Implement checked_add_duration for SystemTime
[Original discussion on the rust user forum](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/std-systemtime-misses-a-checked-add-function/21785)
Since `SystemTime` is opaque there is no way to check if the result of an addition will be in bounds. That makes the `Add<Duration>` trait completely unusable with untrusted data. This is a big problem because adding a `Duration` to `UNIX_EPOCH` is the standard way of constructing a `SystemTime` from a unix timestamp.
This PR implements `checked_add_duration(&self, &Duration) -> Option<SystemTime>` for `std::time::SystemTime` and as a prerequisite also for all platform specific time structs. This also led to the refactoring of many `add_duration(&self, &Duration) -> SystemTime` functions to avoid redundancy (they now unwrap the result of `checked_add_duration`).
Some basic unit tests for the newly introduced function were added too.
I wasn't sure which stabilization attribute to add to the newly introduced function, so I just chose `#[stable(feature = "time_checked_add", since = "1.32.0")]` for now to make it compile. Please let me know how I should change it or if I violated any other conventions.
P.S.: I could only test on Linux so far, so I don't necessarily expect it to compile for all platforms.

This commit deletes the `alloc_system` crate from the standard
distribution. This unstable crate is no longer needed in the modern
stable global allocator world, but rather its functionality is folded
directly into the standard library. The standard library was already the
only stable location to access this crate, and as a result this should
not affect any stable code.
set cfg(rustdoc) when rustdoc is running on a crate
When using `#[doc(cfg)]` to document platform-specific items, it's a little cumbersome to get all the platforms' items to appear all at once. For example, the standard library adds `--cfg dox` to rustdoc's command line whenever it builds docs, and the documentation for `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` suggests using a Cargo feature to approximate the same thing. This is a little awkward, because you always need to remember to set `--features dox` whenever you build documentation.
This PR proposes making rustdoc set `#[cfg(rustdoc)]` whenever it runs on a crate, to provide an officially-sanctioned version of this that is set automatically. This way, there's a standardized way to declare that a certain version of an item is specifically when building docs.
To try to prevent the spread of this feature from happening too quickly, this PR also restricts the use of this flag to whenever `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` is active. I'm sure there are other uses for this, but right now i'm tying it to this feature. (If it makes more sense to give this its own feature, i can easily do that.)
This commit adds the necessary definitions for target specs and such as well as
the necessary support in libstd to compile basic `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`
binaries. The target is not currently built on CI, but it can be built locally
with:
./configure --target=aarch64-pc-windows-msvc --set rust.lld
./x.py build src/libstd --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
Currently this fails to build `libtest` due to a linker bug (seemingly in LLD?)
which hasn't been investigate yet. Otherwise though with libstd you can build a
hello world program (linked with LLD). I've not tried to execute it yet, but it
at least links!
Full support for this target is still a long road ahead, but this is hopefully a
good stepping stone to get started.
Points of note about this target are:
* Currently defaults to `panic=abort` as support is still landing in LLVM for
SEH on AArch64.
* Currently defaults to LLD as a linker as I was able to get farther with it
than I was with `link.exe`
There are a few places where we mention the replacement character in the
docs, and it could be helpful for users to utilize the constant which is
available in the standard library, so let’s link to it!
PR #47252 switched stack inspection functions of dbghelp.dll
to their newer alternatives that also capture inlined context.
Unfortunately, said new alternatives are not present in older
dbghelp.dll versions.
In particular Windows 7 at the time of writing has dbghelp.dll
version 6.1.7601 from 2010, that lacks StackWalkEx and friends.
Fixes#50138
Add doc links to `std::os` extension traits
Addresses a small subset of #29367.
This adds documentation links to the original type for various OS-specific extension traits, and uses a common sentence for introducing such traits (which now consistently ends in a period).
std: Minimize size of panicking on wasm
This commit applies a few code size optimizations for the wasm target to
the standard library, namely around panics. We notably know that in most
configurations it's impossible for us to print anything in
wasm32-unknown-unknown so we can skip larger portions of panicking that
are otherwise simply informative. This allows us to get quite a nice
size reduction.
Finally we can also tweak where the allocation happens for the
`Box<Any>` that we panic with. By only allocating once unwinding starts
we can reduce the size of a panicking wasm module from 44k to 350 bytes.
Use box syntax instead of Box::new in Mutex::remutex on Windows
The Box::new(mem::uninitialized()) pattern actually actively copies
uninitialized bytes from the stack into the box, which is a waste of
time. Using the box syntax instead avoids the useless copy.
Add documentation links to the original type for various OS-specific
extension traits and normalize the language for introducing such traits.
Also, remove some outdated comments around the extension trait
definitions.

std: Inline some Termination-related methods
These were showing up in tests and in binaries but are trivially optimize-able
away, so add `#[inline]` attributes so LLVM has an opportunity to optimize them
out.

rustc_driver: get rid of the extra thread
**Do not rollup**
We can alter the stack size afterwards on Unix.
Having a separate thread causes poor debugging experience when interrupting with signals. I have to get the backtrace of the all thread, as the main thread is waiting to join doing nothing else. This patch allows me to just run `bt` to get the desired backtrace.
