Avoid allocations and copying in Vec::leak
The [`Vec::leak`] method (#62195) is currently implemented by calling `Vec::into_boxed_slice` and `Box::leak`. This shrinks the vector before leaking it, which potentially causes a reallocation and copies the vector's contents.
By avoiding the conversion to `Box`, we can instead leak the vector without any expensive operations, just by returning a slice reference and forgetting the `Vec`. Users who *want* to shrink the vector first can still do so by calling `shrink_to_fit` explicitly.
**Note:** This could break code that uses `Box::from_raw` to “un-leak” the slice returned by `Vec::leak`. However, the `Vec::leak` docs explicitly forbid this, so such code is already incorrect.

Correctly handle supertraits for min_specialization
Supertraits of specialization markers could circumvent checks for
min_specialization. Elaborating predicates prevents this.

implement advance_(back_)_by on more iterators
Add more efficient, non-default implementations for `feature(iter_advance_by)` (#77404) on more iterators and adapters.
This PR only contains implementations where skipping over items doesn't elide any observable side-effects such as user-provided closures or `clone()` functions. I'll put those in a separate PR.
Add truncate note to Vec::resize
A very minor addition to the `Vec::resize` documentation to point out the `truncate` method.
When I was searching for something matching `truncate` I managed to miss it, along with some colleagues. We later found it by chance. We did find `resize` however, so I was hoping to point it out in the documentation.
Optimize unnecessary check in Vec::retain
The function `vec::Vec::retain` only have two stages:
1. Nothing was deleted.
2. Some elements were deleted.
Here is an unnecessary check `if g.deleted_cnt > 0` in the loop, and it's difficult for compiler to optimize it. I split the loop into two stages manully and keep the code clean using const generics.
I write a special but common bench case for this optimization. I call retain on vec but keep all elements.
Before and after this optimization:
```
test vec::bench_retain_whole_100000 ... bench: 84,803 ns/iter (+/- 17,314)
```
```
test vec::bench_retain_whole_100000 ... bench: 42,638 ns/iter (+/- 16,910)
```
The result is expected, there are two `if`s before the optimization and one `if` after.
Fix spacing of links in inline code.
Similar to #80733, but the focus is different. This PR eliminates all occurrences of pieced-together inline code blocks like [`Box`]`<`[`Option`]`<T>>` and replaces them with good-looking ones (using HTML-syntax), like <code>[Box]<[Option]\<T>></code>. As far as I can tell, I should’ve found all of these in the standard library (regex search with `` r"`\]`|`\[`" ``) \[except for in `core::convert` where I’ve noticed other things in the docs that I want to fix in a separate PR]. In particular, unlike #80733, I’ve added almost no new instance of inline code that’s broken up into multiple links (or some link and some link-free part). I also added tooltips (the stuff in quotes for the markdown link listings) in places that caught my eye, but that’s by no means systematic, just opportunistic.
[Box]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html "Box"
[`Box`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html "Box"
[Option]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html "Option"
[`Option`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html "Option"
Context: I got annoyed by repeatedly running into new misformatted inline code while reading the standard library docs. I know that once issue #83997 (and/or related ones) are resolved, these changes become somewhat obsolete, but I fail to notice much progress on that end right now.

Replacing `…std/primitive.reference.html` paths with just `reference`
Co-authored-by: Joshua Nelson <github@jyn.dev>
----------
Also replace `…std/primitive.reference.html` paths with just `reference` in `core::pin`
The libs-api team agrees to allow const_trait_impl to appear in the
standard library as long as stable code cannot be broken (they are
properly gated) this means if the compiler teams thinks it's okay, then
it's okay.
My priority on constifying would be:
1. Non-generic impls (e.g. Default) or generic impls with no
bounds
2. Generic functions with bounds (that use const impls)
3. Generic impls with bounds
4. Impls for traits with associated types
For people opening constification PRs: please cc me and/or oli-obk.
Stabilize Vec<T>::shrink_to
This PR stabilizes `shrink_to` feature and closes the corresponding issue. The second point was addressed already, and no `panic!` should occur.
Closes#56431.
Recommend `swap_remove` in `Vec::remove` docs
I was able to increase the performance (by 20%!) of my project by changing a `Vec::remove` call to `Vec::swap_remove` in a hot function. I think we should explicitly put a note in the Vec::remove docs to guide people in the right direction so they don't make a similar oversight.
Track caller of Vec::remove()
`vec.remove(invalid)` doesn't print a helpful source position:
