Add "chr" as doc alias to char::from_u32
Many programming languages provide a function called `chr` - Perl, Python, PHP, Visual Basic, SQL. This change makes `char::from_u32` easier to discover in the documentation.
`ord` is not added as its name conflicts with `Ord` trait, and it's not exactly clear what it could point to (`<u32 as From<char>>::from`?). I don't think it's exactly necessary, as `char::from_u32` documentation page says you can do reverse conversion with `as` operator anyway.
Add "length" as doc alias to len methods
Currently when searching for `length` there are no results: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/?search=length. This makes `len` methods appear when searching for `length`.
Fix intra-doc links for non-path primitives
This does *not* currently work for associated items that are
auto-implemented by the compiler (e.g. `never::eq`), because they aren't
present in the source code. I plan to fix this in a follow-up PR.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63351 using the approach mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63351#issuecomment-683352130.
r? `@Manishearth`
cc `@petrochenkov` - this makes `rustc_resolve::Res` public, is that ok? I'd just add an identical type alias in rustdoc if not, which seems a waste.
Add `impl Div<NonZeroU{0}> for u{0}` which cannot panic
Dividing an unsigned int by a `NonZeroUxx` requires a user to write (for example, in [this SO question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64855738/how-to-inform-the-optimizer-that-nonzerou32get-will-never-return-zero)):
```
pub fn safe_div(x: u32, y: std::num::NonZeroU32) -> u32 {
x / y.get()
}
```
which generates a panicking-checked-div [assembly](https://godbolt.org/#g:!((g:!((g:!((h:codeEditor,i:(fontScale:14,j:1,lang:rust,selection:(endColumn:2,endLineNumber:6,positionColumn:2,positionLineNumber:6,selectionStartColumn:2,selectionStartLineNumber:6,startColumn:2,startLineNumber:6),source:%27pub+fn+div(x:+u32,+y:+u32)+-%3E+u32+%7B%0A++++x+/+y%0A%7D%0Apub+fn+safe_div(x:+u32,+y:+std::num::NonZeroU32)+-%3E+u32+%7B%0A++++x+/+y.get()+//+an+unchecked+division+expected%0A%7D%27),l:%275%27,n:%270%27,o:%27Rust+source+%231%27,t:%270%27)),k:50,l:%274%27,n:%270%27,o:%27%27,s:0,t:%270%27),(g:!((h:compiler,i:(compiler:r1470,filters:(b:%270%27,binary:%271%27,commentOnly:%270%27,demangle:%270%27,directives:%270%27,execute:%271%27,intel:%270%27,libraryCode:%271%27,trim:%271%27),fontScale:14,j:1,lang:rust,libs:!(),options:%27-O%27,selection:(endColumn:1,endLineNumber:1,positionColumn:1,positionLineNumber:1,selectionStartColumn:1,selectionStartLineNumber:1,startColumn:1,startLineNumber:1),source:1),l:%275%27,n:%270%27,o:%27rustc+1.47.0+(Editor+%231,+Compiler+%231)+Rust%27,t:%270%27)),k:50,l:%274%27,n:%270%27,o:%27%27,s:0,t:%270%27)),l:%272%27,n:%270%27,o:%27%27,t:%270%27)),version:4).
Avoiding the `panic` currently requires `unsafe` code.
This PR adds an `impl Div<NonZeroU{0}> for u{0}` (and `impl Rem<NonZeroU{0}> for u{0}`) which calls the `unchecked_div` (and `unchecked_rem`) intrinsic without any additional checks,
making the following code compile:
```
pub fn safe_div(x: u32, y: std::num::NonZeroU32) -> u32 {
x / y
}
pub fn safe_rem(x: u32, y: std::num::NonZeroU32) -> u32 {
x % y
}
```
The doc is set to match the regular div impl [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/src/core/ops/arith.rs.html#460).
I've marked these as stable because (as I understand it) trait impls are automatically stable. I'm happy to change it to unstable if needed.
Following `@dtolnay` template from a similar issue:
this adds the following **stable** impls, which rely on dividing unsigned integers by nonzero integers being well defined and previously would have involved unsafe code to encode that knowledge:
```
impl Div<NonZeroU8> for u8 {
type Output = u8;
}
impl Rem<NonZeroU8> for u8 {
type Output = u8;
}
```
and equivalent for u16, u32, u64, u128, usize, but **not** for i8, i16, i32, i64, i128, isize (since -1/MIN is undefined).

