Use more intra-doc-links in `core::fmt`
This is a follow-up to #75819, which encountered some broken links due to #75176, so this PR contains the links that are blocked on #75176.

Hint the maximum length permitted by invariant of slices
One of the safety invariants of references, and in particular of references to slices, is that they may not cover more than `isize::MAX` bytes. The unsafe `from_raw_parts` constructors of slices explicitly requires the caller to guarantee this fact. Violating it would also be UB with regards to the semantics of generated llvm code.
This effectively bounds the length of a (non-ZST) slice from above by a compile time constant. But when the length is loaded from a function argument it appears llvm is not aware of this requirement. The additional value range assertions allow some further elision of code branches, including overflow checks, especially in the presence of artithmetic on the indices.
This may have a performance impact, adding more code to a common method but allowing more optimization. I'm not quite sure, is the Rust side of const-prop strong enough to elide the irrelevant match branches?
Fixes: #67186
Uses assume to check the length against a constant upper bound. The
inlined result then informs the optimizer of the sound value range.
This was tried with unreachable_unchecked before which introduces a
branch. This has the advantage of not being executed in sound code but
complicates basic blocks. It resulted in ~2% increased compile time in
some worst cases.
Add a codegen test for the assumption, testing the issue from #67186
Implement as_ne_bytes() for integers and floats
This is related to issue #64464.
I am pretty sure that these functions are actually const-ify-able, and technically as_bits() can also be implemented for floats, but I might need some comments on both.
Use less divisions in display u128/i128
This PR is an absolute mess, and I need to test if it improves the speed of fmt::Display for u128/i128, but I think it's correct.
It hopefully is more efficient by cutting u128 into at most 2 u64s, and also chunks by 1e16 instead of just 1e4.
Also I specialized the implementations for uints to always be non-false because it bothered me that it was checked at all
Do not merge until I benchmark it and also clean up the god awful mess of spaghetti.

Stabilize slice_ptr_range.

Refactor memchr to allow optimization
Closes#75659
The implementation already uses naive search if the slice if short enough, but the case is complicated enough to not be optimized away. This PR refactors memchr so that it exists early when the slice is short enough.
Codegen-wise, as shown in #75659, memchr was not inlined previously so the only way I could find to test this is to check if there is no memchr call. Let me know if there is a more robust solution here.
Add Iterator::advance_by and DoubleEndedIterator::advance_back_by
This PR adds the iterator method
```rust
fn advance_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> Result<(), usize>
```
that advances the iterator by `n` elements, returning `Ok(())` if this succeeds or `Err(len)` if the length of the iterator was less than `n`.
Currently `Iterator::nth` is the method to override for efficiently advancing an iterator by multiple elements at once. `advance_by` is superior for this purpose because
- it's simpler to implement: instead of advancing the iterator and producing the next element you only need to advance the iterator
- it composes better: iterators like `Chain` and `FlatMap` can implement `advance_by` in terms of `advance_by` on their inner iterators, but they cannot implement `nth` in terms of `nth` on their inner iterators (see #60395)
- the default implementation of `nth` can trivially be implemented in terms of `advance_by` and `next`, which this PR also does
This PR also adds `DoubleEndedIterator::advance_back_by` for all the same reasons.
I'll make a tracking issue if it's decided this is worth merging. Also let me know if anything can be improved, this went through several iterations so there might very well still be room for improvement (especially in the doc comments). I've written overrides of these methods for most iterators that already override `nth`/`nth_back`, but those still need tests so I'll add them in a later PR.

Split core/str/mod.rs to smaller files
Note for reviewer:
* I split to multiple commits for easier reviewing, but I could git squash them all to one if requested.
* Recommend pulling this change locally and using advanced git diff viewer or this command:
```bash
git show --reverse --color-moved=dimmed-zebra --color-moved-ws=ignore-all-space master..
```
---
I split `core/str/mod.rs` to these modules:
* `converts`: Contains helper functions to convert from bytes to str.
* `error`: For error structs like Utf8Error.
* `iter`: For iterators of many str methods.
* `traits`: For indexing operations and build in traits on str.
* `validations`: For functions validating utf8 --- This name is awkward, maybe utf8.rs is better.
Add zero padding
Add benchmarks for fmt u128
This tests both when there is the max amount of work(all characters used)
And least amount of work(1 character used)
Add doc alias for iterator fold
fold is known in python and javascript as reduce,
not sure about inject but it was written in doc there.
This was my first confusion when coming into rust, I somehow cannot find where is reduce, sometimes I still forget that it is known as `fold`.
Remove `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_ptr]` and add `#![feature(const_fn_fn_ptr_basics)]`
`rustc_allow_const_fn_ptr` was a hack to work around the lack of an escape hatch for the "min `const fn`" checks in const-stable functions. Now that we have co-opted `allow_internal_unstable` for this purpose, we no longer need a bespoke attribute.
Now this functionality is gated under `const_fn_fn_ptr_basics` (how concise!), and `#[allow_internal_unstable(const_fn_fn_ptr_basics)]` replaces `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_ptr]`. `const_fn_fn_ptr_basics` allows function pointer types to appear in the arguments and locals of a `const fn` as well as function pointer casts to be performed inside a `const fn`. Both of these were allowed in constants and statics already. Notably, this does **not** allow users to invoke function pointers in a const context. Presumably, we will use a nicer name for that (`const_fn_ptr`?).

Add `#![feature(const_fn_floating_point_arithmetic)]`
cc #76618
This is a template for splitting up `const_fn` into granular feature gates. I think this will make it easier, both for us and for users, to track stabilization of each individual feature. We don't *have* to do this, however. We could also keep stabilizing things out from under `const_fn`.
