Waker::will_wake: Compare vtable address instead of its content
Optimize will_wake implementation by comparing vtable address instead of its content.
The existing best practice to avoid false negatives from will_wake is to define a waker vtable as a static item. That approach continues to works with the new implementation.
While this potentially changes the observable behaviour, the function is documented to work on a best-effort basis. The PartialEq impl for RawWaker remains as it was.
Additional doc links and explanation of `Wake`.
This is intended to clarify:
* That `Wake` exists and can be used instead of `RawWaker`.
* How to construct a `Waker` when you are looking at `Wake` (which was previously only documented in the example).

This also removes
* impl From<&Context> for ContextBuilder
* Context::try_waker()
The from implementation is removed because now that
wakers are always supported, there are less incentives
to override the current context. Before, the incentive
was to add Waker support to a reactor that didn't have
any.
The advantage of this is that it does not need to be assigned to a
variable to be used in a `Context` creation, which is the most common
thing to want to do with a noop waker.
If an owned noop waker is desired, it can be created by cloning, but the
reverse is harder. Alternatively, both versions could be provided, like
`futures::task::noop_waker()` and `futures::task::noop_waker_ref()`, but
that seems to me to be API clutter for a very small benefit, whereas
having the `&'static` reference available is a large benefit.

detects redundant imports that can be eliminated.

In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
Add `task::Waker::noop`
I have found myself reimplementing this function many times when I need a `Context` but don't have a runtime or `futures` to hand.
Prior art: [`futures::task::noop_waker`](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3/futures/task/fn.noop_waker.html) and [`futures::task::noop_waker_ref`](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3/futures/task/fn.noop_waker_ref.html)
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98286
Unresolved questions:
1. Should we also add `RawWaker::noop()`? (I don't think so, I can't think of a use case for it)
2. Should we also add `Context::noop()`? Depending on the future direction `Context` goes a "noop context" might not even make sense in future.
3. Should it be an associated constant instead? That would allow for `let cx = &mut Context::from_waker(&Waker::NOOP);` to work on one line which is pretty nice. I don't really know what the guideline is here.

- Eliminates all the `get_context` calls that async lowering created.
- Replace all `Local` `ResumeTy` types with `&mut Context<'_>`.
The `Local`s that have their types replaced are:
- The `resume` argument itself.
- The argument to `get_context`.
- The yielded value of a `yield`.
The `ResumeTy` hides a `&mut Context<'_>` behind an unsafe raw pointer, and the
`get_context` function is being used to convert that back to a `&mut Context<'_>`.
Ideally the async lowering would not use the `ResumeTy`/`get_context` indirection,
but rather directly use `&mut Context<'_>`, however that would currently
lead to higher-kinded lifetime errors.
See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/105501>.
The async lowering step and the type / lifetime inference / checking are
still using the `ResumeTy` indirection for the time being, and that indirection
is removed here. After this transform, the generator body only knows about `&mut Context<'_>`.
Replaces using `ResumeTy` / `get_context` in favor of using `&'static mut Context<'_>`.
Usage of the `'static` lifetime here is technically "cheating", and replaces
the raw pointer in `ResumeTy` and the `get_context` fn that pulls the
correct lifetimes out of thin air.
Previously, async constructs would be lowered to "normal" generators,
with an additional `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim in between to
convert from `Generator` to `Future`.
The compiler will now special-case these generators internally so that
async constructs will *directly* implement `Future` without the need
to go through the `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim.
The primary motivation for this change was hiding this implementation
detail in stack traces and debuginfo, but it can in theory also help
the optimizer as there is less abstractions to see through.
