Clarify `Error::last_os_error` can be weird
Fundamentally, querying the OS for error codes is a process that is deeply subject to the whims of chance and fortune. We can account for OS, but not for every combination of platform APIs. A compiled binary may not recognize new errors introduced years later. We should clarify a few especially odd situations, and what they mean: We can effectively promise nothing... if you ask for Rust to decode errors where none have occurred.
This allows removing mention of ErrorKind::Uncategorized.
That error variant is hidden deliberately, so we should not explicitly mention it.
This fixes#106937.
Since you had an opinion also: Does this solution seem acceptable?

Implement read_buf for a few more types
Implement read_buf for TcpStream, Stdin, StdinLock, ChildStdout,
ChildStderr (and internally for AnonPipe, Handle, Socket), so
that it skips buffer initialization.
The other provided methods like read_to_string and read_to_end are
implemented in terms of read_buf and so benefit from the optimization
as well.
This commit also implements read_vectored and is_read_vectored where
applicable.
Guarantee that when `read_buf_exact` returns, all bytes read will be
appended to the buffer. Including the case when the operations fails.
The motivating use case are operations on a non-blocking reader. When
`read_buf_exact` fails with `ErrorKind::WouldBlock` error, the operation
can be resumed at a later time.

Add `IsTerminal` trait to determine if a descriptor or handle is a terminal
The UNIX implementation uses `isatty`. The Windows implementation uses
the same logic the `atty` crate uses, including the hack needed to
detect msys terminals.
Implement this trait for `Stdin`/`Stdout`/`Stderr`/`File` on all
platforms. On Unix, implement it for `BorrowedFd`/`OwnedFd`. On Windows,
implement it for `BorrowedHandle`/`OwnedHandle`.

Use memset to initialize readbuf
The write loop was found to be slow in #102727
The proper fix is in #102760 but this might still help debug builds and code running under miri by using the write_bytes intrinsic instead of writing one byte at a time.
Make tests capture the error printed by a Result return
An error returned by tests previously would get written directly to stderr, instead of to the capture buffer set up by the test harness. This PR makes it write to the capture buffer so that it can be integrated as part of the test output by build tools such as `buck test`, since being able to read the error message returned by a test is pretty critical to debugging why the test failed.
<br>
**Before:**
```rust
// tests/test.rs
#[test]
fn test() -> Result<(), &'static str> {
println!("STDOUT");
eprintln!("STDERR");
Err("RESULT")
}
```
```console
$ cargo build --test test
$ target/debug/deps/test-???????????????? -Z unstable-options --format=json
{ "type": "suite", "event": "started", "test_count": 1 }
{ "type": "test", "event": "started", "name": "test" }
Error: "RESULT"
{ "type": "test", "name": "test", "event": "failed", "stdout": "STDOUT\nSTDERR\n" }
{ "type": "suite", "event": "failed", "passed": 0, "failed": 1, "ignored": 0, "measured": 0, "filtered_out": 0, "exec_time": 0.00040313 }
```
**After:**
```console
$ target/debug/deps/test-???????????????? -Z unstable-options --format=json
{ "type": "suite", "event": "started", "test_count": 1 }
{ "type": "test", "event": "started", "name": "test" }
{ "type": "test", "name": "test", "event": "failed", "stdout": "STDOUT\nSTDERR\nError: \"RESULT\"" }
{ "type": "suite", "event": "failed", "passed": 0, "failed": 1, "ignored": 0, "measured": 0, "filtered_out": 0, "exec_time": 0.000261894 }
```
Printing to stdio/stderr that have been opened with non-blocking
(O_NONBLOCK in linux) can result in an error, which is not handled
by std::io module causing a panic.

Make `ReentrantMutex` movable and `const`
As `MovableMutex` is now `const`, it can be used to simplify the implementation and interface of the internal reentrant mutex type. Consequently, the standard error stream does not need to be wrapped in `OnceLock` and `OnceLock::get_or_init_pin()` can be removed.
Make use of `[wrapping_]byte_{add,sub}`
These new methods trivially replace old `.cast().wrapping_offset().cast()` & similar code.
Note that [`arith_offset`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/intrinsics/fn.arith_offset.html) and `wrapping_offset` are the same thing.

_split off from #100746_
Add mention of `BufReader` in `Read::bytes` docs
There is a general paragraph about `BufRead` in the `Read` trait's docs, however using `bytes` without `BufRead` *always* has a large impact, due to reads of size 1.

Add standard C error function aliases to last_os_error
This aids the discoverability of `io::Error::last_os_error()` by linking to commonly used error number functions from C/C++.
I've seen a few people not realize this exists, so hopefully this helps draw attention to the API to encourage using it over integer error codes.
std::io: migrate ReadBuf to BorrowBuf/BorrowCursor
This PR replaces `ReadBuf` (used by the `Read::read_buf` family of methods) with `BorrowBuf` and `BorrowCursor`.
The general idea is to split `ReadBuf` because its API is large and confusing. `BorrowBuf` represents a borrowed buffer which is mostly read-only and (other than for construction) deals only with filled vs unfilled segments. a `BorrowCursor` is a mostly write-only view of the unfilled part of a `BorrowBuf` which distinguishes between initialized and uninitialized segments. For `Read::read_buf`, the caller would create a `BorrowBuf`, then pass a `BorrowCursor` to `read_buf`.
In addition to the major API split, I've made the following smaller changes:
* Removed some methods entirely from the API (mostly the functionality can be replicated with two calls rather than a single one)
* Unified naming, e.g., by replacing initialized with init and assume_init with set_init
* Added an easy way to get the number of bytes written to a cursor (`written` method)
As well as simplifying the API (IMO), this approach has the following advantages:
* Since we pass the cursor by value, we remove the 'unsoundness footgun' where a malicious `read_buf` could swap out the `ReadBuf`.
* Since `read_buf` cannot write into the filled part of the buffer, we prevent the filled part shrinking or changing which could cause underflow for the caller or unexpected behaviour.
## Outline
```rust
pub struct BorrowBuf<'a>
impl Debug for BorrowBuf<'_>
impl<'a> From<&'a mut [u8]> for BorrowBuf<'a>
impl<'a> From<&'a mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]> for BorrowBuf<'a>
impl<'a> BorrowBuf<'a> {
pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
pub fn len(&self) -> usize
pub fn init_len(&self) -> usize
pub fn filled(&self) -> &[u8]
pub fn unfilled<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'a>
pub fn clear(&mut self) -> &mut Self
pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
}
pub struct BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data>
impl<'buf, 'data> BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data> {
pub fn clone<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'data>
pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
pub fn written(&self) -> usize
pub fn init_ref(&self) -> &[u8]
pub fn init_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]
pub fn uninit_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
pub unsafe fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
pub unsafe fn advance(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn ensure_init(&mut self) -> &mut Self
pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn append(&mut self, buf: &[u8])
}
```
## TODO
* ~~Migrate non-unix libs and tests~~
* ~~Naming~~
* ~~`BorrowBuf` or `BorrowedBuf` or `SliceBuf`? (We might want an owned equivalent for the async IO traits)~~
* ~~Should we rename the `readbuf` module? We might keep the name indicate it includes both the buf and cursor variations and someday the owned version too. Or we could change it. It is not publicly exposed, so it is not that important~~.
* ~~`read_buf` method: we read into the cursor now, so the `_buf` suffix is a bit weird.~~
* ~~Documentation~~
* Tests are incomplete (I adjusted existing tests, but did not add new ones).