BTreeMap: clean up access to MaybeUninit arrays

Stabilize `core::slice::fill`
Tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70758
Stabilizes the `core::slice::fill` API in Rust 1.50, adding a `memset` doc alias so people coming from C/C++ looking for this operation can find it in the docs. This API hasn't seen any changes since we changed the signature in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71165/, and it seems like the right time to propose stabilization. Thanks!

BTreeMap: relax the explicit borrow rule to make code shorter and safer
Expressions like `.reborrow_mut().into_len_mut()` are annoyingly long, and kind of dangerous for the reason `reborrow_mut()` is unsafe. By relaxing the single rule, we no longer have to make an exception for functions with a `borrow` name and functions like `as_leaf_mut`. This is largely restoring the declaration style of the btree::node API about a year ago, but with more explanation and consistency.

Deprecate atomic compare_and_swap method
Finish implementing [RFC 1443](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1443-extended-compare-and-swap.md) (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1443).
It was decided to deprecate `compare_and_swap` [back in Rust 1.12 already](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/31767#issuecomment-215903038). I can't find any info about that decision being reverted. My understanding is just that it has been forgotten. If there has been a decision on keeping `compare_and_swap` then it's hard to find, and even if this PR does not go through it can act as a place where people can find out about the decision being reverted.
Atomic operations are hard to understand, very hard. And it does not help that there are multiple similar methods to do compare and swap with. They are so similar that for a reader it might be hard to understand the difference. This PR aims to make that simpler by finally deprecating `compare_and_swap` which is essentially just a more limited version of `compare_exchange`. The documentation is also updated (according to the RFC text) to explain the differences a bit better.
Even if we decide to not deprecate `compare_and_swap`. I still think the documentation for the atomic operations should be improved to better describe their differences and similarities. And the documentation can be written nicer than the PR currently proposes, but I wanted to start somewhere. Most of it is just copied from the RFC.
The documentation for `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak` indeed describe how they work! The problem is that they are more complex and harder to understand than `compare_and_swap`. So for someone who does not fully grasp this they might fall back to using `compare_and_swap`. Making the documentation outline the similarities and differences might build a bridge for people so they can cross over to the more powerful and sometimes more efficient operations.
The conversions I do to avoid the `std` internal deprecation errors are very straight forward `compare_and_swap -> compare_exchange` changes where the orderings are just using the mapping in the new documentation. Only in one place did I use `compare_exchange_weak`. This can probably be improved further. But the goal here was not for those operations to be perfect. Just to not get worse and to allow the deprecation to happen.
This caught several bugs where people expected `slice` to link to the
primitive, but it linked to the module instead.
This also uses `cfg_attr(bootstrap)` since the ambiguity only occurs
when compiling with stage 1.
Added [T; N]::zip()
This is my first PR to rust so I hope I have done everything right, or at least close :)
---
This is PR adds the array method `[T; N]::zip()` which, in my mind, is a natural extension to #75212.
My implementation of `zip()` is mostly just a modified copy-paste of `map()`. Should I keep the comments? Also am I right in assuming there should be no way for the `for`-loop to panic, thus no need for the dropguard seen in the `map()`-function?
The doc comment is in a similar way a slightly modified copy paste of [`Iterator::zip()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html#method.zip)
`@jplatte` mentioned in [#75490](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75490#issuecomment-677790758) `zip_with()`,
> zip and zip_with seem like they would be useful :)
is this something I should add (assuming there is interest for this PR at all :))
