Add section on common message styles for Result::expect
Based on a question from https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling/issues/50#issuecomment-1092339937
~~One thing I haven't decided on yet, should I duplicate this section on `Option::expect`, link to this section, or move it somewhere else and link to that location from both docs?~~: I ended up moving the section to `std::error` and referencing it from both `Result::expect` and `Option::expect`'s docs.
I think this section, when combined with the similar update I made on [`std::panic!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/macro.panic.html#when-to-use-panic-vs-result) implies that we should possibly more aggressively encourage and support the "expect as precondition" style described in this section. The consensus among the libs team seems to be that panic should be used for bugs, not expected potential failure modes. The "expect as error message" style seems to align better with the panic for unrecoverable errors style where they're seen as normal errors where the only difference is a desire to kill the current execution unit (aka erlang style error handling). I'm wondering if we should be providing a panic hook similar to `human-panic` or more strongly recommending the "expect as precondition" style of expect message.
explain how to turn integers into fn ptrs
(with an intermediate raw ptr, not a direct transmute)
Direct int2ptr transmute, under the semantics I am imagining, will produce a ptr with "invalid" provenance that is invalid to deref or call. We cannot give it the same semantics as int2ptr casts since those do [something complicated](https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2022/04/11/provenance-exposed.html).
To my great surprise, that is already what the example in the `transmute` docs does. :) I still added a comment to say that that part is important, and I added a section explicitly talking about this to the `fn()` type docs.
With https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/2151, Miri will start complaining about direct int-to-fnptr transmutes (in the sense that it is UB to call the resulting pointer).
Document rounding for floating-point primitive operations and string parsing
The docs for floating point don't have much to say at present about either the precision of their results or rounding behaviour.
As I understand it[^1][^2], Rust doesn't support operating with non-default rounding directions, so we need only describe roundTiesToEven.

This PR makes a start by documenting that for primitive operations and `from_str()`.
Use const initializer for LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT
This reduces the size of the __getit function for LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT and should speed up accesses of LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT a bit.
Make write/print macros eagerly drop temporaries
This PR fixes the 2 regressions in #96434 (`println` and `eprintln`) and changes all the other similar macros (`write`, `writeln`, `print`, `eprint`) to match the old pre-#94868 behavior of `println` and `eprintln`.

Stabilize `Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped`
CC https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27709 (tracking issue for the `ip` feature which contains more
functions)
The function `Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4` is bad because it also returns an IPv4
address for the IPv6 loopback address `::1`. Stabilize
`Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped` so we can recommend that function instead.
Fix typo in futex RwLock::write_contended.
I wrote `state` where I should've used `s`.
This was spotted by `@Warrenren.`
This change removes the unnecessary `s` variable to prevent that mistake.
Fortunately, this typo didn't affect the correctness of the lock, as the
second half of the condition (!has_writers_waiting) is enough for
correctness, which explains why this mistake didn't show up during
testing.

Fix rusty grammar in `std::error::Reporter` docs
### Commit
I initially saw "print's" instead of "prints" at the start of the doc comment for `std::error::Reporter`, while reading the docs for that type. Then I figured 'probably more where that came from', so, as well as correcting the foregoing to "prints", I've patched up these three minor solecisms (well, two [types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction), three [tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction)):
- One use of the indicative which should be subjunctive - indeed the sentence immediately following it, which mirrors its structure, _does_ use the subjunctive ([L871](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L871)). Replaced with the subjunctive.
- Two separate clauses joined with commas ([L975](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L975), [L1023](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L1023)). Replaced the first with a semicolon and the second with a period. Admittedly those judgements are pretty much 100% subjective, based on my sense of how the sentences flowed into each other (though ofc the _replacement of the comma itself_ is not subjective or opinion-based).
I know this is silly and finicky, but I hope it helps tidy up the docs a bit for future readers!

From reading the source code, it appears like the desired semantic of
std::unix::rand is to always provide some bytes and never block. For
that reason GRND_NONBLOCK is checked before calling getrandom(0), so
that getrandom(0) won't block. If it would block, then the function
falls back to using /dev/urandom, which for the time being doesn't
block. There are some drawbacks to using /dev/urandom, however, and so
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) was created as a replacement for this exact
circumstance.
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) is the same as /dev/urandom, except:
- It won't leave a warning in dmesg if used at early boot time, which is
a common occurance (and the reason why I found this issue);
- It won't introduce a tiny delay at early boot on newer kernels when
/dev/urandom tries to opportunistically create jitter entropy;
- It only requires 1 syscall, rather than 3.
Other than that, it returns the same "quality" of randomness as
/dev/urandom, and never blocks.
It's only available on kernels ≥5.6, so we try to use it, cache the
result of that attempt, and fall back to to the previous code if it
didn't work.
It is not obvious (at least for me) that complexity of iteration over hash tables depends on capacity and not length. Especially comparing with other containers like Vec or String. I think, this behaviour is worth mentioning.
I run benchmark which tests iteration time for maps with length 50 and different capacities and get this results:
```
capacity - time
64 - 203.87 ns
256 - 351.78 ns
1024 - 607.87 ns
4096 - 965.82 ns
16384 - 3.1188 us
```
If you want to dig why it behaves such way, you can look current implementation in [hashbrown code](f3a9f211d0/src/raw/mod.rs (L1933)).
Benchmarks code would be presented in PR related to this commit.
Remove libstd's calls to `C-unwind` foreign functions
Remove all libstd and its dependencies' usage of `extern "C-unwind"`.
This is a prerequiste of a WIP PR which will forbid libraries calling `extern "C-unwind"` functions to be compiled in `-Cpanic=unwind` and linked against `panic_abort` (this restriction is necessary to address soundness bug #96926).
Cargo will ensure all crates are compiled with the same `-Cpanic` but the std is only compiled `-Cpanic=unwind` but needs the ability to be linked into `-Cpanic=abort`.
Currently there are two places where `C-unwind` is used in libstd:
* `__rust_start_panic` is used for interfacing to the panic runtime. This could be `extern "Rust"`
* `_{rdl,rg}_oom`: a shim `__rust_alloc_error_handler` will be generated by codegen to call into one of these; they can also be `extern "Rust"` (in fact, the generated shim is used as `extern "Rust"`, so I am not even sure why these are not, probably because they used to `extern "C"` and was changed to `extern "C-unwind"` when we allow alloc error hooks to unwind, but they really should just be using Rust ABI).
For dependencies, there is only one `extern "C-unwind"` function call, in `unwind` crate. This can be expressed as a re-export.
More dicussions can be seen in the Zulip thread: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/210922-project-ffi-unwind/topic/soundness.20in.20mixed.20panic.20mode

