I tried to add it only to methods which return results of intrinsics and don't have any branching.
Branching could made performance of debug builds (`-Copt-level=0`) worse.
Main goal of changes is allowing wider optimizations in `-Copt-level=1`.

This commit fixes the statement of the inequality that the Euclidean
remainder satisfies. (The remainder is guaranteed to be less than
abs(rhs), not rhs.) It also rewords the documentation to make it a
little easier to read.
Bump stabilization version for const int methods
These methods missed the beta cutoff. See #80962 for details.

Stabilize remaining integer methods as `const fn`
This pull request stabilizes the following methods as `const fn`:
- `i*::checked_div`
- `i*::checked_div_euclid`
- `i*::checked_rem`
- `i*::checked_rem_euclid`
- `i*::div_euclid`
- `i*::overflowing_div`
- `i*::overflowing_div_euclid`
- `i*::overflowing_rem`
- `i*::overflowing_rem_euclid`
- `i*::rem_euclid`
- `i*::wrapping_div`
- `i*::wrapping_div_euclid`
- `i*::wrapping_rem`
- `i*::wrapping_rem_euclid`
- `u*::checked_div`
- `u*::checked_div_euclid`
- `u*::checked_rem`
- `u*::checked_rem_euclid`
- `u*::div_euclid`
- `u*::overflowing_div`
- `u*::overflowing_div_euclid`
- `u*::overflowing_rem`
- `u*::overflowing_rem_euclid`
- `u*::rem_euclid`
- `u*::wrapping_div`
- `u*::wrapping_div_euclid`
- `u*::wrapping_rem`
- `u*::wrapping_rem_euclid`
These can all be implemented on the current stable (1.49). There are two unstable details: const likely/unlikely and unchecked division/remainder. Both of these are for optimizations, and are in no way required to make the methods function; there is no exposure of these details publicly. Per comments below, it seems best practice is to stabilize the intrinsics. As such, `intrinsics::unchecked_div` and `intrinsics::unchecked_rem` have been stabilized as `const` as part of this pull request as well. The methods themselves remain unstable.
I believe part of the reason these were not stabilized previously was the behavior around division by 0 and modulo 0. After testing on nightly, the diagnostic for something like `const _: i8 = 5i8 % 0i8;` is similar to that of `const _: i8 = 5i8.rem_euclid(0i8);` (assuming the appropriate feature flag is enabled). As such, I believe these methods are ready to be stabilized as `const fn`.
This pull request represents the final methods mentioned in #53718. As such, this PR closes#53718.

Stabilize `unsigned_abs`
Resolves#74913.
This PR stabilizes the `i*::unsigned_abs()` method, which returns the absolute value of an integer _as its unsigned equivalent_. This has the advantage that it does not overflow on `i*::MIN`.
I have gone ahead and used this in a couple locations throughout the repository.
Integer types have a `count_ones` method that end up calling
`intrinsics::ctpop`.
On some architectures, that intrinsic is translated as a corresponding
CPU instruction know as "popcount" or "popcnt".
This PR makes it so that searching for those names in rustdoc shows those methods.

Also stabilize constctlz for const ctlz_nonzero.
The public methods stabilized const by this commit are:
* `{i*,u*}::checked_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::saturating_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::wrapping_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::overflowing_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::pow`
* `u*::next_power_of_two`
* `u*::checked_next_power_of_two`
* `u*::wrapping_next_power_of_two` (the method itself is still unstable)
