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.
drop_in_place: weaken the claim of equivalence with drop(ptr.read())
The two are *not* semantically equivalent in all cases, so let's not be so definite about this.

offset: allow zero-byte offset on arbitrary pointers
As per prior `@rust-lang/opsem` [discussion](https://github.com/rust-lang/opsem-team/issues/10) and [FCP](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/472#issuecomment-1793409130):
- Zero-sized reads and writes are allowed on all sufficiently aligned pointers, including the null pointer
- Inbounds-offset-by-zero is allowed on all pointers, including the null pointer
- `offset_from` on two pointers derived from the same allocation is always allowed when they have the same address
This removes surprising UB (in particular, even C++ allows "nullptr + 0", which we currently disallow), and it brings us one step closer to an important theoretical property for our semantics ("provenance monotonicity": if operations are valid on bytes without provenance, then adding provenance can't make them invalid).
The minimum LLVM we require (v17) includes https://reviews.llvm.org/D154051, so we can finally implement this.
The `offset_from` change is needed to maintain the equivalence with `offset`: if `let ptr2 = ptr1.offset(N)` is well-defined, then `ptr2.offset_from(ptr1)` should be well-defined and return N. Now consider the case where N is 0 and `ptr1` dangles: we want to still allow offset_from here.
I think we should change offset_from further, but that's a separate discussion.

Add `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` as well, with similar
justification: widely useful, self-explanatory, unmistakeable for
anything else, won't produce conflicts.
Casting to `*const ()` or `*mut ()` just bloats the MIR, so let's not.
If ACP#362 goes through we can keep calling `ptr::from_raw_parts(_mut)` in these also without the cast, but that hasn't had any libs-api attention yet, so I'm not waiting on it.
rename ptr::from_exposed_addr -> ptr::with_exposed_provenance
As discussed on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-opsem/topic/To.20expose.20or.20not.20to.20expose/near/427757066).
The old name, `from_exposed_addr`, makes little sense as it's not the address that is exposed, it's the provenance. (`ptr.expose_addr()` stays unchanged as we haven't found a better option yet. The intended interpretation is "expose the provenance and return the address".)
The new name nicely matches `ptr::without_provenance`.
This is just one part of the MCP, but it's the one that IMHO removes the most noise from the standard library code.
Seems net simpler this way, since MIR already supported heterogeneous shifts anyway, and thus it's not more work for backends than before.
Let codegen decide when to `mem::swap` with immediates
Making `libcore` decide this is silly; the backend has so much better information about when it's a good idea.
Thus this PR introduces a new `typed_swap` intrinsic with a fallback body, and replaces that fallback implementation when swapping immediates or scalar pairs.

Replaces #111744, and means we'll never need more libs PRs like #111803 or #107140
const_eval_select: make it safe but be careful with what we expose on stable for now
As this is all still nightly-only I think `````@rust-lang/wg-const-eval````` can do that without involving t-lang.
r? `````@oli-obk`````
Cc `````@Nilstrieb````` -- the updated version of your RFC would basically say that we can remove these comments about not making behavior differences visible in stable `const fn`
assert_unsafe_precondition cleanup
I moved the polymorphic `is_nonoverlapping` into the `Cell` function that uses it and renamed `intrinsics::is_nonoverlapping_mono` to just `intrinsics::is_nonoverlapping`.
We now also have some docs for `intrinsics::debug_assertions`.

Add lint against ambiguous wide pointer comparisons
This PR is the resolution of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106447 decided in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117717 by T-lang.
## `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons`
*warn-by-default*
The `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons` lint checks comparison of `*const/*mut ?Sized` as the operands.
### Example
```rust
let ab = (A, B);
let a = &ab.0 as *const dyn T;
let b = &ab.1 as *const dyn T;
let _ = a == b;
```
### Explanation
The comparison includes metadata which may not be expected.
-------
This PR also drops `clippy::vtable_address_comparisons` which is superseded by this one.
~~One thing: is the current naming right? `invalid` seems a bit too much.~~

Add `std:#️⃣:{DefaultHasher, RandomState}` exports (needs FCP)
This implements rust-lang/libs-team#267 to move the libstd hasher types to `std::hash` where they belong, instead of `std::collections::hash_map`.
<details><summary>The below no longer applies, but is kept for clarity.</summary>
This is a small refactor for #27242, which moves the definitions of `RandomState` and `DefaultHasher` into `std::hash`, but in a way that won't be noticed in the public API.
I've opened rust-lang/libs-team#267 as a formal ACP to move these directly into the root of `std::hash`, but for now, they're at least separated out from the collections code in a way that will make moving that around easier.
I decided to simply copy the rustdoc for `std::hash` from `core::hash` since I think it would be ideal for the two to diverge longer-term, especially if the ACP is accepted. However, I would be willing to factor them out into a common markdown document if that's preferred.
</details>
