std: use an event-flag-based thread parker on SOLID
`Mutex` and `Condvar` are being replaced by more efficient implementations, which need thread parking themselves (see #93740). Therefore, the generic `Parker` needs to be replaced on all platforms where the new lock implementation will be used, which, after #96393, are SOLID, SGX and Hermit (more PRs coming soon).
SOLID, conforming to the [μITRON specification](http://www.ertl.jp/ITRON/SPEC/FILE/mitron-400e.pdf), has event flags, which are a thread parking primitive very similar to `Parker`. However, they do not make any atomic ordering guarantees (even though those can probably be assumed) and necessitate a system call even when the thread token is already available. Hence, this `Parker`, like the Windows parker, uses an extra atomic state variable.
I future-proofed the code by wrapping the event flag in a `WaitFlag` structure, as both SGX and Hermit can share the Parker implementation, they just have slightly different primitives (SGX uses signals and Hermit has a thread blocking API).

Add a `is_known_utf8` flag to `Wtf8Buf`, which tracks whether the
string is known to contain UTF-8. This is efficiently computed in many
common situations, such as when a `Wtf8Buf` is constructed from a `String`
or `&str`, or with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide` which is already doing UTF-16
decoding and already checking for surrogates.
This makes `OsString::into_string` O(1) rather than O(N) on Windows in
common cases.
And, it eliminates the need to scan through the string for surrogates in
`Args::next` and `Vars::next`, because the strings are already being
translated with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`.
Many things on Windows construct `OsString`s with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`,
such as `DirEntry::file_name` and `fs::read_link`, so with this patch,
users of those functions can subsequently call `.into_string()` without
paying for an extra scan through the string for surrogates.
The oldest occurence is from 9e224c2bf1,
which is from the pre-1.0 days. In the years since then, std::sys still
hasn't been exported, and the last attempt was met with strong criticism:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97151
Thus, removing the "yet" part makes a lot of sense.
Use futex-based locks and thread parker on {Free, Open, DragonFly}BSD.
This switches *BSD to our futex-based locks and thread parker.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93740
This is a draft, because this still needs a new version of the `libc` crate to be published that includes https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/2770.

Relax memory ordering used in SameMutexCheck
`SameMutexCheck` only requires atomicity for `self.addr`, but does not need ordering of other memory accesses in either the success or failure case. Using `Relaxed`, the code still correctly handles the case when two threads race to store an address.

`min_stack` does not provide any synchronization guarantees to its callers, and only requires atomicity for `MIN` itself, so relaxed memory ordering is sufficient.
std: directly use pthread in UNIX parker implementation
`Mutex` and `Condvar` are being replaced by more efficient implementations, which need thread parking themselves (see #93740). Therefore we should use the `pthread` synchronization primitives directly. Also, we can avoid allocating the mutex and condition variable because the `Parker` struct is being placed in an `Arc` anyways.
This basically is just a copy of the current `Mutex` and `Condvar` code, which will however be removed (again, see #93740). An alternative implementation could be to use dedicated private `OsMutex` and `OsCondvar` types, but all the other platforms supported by std actually have their own thread parking primitives.
I used `Pin` to guarantee a stable address for the `Parker` struct, while the current implementation does not, rather using extra unsafe declaration. Since the thread struct is shared anyways, I assumed this would not add too much clutter while being clearer.
Mutex and Condvar are being replaced by more efficient implementations, which need thread parking themselves (see #93740). Therefore use the pthread synchronization primitives directly. Also, avoid allocating because the Parker struct is being placed in an Arc anyways.
This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
POSIX allows `getsockopt` to set `*option_len` to a smaller value if
necessary. Windows will set `*option_len` to 1 for boolean options even
when the caller passes a `BOOL` (`int`) with `*option_len` as 4.
Previously `level` was named `opt` and `option_name` was named `val`,
then extra names of `payload` or `slot` were used for the option value.
This change aligns the wrapper parameters with their names in POSIX.
Winsock uses similar but more abbreviated names: `level`, `optname`,
`optval`, `optlen`.
