libstd miri tests: avoid warnings
Ignore tests in a way that all the code still gets compiled, to get rid of all the "unused" warnings that otherwise show up when running the test suite in Miri.
Improve `ptr_rotate` performance, tests, and benches
The corresponding issue is #61784. I am not actually sure if miri can handle the test, but I can change the commit if necessary.

Implement nth_back for slice::{Iter, IterMut}
Part of #54054.
I implemented `nth_back` as straightforwardly as I could, and then slightly changed `nth` to match `nth_back`. I believe I did so correctly, but please double-check 🙂
I also added the helper methods `zst_shrink`, `next_unchecked`, and `next_back_unchecked` to get rid of some duplicated code. These changes hopefully make this code easier to understand for new contributors like me.
I noticed the `is_empty!` and `len!` macros which sole purpose seems to be inlining, according to the comment right above them, but the `is_empty` and `len` methods are already marked with `#[inline(always)]`. Does that mean we could replace these macros with method calls, without affecting anything? I'd love to get rid of them.
Implement specialized nth_back() for Box and Windows.
Hi there, this is my first pull request to rust :-)
I started implementing some specializations for DoubleEndedIterator::nth_back() and these are the first two. The problem has been discussed in #54054 and nth_back() is tracked in #56995.
I'm stuck with the next implementation so I though I do a PR for the ones I'm confident with to get some feedback.
Add some more notes to the documentation:
- Mention that the median can be found if we used `len() / 2`.
- Mention that this function is usually called "kth element" in other libraries.
Address some comments in PR:
- Change wording on some of the documentation
- Change recursive function into a loop
Update name to `partition_at_index` and add convenience return values.
Address reviewer comments:
- Don't swap on each iteration when searching for min/max element.
- Add some docs about when we panic.
- Test that the sum of the lengths of the output matches the length of the input.
- Style fix for for-loop.

Ever since we added a Cargo-based build system for the compiler the
standard library has always been a little special, it's never been able
to depend on crates.io crates for runtime dependencies. This has been a
result of various limitations, namely that Cargo doesn't understand that
crates from crates.io depend on libcore, so Cargo tries to build crates
before libcore is finished.
I had an idea this afternoon, however, which lifts the strategy
from #52919 to directly depend on crates.io crates from the standard
library. After all is said and done this removes a whopping three
submodules that we need to manage!
The basic idea here is that for any crate `std` depends on it adds an
*optional* dependency on an empty crate on crates.io, in this case named
`rustc-std-workspace-core`. This crate is overridden via `[patch]` in
this repository to point to a local crate we write, and *that* has a
`path` dependency on libcore.
Note that all `no_std` crates also depend on `compiler_builtins`, but if
we're not using submodules we can publish `compiler_builtins` to
crates.io and all crates can depend on it anyway! The basic strategy
then looks like:
* The standard library (or some transitive dep) decides to depend on a
crate `foo`.
* The standard library adds
```toml
[dependencies]
foo = { version = "0.1", features = ['rustc-dep-of-std'] }
```
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `rustc-std-workspace-core`
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `compiler_builtins`
* The crate `foo` has a feature `rustc-dep-of-std` which activates these
crates and any other necessary infrastructure in the crate.
A sample commit for `dlmalloc` [turns out to be quite simple][commit].
After that all `no_std` crates should largely build "as is" and still be
publishable on crates.io! Notably they should be able to continue to use
stable Rust if necessary, since the `rename-dependency` feature of Cargo
is soon stabilizing.
As a proof of concept, this commit removes the `dlmalloc`,
`libcompiler_builtins`, and `libc` submodules from this repository. Long
thorns in our side these are now gone for good and we can directly
depend on crates.io! It's hoped that in the long term we can bring in
other crates as necessary, but for now this is largely intended to
simply make it easier to manage these crates and remove submodules.
This should be a transparent non-breaking change for all users, but one
possible stickler is that this almost for sure breaks out-of-tree
`std`-building tools like `xargo` and `cargo-xbuild`. I think it should
be relatively easy to get them working, however, as all that's needed is
an entry in the `[patch]` section used to build the standard library.
Hopefully we can work with these tools to solve this problem!
