Rollup merge of #28753 - steveklabnik:gh28572, r=alexcrichton

This is part of #28572, but doesn't complete it. Amongst other things,
this patch:

* Increases consistency in the way feature flags are used with other
  docs.
* Removes the ignores, which is nice: we actually had some syntax errors
  in the examples 😭.
* Mentions #![no_core]

Realistically, this document used to be in the order of least to most:
nothing, then adding core. But with the changes in RFC 1184, this is
backwards: it now shows stuff that uses core from the beginning. In the
future, I'd like to revamp this to go from 'most to least', but I'd like
to see the discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27701
goes before I write more.

The core library has very few dependencies and is much more portable than the
standard library itself. Additionally, the core library has most of the

necessary functionality for writing idiomatic and effective Rust code. When
using `#![no_std]`, Rust will automatically inject the `core` crate, just like
we do for `std` when were using it.
As an example, here is a program that will calculate the dot product of two
