Add `optimize_for_size` variants for stable and unstable sort as well as select_nth_unstable
- Stable sort uses a simple merge-sort that re-uses the existing - rather gnarly - merge function.
- Unstable sort jumps directly to the branchless heapsort fallback.
- select_nth_unstable jumps directly to the median_of_medians fallback, which is augmented with a custom tiny smallsort and partition impl.
Some code is duplicated but de-duplication would bring it's own problems. For example `swap_if_less` is critical for performance, if the sorting networks don't inline it perf drops drastically, however `#[inline(always)]` is also a poor fit, if the provided comparison function is huge, it gives the compiler an out to only instantiate `swap_if_less` once and call it. Another aspect that would suffer when making `swap_if_less` pub, is having to cfg out dozens of functions in in smallsort module.

Mark `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` in `[u8]` and `str` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
This PR extends #130697 and #130713 to the similar methods in byte slices (`[u8]`) and string slices (`str`).
For the `str` methods, this simply requires adding the `const` specifier to the function signatures. The `[u8]` methods, however, require (at least a temporary) reimplementation due to the use of iterators and `for` loops.
Mark `u8::make_ascii_uppercase` and `u8::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
This PR extends #130697 by also marking the `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `u8` as const.
The `const_char_make_ascii` feature gate is additionally renamed to `const_make_ascii`.
Support `char::encode_utf16` in const scenarios.
Relevant tracking issue: #130660
The method `char::encode_utf16` should be marked "const" to allow compile-time conversions.
This PR additionally rewrites the `encode_utf16_raw` function for better readability whilst also reducing the amount of unsafe code.

Add str.as_str() for easy Deref to string slices
Working with `Box<str>` is cumbersome, because in places like `iter.filter()` it can end up being `&Box<str>` or even `&&Box<str>`, and such type doesn't always get auto-dereferenced as expected.
Dereferencing such box to `&str` requires ugly syntax like `&**boxed_str` or `&***boxed_str`, with the exact amount of `*`s.
`Box<str>` is [not easily comparable with other string types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129852) via `PartialEq`. `Box<str>` won't work for lookups in types like `HashSet<String>`, because `Borrow<String>` won't take types like `&Box<str>`. OTOH `set.contains(s.as_str())` works nicely regardless of levels of indirection.
`String` has a simple solution for this: the `as_str()` method, and `Box<str>` should too.
Mark `char::make_ascii_uppercase` and `char::make_ascii_lowercase` as const.
Relevant tracking issue: #130698
The `make_ascii_uppercase` and `make_ascii_lowercase` methods in `char` should be marked "const."
With the stabilisation of [`const_mut_refs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57349/), this simply requires adding the `const` specifier to the function signatures.
Address diagnostics regression for `const_char_encode_utf8`.
Relevant tracking issue: #130512
This PR regains full diagnostics for non-const calls to `char::encode_utf8`.
[Clippy] Get rid of most `std` `match_def_path` usage, swap to diagnostic items.
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5393.
This was going to remove all `std` paths, but `SeekFrom` has issues being cleanly replaced with a diagnostic item as the paths are for variants, which currently cannot be diagnostic items.
This also, as a last step, categories the paths to help with future path removals.
Improve documentation for <integer>::from_str_radix
Two improvements to the documentation:
- Document `-` as a valid character for signed integer destinations
- Make the documentation even more clear that extra whitespace and non-digit characters is invalid. Many other languages, e.g. c++, are very permissive in string to integer routines and simply try to consume as much as they can, ignoring the rest. This is trying to make the transition for developers who are used to the conversion semantics in these languages a bit easier.
Pass `fmt::Arguments` by reference to `PanicInfo` and `PanicMessage`
Resolves#129330
For some reason after #115974 and #126732 optimizations applied to panic handler became worse and compiler stopped removing panic locations if they are not used in the panic message. This PR fixes that and maybe we can merge it into beta before rust 1.81 is released.
Note: optimization only works with `lto = "fat"`.

Take more advantage of the `isize::MAX` limit in `Layout`
Things like `padding_needed_for` are current implemented being super careful to handle things like `Layout::size` potentially being `usize::MAX`.
But now that #95295 has happened, that's no longer a concern. It's possible to add two `Layout::size`s together without risking overflow now.
So take advantage of that to remove a bunch of checked math that's not actually needed. For example, the round-up-and-add-next-size in `extend` doesn't need any overflow checks at all, just the final check for compatibility with the alignment.
(And while I was doing that I made it all unstably const, because there's nothing in `Layout` that's fundamentally runtime-only.)