Make HashMap fall back to RtlGenRandom if BCryptGenRandom fails
With PR #84096, Rust `std::collections::hash_map::RandomState` changed from using `RtlGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ntsecapi/nf-ntsecapi-rtlgenrandom)) to `BCryptGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/bcrypt/nf-bcrypt-bcryptgenrandom)) as its source of secure randomness after much discussion ([here](https://github.com/rust-random/getrandom/issues/65#issuecomment-753634074), among other places).
Unfortunately, after that PR landed, Mozilla Firefox started experiencing fairly-rare crashes during startup while attempting to initialize the `env_logger` crate. ([docs for env_logger](https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger/)) The root issue is that on some machines, `BCryptGenRandom()` will fail with an `Access is denied. (os error 5)` error message. ([Bugzilla issue 1754490](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1754490)) (Discussion in issue #94098)
Note that this is happening upon startup of Firefox's unsandboxed Main Process, so this behavior is different and separate from previous issues ([like this](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1746254)) where BCrypt DLLs were blocked by process sandboxing. In the case of sandboxing, we knew we were doing something abnormal and expected that we'd have to resort to abnormal measures to make it work.
However, in this case we are in a regular unsandboxed process just trying to initialize `env_logger` and getting a panic. We suspect that this may be caused by a virus scanner or some other security software blocking the loading of the BCrypt DLLs, but we're not completely sure as we haven't been able to replicate locally.
It is also possible that Firefox is not the only software affected by this; we just may be one of the pieces of Rust software that has the telemetry and crash reporting necessary to catch it.
I have read some of the historical discussion around using `BCryptGenRandom()` in Rust code, and I respect the decision that was made and agree that it was a good course of action, so I'm not trying to open a discussion about a return to `RtlGenRandom()`. Instead, I'd like to suggest that perhaps we use `RtlGenRandom()` as a "fallback RNG" in the case that BCrypt doesn't work.
This pull request implements this fallback behavior. I believe this would improve the robustness of this essential data structure within the standard library, and I see only 2 potential drawbacks:
1. Slight added overhead: It should be quite minimal though. The first call to `sys::rand::hashmap_random_keys()` will incur a bit of initialization overhead, and every call after will incur roughly 2 non-atomic global reads and 2 easily predictable branches. Both should be negligible compared to the actual cost of generating secure random numbers
2. `RtlGenRandom()` is deprecated by Microsoft: Technically true, but as mentioned in [this comment on GoLang](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33542#issuecomment-626124873), this API is ubiquitous in Windows software and actually removing it would break lots of things. Also, Firefox uses it already in [our C++ code](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5f88c1d6977e03e22d3420d0cdf8ad0113c2eb31/mfbt/RandomNum.cpp#25), and [Chromium uses it in their code as well](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/rand_util_win.cc) (which transitively means that Microsoft uses it in their own web browser, Edge). If there did come a time when Microsoft truly removes this API, it should be easy enough for Rust to simply remove the fallback in the code I've added here
Fix use of SetHandleInformation on UWP
The use of `SetHandleInformation` (introduced in #96441 to make `HANDLE` inheritable) breaks UWP builds because it is not available for UWP targets.
Proposed workaround: duplicate the `HANDLE` with `inherit = true` and immediately close the old one. Traditional Windows Desktop programs are not affected.

Add rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed to Owned/Borrowed Fd/Socket
PR #94586 added support for using
`rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed` on values where the "null" value
is the all-ones bitpattern.
Now that #94586 has made it to the stage0 compiler, add
`rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed` to `OwnedFd`, `BorrowedFd`,
`OwnedSocket`, and `BorrowedSocket`, since these types all exclude
all-ones bitpatterns.
This allows `Option<OwnedFd>`, `Option<BorrowedFd>`, `Option<OwnedSocket>`,
and `Option<BorrowedSocket>` to be used in FFI declarations, as described
in the [I/O safety RFC].

ExitCode::exit_process() method
cc `@yaahc` / #93840
(eeek, hit ctrl-enter before I meant to and right after realizing the branch name was wrong. oh, well)
I feel like it makes sense to have the `exit(ExitCode)` function as a method or at least associated function on ExitCode, but maybe that would hurt discoverability? Probably not as much if it's at the top of the `process::exit()` documentation or something, but idk. Also very unsure about the name, I'd like something that communicates that you are exiting with *this* ExitCode, but with a method name being postfix it doesn't seem to flow. `code.exit_process_with()` ? `.exit_process_with_self()` ? Blech. Maybe it doesn't matter, since ideally just `code.exit()` or something would be clear simply by the name and single parameter but 🤷
Also I'd like to touch up the `ExitCode` docs (which I did a bit here), but that would probably be good in a separate PR, right? Since I think the beta deadline is coming up.
