Async drop codegen

Async drop implementation using templated coroutine for async drop glue generation.

Scopes changes to generate `async_drop_in_place()` awaits, when async droppable objects are out-of-scope in async context.

Implementation details:
https://github.com/azhogin/posts/blob/main/async-drop-impl.md

New fields in Drop terminator (drop & async_fut). Processing in codegen/miri must validate that those fields are empty (in full version async Drop terminator will be expanded at StateTransform pass or reverted to sync version). Changes in terminator visiting to consider possible new successor (drop field).

ResumedAfterDrop messages for panic when coroutine is resumed after it is started to be async drop'ed.

Lang item for generated coroutine for async function async_drop_in_place. `async fn async_drop_in_place<T>()::{{closure0}}`.

Scopes processing for generate async drop preparations. Async drop is a hidden Yield, so potentially async drops require the same dropline preparation as for Yield terminators.

Processing in StateTransform: async drops are expanded into yield-point. Generation of async drop of coroutine itself added.

Shims for AsyncDropGlueCtorShim, AsyncDropGlue and FutureDropPoll.

```rust
#[lang = "async_drop"]
pub trait AsyncDrop {
    #[allow(async_fn_in_trait)]
    async fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>);
}

impl Drop for Foo {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        println!("Foo::drop({})", self.my_resource_handle);
    }
}

impl AsyncDrop for Foo {
    async fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
        println!("Foo::async drop({})", self.my_resource_handle);
    }
}
```

First async drop glue implementation re-worked to use the same drop elaboration code as for sync drop.
`async_drop_in_place` changed to be `async fn`. So both `async_drop_in_place` ctor and produced coroutine have their lang items (`AsyncDropInPlace`/`AsyncDropInPlacePoll`) and shim instances (`AsyncDropGlueCtorShim`/`AsyncDropGlue`).
```
pub async unsafe fn async_drop_in_place<T: ?Sized>(_to_drop: *mut T) {
}
```
AsyncDropGlue shim generation uses `elaborate_drops::elaborate_drop` to produce drop ladder (in the similar way as for sync drop glue) and then `coroutine::StateTransform` to convert function into coroutine poll.

AsyncDropGlue coroutine's layout can't be calculated for generic T, it requires known final dropee type to be generated (in StateTransform). So, `templated coroutine` was introduced here (`templated_coroutine_layout(...)` etc).

Such approach overrides the first implementation using mixing language-level futures in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121801.

Implement a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference - take 2

*[t-lang nomination comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123239#issuecomment-2727551097)*

This PR aims at implementing a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference, it is based on #103735 with suggestion and improvements from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103735#issuecomment-1370420305.

The goal is to catch cases like this, where the user probably doesn't realise it just created a reference.

```rust
pub struct Test {
    data: [u8],
}

pub fn test_len(t: *const Test) -> usize {
    unsafe { (*t).data.len() }  // this calls <[T]>::len(&self)
}
```

Since #103735 already went 2 times through T-lang, where they T-lang ended-up asking for a more restricted version (which is what this PR does), I would prefer this PR to be reviewed first before re-nominating it for T-lang.

----

Compared to the PR it is as based on, this PR adds 3 restrictions on the outer most expression, which must either be:
   1. A deref followed by any non-deref place projection (that intermediate deref will typically be auto-inserted)
   2. A method call annotated with `#[rustc_no_implicit_refs]`.
   3. A deref followed by a `addr_of!` or `addr_of_mut!`. See bottom of post for details.

There are several points that are not 100% clear to me when implementing the modifications:
 - ~~"4. Any number of automatically inserted deref/derefmut calls." I as never able to trigger this. Am I missing something?~~ Fixed
 - Are "index" and "field" enough?

0134651fb8 Auto merge of #136316 - GrigorenkoPV:generic_atomic, r=Mark-Simulacrum
Create `Atomic<T>` type alias (rebase)

Rebase of #130543.

Additional changes:
- Switch from `allow` to `expect` for `private_bounds` on `AtomicPrimitive`
- Unhide `AtomicPrimitive::AtomicInner` from docs, because rustdoc shows the definition `pub type Atomic<T> = <T as AtomicPrimitive>::AtomicInner;` and generated links for it.
  - `NonZero` did not have this issue, because they kept the new alias private before the direction was changed.
- Use `Atomic<_>` in more places, including inside `Once`'s `Futex`. This is possible thanks to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/14125

The rest will either get moved back to #130543 or #130543 will be closed in favor of this instead.

Stabilise `std::ffi::c_str`

This finished FCP in #112134 but never actually got a stabilisation PR. Since the FCP in #120048 recently passed to add the `os_str` module, it would be nice to also merge this too, to ensure that both get added in the next version.

