Make std::future a re-export of core::future
After 1a764a7ef5, there are no `std::future`-specific items (except for `cfg(bootstrap)` items removed in 93eed402ad). So, instead of defining `std` own module, we can re-export the `core::future` directly.
Implement Error for &(impl Error)
Opening this up just to see what it breaks. It's unfortunate that `&(impl Error)` doesn't actually implement `Error`. If this direct approach doesn't work out then I'll try something different, like an `Error::by_ref` method.
**EDIT:** This is a super low-priority experiment so feel free to cancel it for more important crater runs! 🙂

# Stabilization Report
## Why?
We've been working for the last few years to try "fix" the `Error` trait, which is probably one of the most fundamental in the whole standard library. One of its issues is that we commonly expect you to work with abstract errors through `dyn Trait`, but references and smart pointers over `dyn Trait` don't actually implement the `Error` trait. If you have a `&dyn Error` or a `Box<dyn Error>` you simply can't pass it to a method that wants a `impl Error`.
## What does this do?
This stabilizes the following trait impl:
```rust
impl<'a, T: Error + ?Sized + 'static> Error for &'a T;
```
This means that `&dyn Error` will now satisfy a `impl Error` bound.
It doesn't do anything with `Box<dyn Error>` directly. We discussed how we could do `Box<dyn Error>` in the thread here (and elsewhere in the past), but it seems like we need something like lattice-based specialization or a sprinkling of snowflake compiler magic to make that work. Having said that, with this new impl you _can_ now get a `impl Error` from a `Box<dyn Error>` by dereferencing it.
## What breaks?
A crater run revealed a few crates broke with something like the following:
```rust
// where e: &'short &'long dyn Error
err.source()
```
previously we'd auto-deref that `&'short &'long dyn Error` to return a `Option<&'long dyn Error>` from `source`, but now will call directly on `&'short impl Error`, so will return a `Option<&'short dyn Error>`. The fix is to manually deref:
```rust
// where e: &'short &'long dyn Error
(*err).source()
```
In the recent Libs meeting we considered this acceptable breakage.
Remove delay-binding for Win XP and Vista
The minimum supported Windows version is now Windows 7. Windows XP
and Windows Vista are no longer supported; both are already broken, and
require extra steps to use.
This commit removes the delayed-binding support for Windows API
functions that are present on all supported Windows targets. This has
several benefits: Removes needless complexity. Removes a load and
dynamic call on hot paths in mutex acquire / release. This may have
performance benefits.

Target stack-probe support configurable finely
This adds capability to configure the target's stack probe support in a
more precise manner than just on/off. In particular now we allow
choosing between always inline-asm, always call or either one of those
depending on the LLVM version.
Note that this removes the ability to turn off the generation of the
stack-probe attribute. This is valid to replace it with inline-asm for all targets because
`probe-stack="inline-asm"` will not generate any machine code on targets
that do not currently support stack probes. This makes support for stack
probes on targets that don't have any right now automatic with LLVM
upgrades in the future.
(This is valid to do based on the fact that clang unconditionally sets
this attribute when `-fstack-clash-protection` is used, AFAICT)

Various ABI refactorings
This includes changes to the rust abi and various refactorings that will hopefully make it easier to use the abi handling infrastructure of rustc in cg_clif. There are several refactorings that I haven't done. I am opening this draft PR to check that I haven't broken any non x86_64 architectures.
r? `@ghost`
Due to macro expansion, its possible to end up with two distinct
`ExpnId`s that have the same `ExpnData` contents. This violates the
contract of `HashStable`, since two unequal `ExpnId`s will end up with
equal `Fingerprint`s.
This commit adds a `disambiguator` field to `ExpnData`, which is used to
force two otherwise-equivalent `ExpnData`s to be distinct.
Inline methods of Path and OsString
These methods are not generic, and therefore aren't candidates for cross-crate inlining without an `#[inline]` attribute.
Fix <unknown> queries and add more timing info to render_html
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81251.
## Fix `<unknown>` queries
This happened because `alloc_query_strings` was never called.
## Add more timing info to render_html
This still has some issues I'm not sure how to work out:
- `create_renderer` and `renderer_after_krate` aren't shown by default.
I want something like `verbose_generic_activity_with_arg`, but it doesn't exist.
I'm also not sure how to show activities that aren't on by default - I
tried `-Z self-profile -Z self-profile-args=all`, but it didn't show up.

More clear documentation for NonNull<T>
Rephrase and hopefully clarify the discussion of covariance in `NonNull<T>` documentation.
I'm very much not an expert so someone should definitely double check the correctness of what I'm saying. At the same time, the new language makes more sense to me, so hopefully it also is more logical to others whose knowledge of covariance basically begins and ends with the [Rustonomicon chapter](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/subtyping.html).
Related to #48929.
This avoids each tool having to separately find and call
`self_profile_alloc_strings`.
- Don't compute the global context if it hasn't yet been computed
This avoids giving extraneous errors about unresolved names if an error
occurs during parsing.
avoid promoting division, modulo and indexing operations that could fail
For division, `x / y` will still be promoted if `y` is a non-zero integer literal; however, `1/(1+1)` will not be promoted any more.
While at it, also see if we can reject promoting floating-point arithmetic (which are [complicated](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/237) so maybe we should not promote them).
This will need a crater run to see if there's code out there that relies on these things being promoted.
If we can land this, promoteds in `fn`/`const fn` cannot fail to evaluate any more, which should let us do some simplifications in codegen/Miri!
