Add `size_of` and `size_of_val` and `align_of` and `align_of_val` to the prelude
(Note: need to update the PR to add `align_of` and `align_of_val`, and remove the second commit with the myriad changes to appease the lint.)
Many, many projects use `size_of` to get the size of a type. However,
it's also often equally easy to hardcode a size (e.g. `8` instead of
`size_of::<u64>()`). Minimizing friction in the use of `size_of` helps
ensure that people use it and make code more self-documenting.
The name `size_of` is unambiguous: the name alone, without any prefix or
path, is self-explanatory and unmistakeable for any other functionality.
Adding it to the prelude cannot produce any name conflicts, as any local
definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't
need to wait for a new edition prelude to add it.

Explain differences between `{Once,Lazy}{Cell,Lock}` types
The question of "which once-ish cell-ish type should I use?" has been raised multiple times, and is especially important now that we have stabilized the `LazyCell` and `LazyLock` types. The answer for the `Lazy*` types is that you would be better off using them if you want to use what is by far the most common pattern: initialize it with a single nullary function that you would call at every `get_or_init` site. For everything else there's the `Once*` types.
"For everything else" is a somewhat weak motivation, as it only describes by negation. While contrasting them is inevitable, I feel positive motivations are more understandable. For this, I now offer a distinct example that helps explain why `OnceLock` can be useful, despite `LazyLock` existing: you can do some cool stuff with it that `LazyLock` simply can't support due to its mere definition.
The pair of `std::sync::*Lock`s are usable inside a `static`, and can serve roles in async or multithreaded (or asynchronously multithreaded) programs that `*Cell`s cannot. Because of this, they received most of my attention.

Change pedantically incorrect OnceCell/OnceLock wording
While the semantic intent of a OnceCell/OnceLock is that it can only be written to once (upon init), the fact of the matter is that both these types offer a `take(&mut self) -> Option<T>` mechanism that, when successful, resets the cell to its initial state, thereby [technically allowing it to be written to again](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=415c023a6ae1ef35f371a2d3bb1aa735)
Despite the fact that this can only happen with a mutable reference (generally only used during the construction of the OnceCell/OnceLock), it would be incorrect to say that the type itself as a whole *categorically* prevents being initialized or written to more than once (since it is possible to imagine an identical type only without the `take()` method that actually fulfills that contract).
To clarify, change "that cannot be.." to "that nominally cannot.." and add a note to OnceCell about what can be done with an `&mut Self` reference.

Make TLS accessors closures that return pointers
The current TLS macros generate a function that returns an `Option<&'static T>`. This is both risky as we lie about lifetimes, and necessitates that those functions are `unsafe`. By returning a `*const T` instead, the accessor function do not have safety requirements any longer and can be made closures without hassle. This PR does exactly that!
For native TLS, the closure approach makes it trivial to select the right accessor function at compile-time, which could result in a slight speed-up (I have the hope that the accessors are now simple enough for the MIR-inliner to kick in).
on netbsd, procfs is not as central as on linux/solaris thus
can be perfectly not mounted.
Thus using fcntl with F_GETPATH, the kernel deals with MAXPATHLEN
internally too.
While slightly verbose, it helps explain "why bother with OnceLock?"
This is a point of confusion that has been raised multiple times
shortly before and after the stabilization of LazyLock.
This example is spiritually an example of LazyLock, as it computes a
variable at runtime but accepts no inputs into that process.
It is also slightly simpler and thus easier to understand.
Change it to an even-more concise version and move it to LazyLock.
The example now editorializes slightly more. This may be unnecessary,
but it can be educational for the reader.

Make more of the test suite run on Mac Catalyst
Combined with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125225, the only failing parts of the test suite are in `tests/rustdoc-js`, `tests/rustdoc-js-std` and `tests/debuginfo`. Tested with:
```console
./x test --target=aarch64-apple-ios-macabi library/std
./x test --target=aarch64-apple-ios-macabi --skip=tests/rustdoc-js --skip=tests/rustdoc-js-std --skip=tests/debuginfo tests
```
Will probably put up a PR later to enable _running_ on (not just compiling for) Mac Catalyst in CI, though not sure where exactly I should do so? `src/ci/github-actions/jobs.yml`?
Note that I've deliberately _not_ enabled stack overflow handlers on iOS/tvOS/watchOS/visionOS (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25872), but rather just skipped those tests, as it uses quite a few APIs that I'd be weary about getting rejected by the App Store (note that Swift doesn't do it on those platforms either).

This adds the `only-apple`/`ignore-apple` compiletest directive, and
uses that basically everywhere instead of `only-macos`/`ignore-macos`.
Some of the updates in `run-make` are a bit redundant, as they use
`ignore-cross-compile` and won't run on iOS - but using Apple in these
is still more correct, so I've made that change anyhow.
Less syscalls for the `copy_file_range` probe
If it's obvious from the actual syscall results themselves that the syscall is supported or unsupported, don't do an extra syscall with an invalid file descriptor.

Panic if `PathBuf::set_extension` would add a path separator
This is likely never intended and potentially a security vulnerability if it happens.
I'd guess that it's mostly literal strings that are passed to this function in practice, so I'm guessing this doesn't break anyone.

Cleanup check-cfg handling in core and std
Follow-up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125296 where we:
- expect any feature cfg in std, due to `#[path]` imports
- move some check-cfg args inside the `build.rs` as per Cargo recommendation
- and replace the fake Cargo feature `"restricted-std"` by the custom cfg `restricted_std`

r? `@bjorn3` (maybe, feel free to re-roll)
I’ve found myself visiting the documentation for `std::env::vars`
every few months, and every time I do, it is because I want to quickly
get a snippet to print out all environment variables :-)
So I think it could be nice to simplify the examples a little to make
them self-contained. It is of course a style question if one should
import a module a not, but I personally don’t import modules used just
once in a code snippet.
Use functions from `crt_externs.h` on iOS/tvOS/watchOS/visionOS
Use `_NSGetEnviron`, `_NSGetArgc` and `_NSGetArgv` on iOS/tvOS/watchOS/visionOS, see each commit and the code comments for details. This allows us to unify more code with the macOS implementation, as well as avoiding linking to the `Foundation` framework (which is good for startup performance).
The biggest problem with doing this would be if it lead to App Store rejections. After doing a bunch of research on this, while [it did happen once in 2009](https://blog.unity.com/engine-platform/unity-app-store-submissions-problem-solved), I find it fairly unlikely to happen nowadays, especially considering that Apple has later _added_ `crt_externs.h` to the iOS/tvOS/watchOS/visionOS SDKs, strongly signifying the functions therein is indeed supported on those platforms (even though they lack an availability attribute).
That we've been overly cautious here has also been noted by `@thomcc` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117910#issuecomment-1903372350.

The behavior makes sense because `Path::new("one_component").parent() ==
Some(Path::new(""))`, so if one naively wants to create the parent
directory for a file to be written, it simply works.
Closes#105108 by documenting the current behavior.