Note: The added stability attributes which *somehow* were able to be omitted before (rustc bug?) were added based on the fact that they were added in 302551388b, which ended up in 1.85.0.

Deprecate the unstable `concat_idents!`

`concat_idents` has been around unstably for a long time, but there is now a better (but still unstable) way to join identifiers using `${concat(...)}` syntax with `macro_metavar_expr_concat`. This resolves a lot of the problems with `concat_idents` and is on a better track toward stabilization, so there is no need to keep both versions around. `concat_idents!` still has a lot of use in the ecosystem so deprecate it before removing, as discussed in [1].

Make algebraic functions into `const fn` items.

Tracking issue: #136469

This PR makes the algebraic intrinsics and the unstable, algebraic functions of `f16`, `f32`, `f64`, and `f128` into `const fn` items:

```rust
impl f16 {
    pub const fn algebraic_add(self, rhs: f16) -> f16;
    pub const fn algebraic_sub(self, rhs: f16) -> f16;
    pub const fn algebraic_mul(self, rhs: f16) -> f16;
    pub const fn algebraic_div(self, rhs: f16) -> f16;
    pub const fn algebraic_rem(self, rhs: f16) -> f16;
}

impl f32 {
    pub const fn algebraic_add(self, rhs: f32) -> f32;
    pub const fn algebraic_sub(self, rhs: f32) -> f32;
    pub const fn algebraic_mul(self, rhs: f32) -> f32;
    pub const fn algebraic_div(self, rhs: f32) -> f32;
    pub const fn algebraic_rem(self, rhs: f32) -> f32;
}

impl f64 {
    pub const fn algebraic_add(self, rhs: f64) -> f64;
    pub const fn algebraic_sub(self, rhs: f64) -> f64;
    pub const fn algebraic_mul(self, rhs: f64) -> f64;
    pub const fn algebraic_div(self, rhs: f64) -> f64;
    pub const fn algebraic_rem(self, rhs: f64) -> f64;
}

impl f128 {
    pub const fn algebraic_add(self, rhs: f128) -> f128;
    pub const fn algebraic_sub(self, rhs: f128) -> f128;
    pub const fn algebraic_mul(self, rhs: f128) -> f128;
    pub const fn algebraic_div(self, rhs: f128) -> f128;
    pub const fn algebraic_rem(self, rhs: f128) -> f128;
}

// core::intrinsics

pub const fn fadd_algebraic<T: Copy>(a: T, b: T) -> T;
pub const fn fsub_algebraic<T: Copy>(a: T, b: T) -> T;
pub const fn fmul_algebraic<T: Copy>(a: T, b: T) -> T;
pub const fn fdiv_algebraic<T: Copy>(a: T, b: T) -> T;
pub const fn frem_algebraic<T: Copy>(a: T, b: T) -> T;
```

This PR does not preserve the initial behaviour of these functions yielding non-deterministic output under Miri; it is most likely desired to reimplement this behaviour at some point.

Suggest {to,from}_ne_bytes for transmutations between arrays and integers, etc

implements #136067

Rust has helper methods for many kinds of safe transmutes, for example integer<->bytes. This is a lint against using transmute for these cases.

```rs
fn bytes_at_home(x: [u8; 4]) -> u32 {
   transmute(x)
}

// other examples
transmute::<[u8; 2], u16>();
transmute::<[u8; 8], f64>();
transmute::<u32, [u8; 4]>();
transmute::<char, u32>();
transmute::<u32, char>();
```
It would be handy to suggest `u32::from_ne_bytes(x)`.
This is implemented for `[u8; _]` -> `{float int}`

This also implements the cases:
`fXX` <-> `uXX` = `{from_bits, to_bits}`
`uXX` -> `iXX` via `cast_unsigned` and `cast_signed`
{`char` -> `u32`, `bool` -> `n8`} via `from`
`u32` -> `char` via `from_u32_unchecked` (note: notes `from_u32().unwrap()`) (contested)
`u8` -> `bool` via `==` (debatable)

# Request for Stabilization

Two years later, we're ready to try this again. Even though this issue is already marked as having passed FCP, given the amount of time that has passed and the changes in implementation strategy, we should follow the process again.

## Summary

The `naked_functions` feature has two main parts: the `#[naked]` function attribute, and the `naked_asm!` macro.

An example of a naked function:

```rust
const THREE: usize = 3;

#[naked]
pub extern "sysv64" fn add_n(number: usize) -> usize {
    // SAFETY: the validity of the used registers
    // is guaranteed according to the "sysv64" ABI
    unsafe {
        core::arch::naked_asm!(
            "add rdi, {}",
            "mov rax, rdi",
            "ret",
            const THREE,
        )
    }
}
```

When the `#[naked]` attribute is applied to a function, the compiler won't emit a [function prologue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_prologue_and_epilogue) or epilogue when generating code for this function. This attribute is analogous to [`__attribute__((naked))`](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100067/0608/Compiler-specific-Function--Variable--and-Type-Attributes/--attribute----naked---function-attribute) in C. The use of this feature allows the programmer to have precise control over the assembly that is generated for a given function.

