Remove many unnecessary manual link resolves from library
Now that #76934 has merged, we can remove a lot of these! E.g, this is
no longer necessary:

The return of the GroupBy and GroupByMut iterators on slice
According to https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477#issuecomment-742034372, I am opening this PR again, this time I implemented it in safe Rust only, it is therefore much easier to read and is completely safe.
This PR proposes to add two new methods to the slice, the `group_by` and `group_by_mut`. These two methods provide a way to iterate over non-overlapping sub-slices of a base slice that are separated by the predicate given by the user (e.g. `Partial::eq`, `|a, b| a.abs() < b.abs()`).
```rust
let slice = &[1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2];
let mut iter = slice.group_by(|a, b| a == b);
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[1, 1, 1][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[3, 3][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[2, 2, 2][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
```
[An RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477) was open 2 years ago but wasn't necessary.
Remove all doc_comment!{} hacks by using #[doc = expr] where needed.
This replaces about 200 cases of
`````rust
doc_comment! {
concat!("The smallest value that can be represented by this integer type.
# Examples
Basic usage:
```
", $Feature, "assert_eq!(", stringify!($SelfT), "::MIN, ", stringify!($Min), ");",
$EndFeature, "
```"),
#[stable(feature = "assoc_int_consts", since = "1.43.0")]
pub const MIN: Self = !0 ^ ((!0 as $UnsignedT) >> 1) as Self;
}
`````
by
```rust
/// The smallest value that can be represented by this integer type.

Do not create dangling &T in Weak<T>::drop
Since at this point all strong pointers have been dropped, the wrapped `T` has also been dropped. As such, creating a `&T` to the dropped place is negligent at best (language UB at worst). Since we have `Layout::for_value_raw` now, use that instead of `Layout::for_value` to avoid creating the `&T`.
This does have implications for custom (potentially thin) DSTs, though much less severe than those discussed in #80407. Specifically, one of two things has to be true:
- It has to be possible to use a `*const T` to a dropped (potentially custom, potentially thin) unsized tailed object to determine the layout (size/align) of the object. This is what is currently implemented (though with `&T` instead of `&T`). The validity of reading some location after it has been dropped is an open question IIUC (https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/188) (except when the whole type is `Copy`, per `drop_in_place`'s docs).
In this design, custom DSTs would get a `*mut T` and use that to return layout, and must be able to do so while in the "zombie" (post-drop, pre-free) state.
- `RcBox`/`ArcInner` compute and store layout eagerly, so that they don't have to ask the type for its layout after dropping it.
Importantly, this is already true today, as you can construct `Rc<DST>`, create a `Weak<DST>`, and drop the `Rc` before the `Weak`. This PR is a strict improvement over the status quo, and the above question about potentially thin DSTs will need to be resolved by any custom DST proposal.
refactor: removing library/alloc/src/vec/mod.rs ignore-tidy-filelength
This PR removes the need for ignore-tidy-filelength for library/alloc/src/vec/mod.rs which is part of the issue #60302
It is probably easiest to review this PR by looking at it commit by commit rather than looking at the overall diff.

slightly more typed interface to panic implementation
The panic payload is currently being passed around as a `usize`. However, it actually is a pointer, and the involved types are available on all ends of this API, so I propose we use the proper pointer type to avoid some casts. Avoiding int-to-ptr casts also makes this code work with `miri -Zmiri-track-raw-pointers`.
