For certain sorts of systems, programming, it's deemed essential that
all allocation failures be explicitly handled where they occur. For
example, see Linus Torvald's opinion in [1]. Merely not calling global
panic handlers, or always `try_reserving` first (for vectors), is not
deemed good enough, because the mere presence of the global OOM handlers
is burdens static analysis.
One option for these projects to use rust would just be to skip `alloc`,
rolling their own allocation abstractions. But this would, in my
opinion be a real shame. `alloc` has a few `try_*` methods already, and
we could easily have more. Features like custom allocator support also
demonstrate and existing to support diverse use-cases with the same
abstractions.
A natural way to add such a feature flag would a Cargo feature, but
there are currently uncertainties around how std library crate's Cargo
features may or not be stable, so to avoid any risk of stabilizing by
mistake we are going with a more low-level "raw cfg" token, which
cannot be interacted with via Cargo alone.
Note also that since there is no notion of "default cfg tokens" outside
of Cargo features, we have to invert the condition from
`global_oom_handling` to to `not(no_global_oom_handling)`. This breaks
the monotonicity that would be important for a Cargo feature (i.e.
turning on more features should never break compatibility), but it
doesn't matter for raw cfg tokens which are not intended to be
"constraint solved" by Cargo or anything else.
To support this use-case we create a new feature, "global-oom-handling",
on by default, and put the global OOM handler infra and everything else
it that depends on it behind it. By default, nothing is changed, but
users concerned about global handling can make sure it is disabled, and
be confident that all OOM handling is local and explicit.
For this first iteration, non-flat collections are outright disabled.
`Vec` and `String` don't yet have `try_*` allocation methods, but are
kept anyways since they can be oom-safely created "from parts", and we
hope to add those `try_` methods in the future.

Clarify documentation for `[T]::contains`
Change the documentation to correctly characterize when the suggested alternative to `contains` applies, and correctly explain why it works.
Fixes#84877
Add doc alias for `chdir` to `std::env::set_current_dir`
Searching for `chdir` in the Rust documentation produces no useful
results.
I wrote some code recently that called `libc::chdir` and manually
handled errors, because I didn't realize that the safe
`std::env::set_current_dir` existed. I searched for `chdir` and
`change_dir` and `change_directory` (the latter two based on the
precedent of unabbreviating set by `create_dir`), and I also read
through `std::fs` expecting to potentially find it there. Given that
none of those led to `std::env::set_current_dir`, I think that provides
sufficient justification to add this specific alias.
Update `ptr` docs with regards to `ptr::addr_of!`
This updates the documentation since `ptr::addr_of!` and `ptr::addr_of_mut!` are now stable. One might remove the distinction between the sections `# On packed structs` and `# Examples`, as the old section on packed structs was primarily to prevent users of doing undefined behavior, which is not necessary anymore.
Technically there is now wrong/outdated documentation on stable, but I don't think this is worth a point release 😉Fixes#83509.

Move all `sys::ext` modules to `os`
This PR moves all `sys::ext` modules to `os`, centralizing the location of all `os` code and simplifying the dependencies between `os` and `sys`.
Because this also removes all uses `cfg_if!` on publicly exported items, where after #81969 there were still a few left, this should properly work around https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/6038.

Replace 'NULL' with 'null'
This replaces occurrences of "NULL" with "null" in docs, comments, and compiler error/lint messages. This is for the sake of consistency, as the lowercase "null" is already the dominant form in Rust. The all-caps NULL looks like the C macro (or SQL keyword), which seems out of place in a Rust context, given that NULL does not exist in the Rust language or standard library (instead having [`ptr::null()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ptr/fn.null.html)).

[Arm64] use isb instruction instead of yield in spin loops
On arm64 we have seen on several databases that ISB (instruction synchronization
barrier) is better to use than yield in a spin loop. The yield instruction is a
nop. The isb instruction puts the processor to sleep for some short time. isb
is a good equivalent to the pause instruction on x86.
Below is an experiment that shows the effects of yield and isb on Arm64 and the
time of a pause instruction on x86 Intel processors. The micro-benchmarks use

Add std::os::unix::fs::chroot to change the root directory of the current process
This is a straightforward wrapper that uses the existing helpers for C
string handling and errno handling.
Having this available is convenient for UNIX utility programs written in
Rust, and avoids having to call the unsafe `libc::chroot` directly and
handle errors manually, in a program that may otherwise be entirely safe
code.
Reuse `sys::unix::cmath` on other platforms
Reuse `sys::unix::cmath` on all non-`windows` platforms.
`unix` is chosen as the canonical location instead of `unsupported` or `common` because `unsupported` doesn't make sense semantically and `common` is reserved for code that is supported on all platforms. Also `unix` is already the home of some non-`windows` code that is technically not exclusive to `unix` like `unix::path`.

Drop alias `reduce` for `fold` - we have a `reduce` function
Searching for "reduce" currently puts the `reduce` alias for `fold`
above the actual `reduce` function. The `reduce` function already has a
cross-reference for `fold`, and vice versa.
Link between std::env::{var, var_os} and std::env::{vars, vars_os}
In #84551 I linked between `std::env::{args, args_os}` and this PR does the same but for `std::env::{var, var_os}` and `std::env::{vars, vars_os}`. Now all of `std::env::{var, var_os, vars, vars_os, args, args_os}` should each mention their `_os` or non-`_os` equivalent in the docs so that you can easily navigate between them.
Minor grammar tweaks for readability to btree internals
I was reading through the btree implementation and I noticed some grammar that could be improved in Node.rs so here is what I think would be a minor improvement.
Point out that behavior might be switched on 2015 and 2018 too one day
Reword documentation to make it clear that behaviour can be switched on older editions too, one day in the future. It doesn't *have* to be switched, but I think it's good to have it as an option and re-evaluate it a few months/years down the line when e.g. the crates that showed up in crater were broken by different changes in the language already.

use correct feature flag for impl-block-level trait bounds on const fn