The body of a naked function must consist of a single `naked_asm!` invocation, a heavily restricted variant of the `asm!` macro: the only legal operands are `const` and `sym`, and the only legal options are `raw` and `att_syntax`. In lieu of specifying operands, the `naked_asm!` within a naked function relies on the function's calling convention to determine the validity of registers.

## Tests

* [tests/run-make/naked-symbol-visiblity](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/codegen/naked-fn) verifies that `pub`, `#[no_mangle]` and `#[linkage = "..."]` work correctly for naked functions
* [tests/codegen/naked-fn](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/codegen/naked-fn) has tests for function alignment, use of generics, and validates the exact assembly output on linux, macos, windows and thumb
* [tests/ui/asm/naked-*](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/ui/asm) tests for incompatible attributes, generating errors around incorrect use of `naked_asm!`, etc

## Interaction with other (unstable) features

### [fn_align](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82232)

Combining `#[naked]` with `#[repr(align(N))]` works well, and is tested e.g. here

- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/codegen/naked-fn/aligned.rs
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/codegen/naked-fn/min-function-alignment.rs

It's tested extensively because we do need to explicitly support the `repr(align)` attribute (and make sure we e.g. don't mistake powers of two for number of bytes).

## History

This feature was originally proposed in [RFC 1201](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1201), filed on 2015-07-10 and accepted on 2016-03-21. Support for this feature was added in [#32410](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32410), landing on 2016-03-23. Development languished for several years as it was realized that the semantics given in RFC 1201 were insufficiently specific. To address this, a minimal subset of naked functions was specified by [RFC 2972](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2972), filed on 2020-08-07 and accepted on 2021-11-16. Prior to the acceptance of RFC 2972, all of the stricter behavior specified by RFC 2972 was implemented as a series of warn-by-default lints that would trigger on existing uses of the `naked` attribute; these lints became hard errors in [#93153](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93153) on 2022-01-22. As a result, today RFC 2972 has completely superseded RFC 1201 in describing the semantics of the `naked` attribute.

More recently, the `naked_asm!` macro was added to replace the earlier use of a heavily restricted `asm!` invocation. The `naked_asm!` name is clearer in error messages, and provides a place for documenting the specific requirements of inline assembly in naked functions.

The implementation strategy was changed to emitting a global assembly block. In effect, an extern function

```rust
extern "C" fn foo() {
    core::arch::naked_asm!("ret")
}
```

is emitted as something similar to

```rust
core::arch::global_asm!(
    "foo:",
    "ret"
);

extern "C" {
    fn foo();
}
```

The codegen approach was chosen over the llvm naked function attribute because:

- the rust compiler can guarantee the behavior (no sneaky additional instructions, no inlining, etc.)
- behavior is the same on all backends (llvm, cranelift, gcc, etc)

Finally, there is now an allow list of compatible attributes on naked functions, so that e.g. `#[inline]` is rejected with an error. The `#[target_feature]` attribute on naked functions was later made separately unstable, because implementing it is complex and we did not want to block naked functions themselves on how target features work on them.

### Various historical notes

#### `noreturn`
[RFC 2972](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2972-constrained-naked.md) mentions that naked functions

> must have a body which contains only a single asm!() statement which:
> iii. must contain the noreturn option.

Instead of `asm!`, the current implementation mandates that the body contain a single `naked_asm!` statement. The `naked_asm!` macro is a heavily restricted version of the `asm!` macro, making it easier to talk about and document the rules of assembly in naked functions and give dedicated error messages.

For `naked_asm!`, the behavior of the `asm!`'s `noreturn` option is implicit. The `noreturn` option means that it is UB for control flow to fall through the end of the assembly block. With `asm!`, this option is usually used for blocks that diverge (and thus have no return and can be typed as `!`). With `naked_asm!`, the intent is different: usually naked funtions do return, but they must do so from within the assembly block. The `noreturn` option was used so that the compiler would not itself also insert a `ret` instruction at the very end.

#### padding / `ud2`

A `naked_asm!` block that violates the safety assumption that control flow must not fall through the end of the assembly block is UB. Because no return instruction is emitted, whatever bytes follow the naked function will be executed, resulting in truly undefined behavior. There has been discussion whether rustc should emit an invalid instruction (e.g. `ud2`  on x86) after the `naked_asm!` block to at least fail early in the case of an invalid `naked_asm!`. It was however decided that it is more useful to guarantee that `#[naked]` functions NEVER contain any instructions besides those in the `naked_asm!` block.
