The return of the GroupBy and GroupByMut iterators on slice
According to https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477#issuecomment-742034372, I am opening this PR again, this time I implemented it in safe Rust only, it is therefore much easier to read and is completely safe.
This PR proposes to add two new methods to the slice, the `group_by` and `group_by_mut`. These two methods provide a way to iterate over non-overlapping sub-slices of a base slice that are separated by the predicate given by the user (e.g. `Partial::eq`, `|a, b| a.abs() < b.abs()`).
```rust
let slice = &[1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2];
let mut iter = slice.group_by(|a, b| a == b);
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[1, 1, 1][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[3, 3][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[2, 2, 2][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
```
[An RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477) was open 2 years ago but wasn't necessary.
Move Vec UI tests to unit tests when possible
Helps with #76268.
I'm moving the tests using `Vec` or `VecDeque`.
````@rustbot```` modify labels: A-testsuite C-cleanup T-libs
Add PartialEq impls for Vec <-> slice
This is a follow-up to #71660 and rust-lang/rfcs#2917 to add two more missing vec/slice PartialEq impls:
```
impl<A, B> PartialEq<[B]> for Vec<A> where A: PartialEq<B> { .. }
impl<A, B> PartialEq<Vec<B>> for [A] where A: PartialEq<B> { .. }
```
Since this is insta-stable, it should go through the `@rust-lang/libs` FCP process. Note that I used version 1.47.0 for the `stable` attribute because I assume this will not merge before the 1.46.0 branch is cut next week.
UI to unit test for those using Cell/RefCell/UnsafeCell
Helps with #76268.
I'm working on all files using `Cell` and moving them to unit tests when possible.

Fix liballoc test suite for Miri
Mostly, fix the regression introduced by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75207 that caused slices (i.e., references) to be created to invalid memory or memory that has aliasing pointers that we want to keep valid. @dylni this changes the type of `check_range` to only require the length, not the full reference to the slice, which indeed is all the information this function requires.
Also reduce the size of a test introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70793 to make it not take 3 minutes in Miri.
This makes https://github.com/RalfJung/miri-test-libstd work again.

Optimize behavior of vec.split_off(0) (take all)
Optimization improvement to `split_off()` so the performance meets the
intuitively expected behavior when `at == 0`, avoiding the current behavior
of copying the entire vector.
The change honors documented behavior that the original vector's
"previous capacity unchanged".
This improvement better supports the pattern for building and flushing a
buffer of elements, such as the following:
```rust
let mut vec = Vec::new();
loop {
vec.push(something);
if condition_is_met {
process(vec.split_off(0));
}
}
```
`Option` wrapping is the first alternative I thought of, but is much
less obvious and more verbose:
```rust
let mut capacity = 1;
let mut vec: Option<Vec<Stuff>> = None;
loop {
vec.get_or_insert_with(|| Vec::with_capacity(capacity)).push(something);
if condition_is_met {
capacity = vec.capacity();
process(vec.take().unwrap());
}
}
```
Directly using `mem::replace()` (instead of calling`split_off()`) could work,
but `mem::replace()` is a more advanced tool for Rust developers, and in
this case, I believe developers would assume the standard library should
be sufficient for the purpose described here.
The benefit of the approach to this change is it does not change the
existing API contract, but improves the peformance of `split_off(0)` for
`Vec`, `String` (which delegates `split_off()` to `Vec`), and any other
existing use cases.
This change adds tests to validate the behavior of `split_off()` with
regard to capacity, as originally documented, and confirm that behavior
still holds, when `at == 0`.
The change is an implementation detail, and does not require a
documentation change, but documenting the new behavior as part of its
API contract may benefit future users.
(Let me know if I should make that documentation update.)
Note, for future consideration:
I think it would be helpful to introduce an additional method to `Vec`
(if not also to `String`):
```
pub fn take_all(&mut self) -> Self {
self.split_off(0)
}
```
This would make it more clear how `Vec` supports the pattern, and make
it easier to find, since the behavior is similar to other `take()`
methods in the Rust standard library.

Directly applying `mem::replace()` could work, but `mem::` functions are
typically a last resort, when a developer is actively seeking better
performance than the standard library provides, for example.
