Relax promises about condition variable.
For quite a while now, there have been plans to at some point use parking_lot or some other more efficient implementation of mutexes and condition variables. Right now, Mutex and CondVar both Box the 'real' mutex/condvar inside, to give it a stable address. This was done because implementations like pthread and Windows critical sections may not be moved. More efficient implementations based on futexes, WaitOnAddress, Windows SRW locks, parking_lot, etc. may be moved (while not borrowed), so wouldn't need boxing.
However, not boxing them (which would be great goal to achieve), breaks a promise std currently makes about CondVar. CondVar promises to panic when used with different mutexes, to ensure consistent behaviour on all platforms. To this check, a mutex is considered 'the same' if the address of the 'real mutex' in the Box is the same. This address doesn't change when moving a `std::mutex::Mutex` object, effectively giving it an identity that survives moves of the Mutex object. If we ever switch to a non-boxed version, they no longer carry such an identity, and this check can no longer be made.
Four options:
1. Always box mutexes.
2. Add a `MutexId` similar to `ThreadId`. Making mutexes bigger, and making it hard to ever have a `const fn new` for them.
3. Making the requirement of CondVar stricter: panic if the Mutex object itself moved.
4. Making the promise of CondVar weaker: don't promise to panic.
1, 2, and 3 seem like bad options. This PR updates the documentation for 4.
Make delegation methods of `std::net::IpAddr` unstably const
Make the following methods of `std::net::IpAddr` unstable const under the `const_ip` feature:
- `is_unspecified`
- `is_loopback`
- `is_global`
- `is_multicast`
Also adds a test for these methods in a const context.
Possible because these methods delegate to the inner `Ipv4Addr` or `Ipv6Addr`, which were made const ([PR#76205](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76142) and [PR#76206](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76206)), and the recent stabilization of const control flow.

Function to convert OpenOptions to c_int
Fixes: #74943
The creation_mode and access_mode function were already available in the OpenOptions struct, but currently private. I've added a new free functions to unix/fs.rs which takes the OpenOptions, and returns the c_int to be used as parameter for the `open` call.
Remove duplicated library links between std and libc
The libc crate is already responsible for linking in the appropriate
libraries, and std doing the same thing results in duplicated library
names on the linker command line. Removing this duplication slightly
reduces linker time, and makes it simpler to adjust the set or order of
linked libraries in one place (such as to add static linking support).
Add non-`unsafe` `.get_mut()` for `Unsafecell`
- Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76943
As discussed in: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-non-unsafe-get-mut-for-unsafecell/12407
- ### [Rendered documentation](https://modest-dubinsky-1f9f47.netlify.app/core/cell/struct.unsafecell)
This PR tries to move the sound `&mut UnsafeCell<T> -> &mut T` projection that all the "downstream" constructions were already relying on, up to the root abstraction, where it rightfully belongs, and officially blessing it.
- this **helps reduce the amount of `unsafe` snippets out there** (_c.f._, the second commit of this PR: 09503fd1b3)
The fact that this getter is now expose for `UnsafeCell<T>` itself, will also help convey the idea that **`UnsafeCell` is not magical _w.r.t._ `&mut` accesses**, contrary to what some people incorrectly think.
- Even the standard library itself at some point had such a confusion, _c.f._ this comment where there is a mention of multi-threaded (and thus _shared_) access despite dealing with exclusive references over unique ownership: 59fb88d061/library/core/src/cell.rs (L498-L499)

Remove unused feature gates from library/ crates
Removes some unused feature gates from library crates. It's likely not a complete list as I only tested a subset for which it's more likely that it is unused.
deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn) in libstd/path.rs
The libstd/path.rs part of #73904 . Wraps the two calls to an unsafe fn Initializer::nop() in an unsafe block.
Small cleanups in Windows Mutex.
- Move `held` into the boxed part, since the SRW lock implementation does not use this. This makes the Mutex 50% smaller.
- Use `Cell` instead of `UnsafeCell` for `held`, such that `.replace()` can be used.
- Add some comments.
- Avoid creating multiple `&mut`s to the critical section object in `ReentrantMutex`.
[fuchsia] Propagate the userspace UTC clock
On Fuchsia, spawning a subprocess does not automatically
clone all of the parent process' capabilities. UTC time on
Fuchsia is managed by a top-level userspace clock capability
that is cloned and passed to subprocesses.
This change ensures that any Rust subprocess gets access to the
UTC clock, if the parent had access to it. This is critical for
tests, which on Fuchsia, use panic=abort and spawn subprocesses
per test.
