Add Integer::log variants
_This is another attempt at landing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70835, which was approved by the libs team but failed on Android tests through Bors. The text copied here is from the original issue. The only change made so far is the addition of non-`checked_` variants of the log methods._
_Tracking issue: #70887_
---
This implements `{log,log2,log10}` methods for all integer types. The implementation was provided by `@substack` for use in the stdlib.
_Note: I'm not big on math, so this PR is a best effort written with limited knowledge. It's likely I'll be getting things wrong, but happy to learn and correct. Please bare with me._
## Motivation
Calculating the logarithm of a number is a generally useful operation. Currently the stdlib only provides implementations for floats, which means that if we want to calculate the logarithm for an integer we have to cast it to a float and then back to an int.
> would be nice if there was an integer log2 instead of having to either use the f32 version or leading_zeros() which i have to verify the results of every time to be sure
_— [`@substack,` 2020-03-08](https://twitter.com/substack/status/1236445105197727744)_
At higher numbers converting from an integer to a float we also risk overflows. This means that Rust currently only provides log operations for a limited set of integers.
The process of doing log operations by converting between floats and integers is also prone to rounding errors. In the following example we're trying to calculate `base10` for an integer. We might try and calculate the `base2` for the values, and attempt [a base swap](https://www.rapidtables.com/math/algebra/Logarithm.html#log-rules) to arrive at `base10`. However because we're performing intermediate rounding we arrive at the wrong result:
```rust
// log10(900) = ~2.95 = 2
dbg!(900f32.log10() as u64);
// log base change rule: logb(x) = logc(x) / logc(b)
// log2(900) / log2(10) = 9/3 = 3
dbg!((900f32.log2() as u64) / (10f32.log2() as u64));
```
_[playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=6bd6c68b3539e400f9ca4fdc6fc2eed0)_
This is somewhat nuanced as a lot of the time it'll work well, but in real world code this could lead to some hard to track bugs. By providing correct log implementations directly on integers we can help prevent errors around this.
## Implementation notes
I checked whether LLVM intrinsics existed before implementing this, and none exist yet. ~~Also I couldn't really find a better way to write the `ilog` function. One option would be to make it a private method on the number, but I didn't see any precedent for that. I also didn't know where to best place the tests, so I added them to the bottom of the file. Even though they might seem like quite a lot they take no time to execute.~~

core: add unstable no_fp_fmt_parse to disable float formatting code
In some projects (e.g. kernel), floating point is forbidden. They can disable
hardware floating point support and use `+soft-float` to avoid fp instructions
from being generated, but as libcore contains the formatting code for `f32`
and `f64`, some fp intrinsics are depended. One could define stubs for these
intrinsics that just panic [1], but it means that if any formatting functions
are accidentally used, mistake can only be caught during the runtime rather
than during compile-time or link-time, and they consume a lot of space without
LTO.
This patch provides an unstable cfg `no_fp_fmt_parse` to disable these.
A panicking stub is still provided for the `Debug` implementation (unfortunately)
because there are some SIMD types that use `#[derive(Debug)]`.

This was unsound since a panic in a.next_back() would result in the
length not being updated which would then lead to the same element
being revisited in the side-effect preserving code.
to_digit simplification (less jumps)
I just realised we might be able to make use of the fact that changing case in ascii is easy to help simplify to_digit some more.
It looks a bit cleaner and it looks like it's less jumps and there's less instructions in the generated assembly:

I removed the likely as it resulted in a few less instructions. (It's not been in there long - I added it in the last to_digit iteration).
Make copy/copy_nonoverlapping fn's again
Make copy/copy_nonoverlapping fn's again, rather than intrinsics.
This a short-term change to address issue #84297.
It effectively reverts PRs #81167#81238 (and part of #82967), #83091, and parts of #79684.
Update standard library for IntoIterator implementation of arrays
This PR partially resolves issue #84513 of updating the standard library part.
I haven't found any remaining doctest examples which are using iterators over e.g. &i32 instead of just i32 in the standard library. Can anyone point me to them if there's remaining any?
Thanks!

While stdlib implementations of the unchecked methods require unchecked
math, there is no reason to gate it behind this for external users. The
reasoning for a separate `step_trait_ext` feature is unclear, and as
such has been merged as well.
Implement indexing slices with pairs of core::ops::Bound<usize>
Closes#49976.
I am not sure about code duplication between `check_range` and `into_maybe_range`. Should be former implemented in terms of the latter? Also this PR doesn't address code duplication between `impl SliceIndex for Range*`.
Format `Struct { .. }` on one line even with `{:#?}`.
The result of `debug_struct("A").finish_non_exhaustive()` before this change:
```
A {
..
}
```
And after this change:
```
A { .. }
```
If there's any fields, the result stays unchanged:
```
A {
field: value,
..
}
Stabilize `peekable_peek_mut`
Resolves#78302. Also adds some documentation on `std::iter::Iterator::peekable()` regarding the new method.
The feature was added in #77491 in Nov' 20, which is recently, but the feature seems reasonably small. Never did a stabilization-pr, excuse my ignorance if there is a protocol I'm not aware of.
Stabilize cmp_min_max_by
I would like to propose cmp::{min_by, min_by_key, max_by, max_by_key}
for stabilization.
These are relatively simple and seemingly uncontroversial functions and
have been unchanged in unstable for a while now.

Add IEEE 754 compliant fmt/parse of -0, infinity, NaN
This pull request improves the Rust float formatting/parsing libraries to comply with IEEE 754's formatting expectations around certain special values, namely signed zero, the infinities, and NaN. It also adds IEEE 754 compliance tests that, while less stringent in certain places than many of the existing flt2dec/dec2flt capability tests, are intended to serve as the beginning of a roadmap to future compliance with the standard. Some relevant documentation is also adjusted with clarifying remarks.
This PR follows from discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1074, and closes#24623.
The most controversial change here is likely to be that -0 is now printed as -0. Allow me to explain: While there appears to be community support for an opt-in toggle of printing floats as if they exist in the naively expected domain of numbers, i.e. not the extended reals (where floats live), IEEE 754-2019 is clear that a float converted to a string should be capable of being transformed into the original floating point bit-pattern when it satisfies certain conditions (namely, when it is an actual numeric value i.e. not a NaN and the original and destination float width are the same). -0 is given special attention here as a value that should have its sign preserved. In addition, the vast majority of other programming languages not only output `-0` but output `-0.0` here.
While IEEE 754 offers a broad leeway in how to handle producing what it calls a "decimal character sequence", it is clear that the operations a language provides should be capable of round tripping, and it is confusing to advertise the f32 and f64 types as binary32 and binary64 yet have the most basic way of producing a string and then reading it back into a floating point number be non-conformant with the standard. Further, existing documentation suggested that e.g. -0 would be printed with -0 regardless of the presence of the `+` fmt character, but it prints "+0" instead if given such (which was what led to the opening of #24623).
There are other parsing and formatting issues for floating point numbers which prevent Rust from complying with the standard, as well as other well-documented challenges on the arithmetic level, but I hope that this can be the beginning of motion towards solving those challenges.
