section, so let's do the same here.

Avoid re-validating UTF-8 in `FromUtf8Error::into_utf8_lossy`
Part of the unstable feature `string_from_utf8_lossy_owned` - #129436
Refactor `FromUtf8Error::into_utf8_lossy` to copy valid UTF-8 bytes into the buffer, avoiding double validation of bytes.
Add tests that mirror the `String::from_utf8_lossy` tests.
