enable align_to tests in Miri
With https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/1074 resolved, we can enable these tests in Miri.
I also tweaked the test sized to get reasonable execution times with decent test coverage.
Use min_specialization in libcore
Getting `TrustedRandomAccess` to work is the main interesting thing here.
- `get_unchecked` is now an unstable, hidden method on `Iterator`
- The contract for `TrustedRandomAccess` is made clearer in documentation
- Fixed a bug where `Debug` would create aliasing references when using the specialized zip impl
- Added tests for the side effects of `next_back` and `nth`.

Improve codegen for `align_offset`
In this PR the `align_offset` implementation is changed/improved to produce better code in certain scenarios such as when pointer type is has a stride of 1 or when building for low optimisation levels.
While these changes do not achieve the "ideal" codegen referenced in #75579, it gets significantly closer to it. I’m not actually sure if the codegen can actually be much better with this function returning the offset, rather than the aligned pointer.
See the descriptions for separate commits for further information.
docs(marker/copy): provide example for `&T` being `Copy`
### Edited 2020-08-16 (most recent)
In the current documentation about the `Copy` marker trait, there is a section
with examples of structs that can implement `Copy`. Currently there is no example for
showing that shared references (`&T`) are also `Copy`.
It is worth to have a dedicated example for `&T` being `Copy`, because shared
references are an integral part of the language and it being `Copy` is not as
intuitive as other types that share this behaviour like `i32` or `bool`.
The example picks up on the previous non-`Copy` struct and shows that
structs can be `Copy`, even when they hold a shared reference to a non-`Copy` type.
-----------------------------------------
### Edited 2020-08-02, 3:28 p.m.
I've just realized that it says "in addition to the **implementors listed below**", which makes this PR kind of "wrong", because `&T` is indeed in the "implementors listed below".
Maybe we can instead show an example with `&T` in the [When can my type be Copy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Copy.html#when-can-my-type-be-copy) section.
What I really want to achieve is that it becomes more obvious that `&T` is also `Copy`, because, I think, it is very valuable to know and it wasn't obvious for me, until I read something about it in a forum post.
What do you think? I would create another PR for that.
**Please feel free to close this PR.**
-----------------------------------
### Original post
In the current documentation about the `Copy` marker trait, there is a section
about "additional implementors", which list additional implementors of the `Copy` trait.
The fact that shared references are also `Copy` is mixed with another point,
which makes it hard to recognize and make it seem not as important.
This clarifies the fact that shared references are also `Copy`, by mentioning it as a
separate item in the list of "additional implementors".

Since it's easy to end up at one of these functions when you really wanted the other one, cross link them with descriptions of why you'd want to use them.
Add `as_uninit`-like methods to pointer types and unify documentation of `as_ref` methods
This adds a convenient method to retrieve a `&(mut) [MaybeUninit<T>]` from slice pointers (`*const [T]`, `*mut [T]`, `NonNull<[T]>`). See also https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/66#issuecomment-671789105.

Reference lang items during AST lowering
Fixes#60607 and fixes#61019.
This PR introduces `QPath::LangItem` to the HIR and uses it in AST lowering instead of constructing a `hir::Path` from a slice of symbols:
- Credit for much of this work goes to @matthewjasper, I basically just [rebased their earlier work](a227c706b7 (diff-c0f791ead38d2d02916faaad0f56f41d)).
- ~~Changes to Clippy might not be correct, they compile but attempting to run tests through `./x.py` produced failures which appeared spurious, so I didn't run any clippy tests.~~
- Changes to save analysis might not be correct - tests pass but I don't have a lot of confidence in those changes being correct.
- I've used `GenericBounds::LangItemTrait` rather than changing `PolyTraitRef`, as suggested by @matthewjasper [in this comment](a227c706b7 (r40107992)) but I'd prefer that be left for a follow-up.
- I've split things into smaller commits fairly arbitrarily to make the diff easier to review, each commit should compile but might not pass tests until the final commit.

pin docs: add some forward references
@nagisa had some questions about pinning that were answered in the docs, which they did not realize because that discussion is below the examples. I still think it makes sense to introduce the examples before that discussion, since it give the discussion something concrete to refer to, but this PR adds some forward references so people don't think the examples conclude the docs.
@nagisa do you think this would have helped?
Code blocks in doc comments are compiled and run, so we show `Copy` works in this example.

Previously checking for `pmoda == 0` would get LLVM to generate branchy
code, when, for `stride = 1` the offset can be computed without such a
branch by doing effectively a `-p % a`.
For well-known (constant) alignments, with the new ordering of these
conditionals, we end up generating 2 to 3 cheap instructions on x86_64:
movq %rdi, %rax
negl %eax
andl $7, %eax
instead of 5+ as previously.
For unknown alignments the new code also generates just 3 instructions:
negq %rdi
leaq -1(%rsi), %rax
andq %rdi, %rax
At opt-level <= 1, the methods such as `wrapping_mul` are not being
inlined, causing significant bloating and slowdowns of the
implementation at these optimisation levels.
With use of these intrinsics, the codegen of this function at
-Copt_level=1 is the same as it is at -Copt_level=3.

This commit adds new lang items which will be used in AST lowering once
`QPath::LangItem` is introduced.

Doc: String isn't a collection
On forums one user was confused by this text, interpreting it as saying that `String` is a `Vec<char>` literally, rather than figuratively for the purpose of collect. I've reworded that paragraph.
Switch to intra-doc links in `core::option`
Part of #75080.
I didn't change some of the links since they link into `std` and you can't link from `core` to `std` (#74481).
Also, at least one other link can't be switched to an intra-doc link because it's not supported yet (#74489).
