The acronym is not descriptive unless one has seen it before.
* Rename the `oom` function to `handle_alloc_error`. It was **stabilized in 1.28**, so if we do this at all we need to land it this cycle.
* Rename `set_oom_hook` to `set_alloc_error_hook`
* Rename `take_oom_hook` to `take_alloc_error_hook`
Bikeshed: `alloc` v.s. `allocator`, `error` v.s. `failure`
As discussed in

and subsequent, there are use-cases where the OOM handler needs to know
the size of the allocation that failed. The alignment might also be a
cause for allocation failure, so providing it as well can be useful.
OOM can't unwind today, and historically it's been optimized as if it can't
unwind. This accidentally regressed with recent changes to the OOM handler, so
this commit adds in a codegen test to assert that everything gets optimized away
after the OOM function is approrpiately classified as nounwind
Closes#50925
Switch to bootstrapping from 1.27
It's possible the Float trait could be removed from core, but I couldn't tell whether it was intended to be removed or not. @SimonSapin may be able to comment more here; we can presumably also do that in a follow up PR as this one is already quite large.
Partial future-proofing for Box<T, A>
In some ways, this is similar to @eddyb's PR #47043 that went stale, but doesn't cover everything. Notably, this still leaves Box internalized as a pointer in places, so practically speaking, only ZSTs can be practically added to the Box type with the changes here (the compiler ICEs otherwise).
The Box type is not changed here, that's left for the future because I want to test that further first, but this puts things in place in a way that hopefully will make things easier.
As of now, Box only contains a Unique pointer, so this is the sole
argument to box_free. Consequently, we remove the code supporting
the previous box_free signature. We however keep the old definition
for bootstrapping purpose.
