Uplift `temporary-cstring-as-ptr` lint from `clippy` into rustc
The general consensus seems to be that this lint covers a common enough mistake to warrant inclusion in rustc.
The diagnostic message might need some tweaking, as I'm not sure the use of second-person perspective matches the rest of rustc, but I'd like to hear others' thoughts on that.
(cc #53224).

Closes#75172.
`#[deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)]` in sys/wasm
This is part of #73904.
This encloses unsafe operations in unsafe fn in `libstd/sys/wasm`.
@rustbot modify labels: F-unsafe-block-in-unsafe-fn
replace `#[allow_internal_unstable]` with `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` for `const fn`s
`#[allow_internal_unstable]` is currently used to side-step feature gate and stability checks.
While it was originally only meant to be used only on macros, its use was expanded to `const fn`s.
This pr adds stricter checks for the usage of `#[allow_internal_unstable]` (only on macros) and introduces the `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` attribute for usage on `const fn`s.
This pr does not change any of the functionality associated with the use of `#[allow_internal_unstable]` on macros or the usage of `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` (instead of `#[allow_internal_unstable]`) on `const fn`s (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69399#issuecomment-712911540).
Note: The check for `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` currently only validates that the attribute is used on a function, because I don't know how I would check if the function is a `const fn` at the place of the check. I therefore openend this as a 'draft pull request'.
Closesrust-lang/rust#69399

Throw core::panic!("message") as &str instead of String.
This makes `core::panic!("message")` consistent with `std::panic!("message")`, which throws a `&str` and not a `String`.
This also makes any other panics from `core::panicking::panic` result in a `&str` rather than a `String`, which includes compiler-generated panics such as the panics generated for `mem::zeroed()`.
---
Demonstration:
```rust
use std::panic;
use std::any::Any;
fn main() {
panic::set_hook(Box::new(|panic_info| check(panic_info.payload())));
check(&*panic::catch_unwind(|| core::panic!("core")).unwrap_err());
check(&*panic::catch_unwind(|| std::panic!("std")).unwrap_err());
}
fn check(msg: &(dyn Any + Send)) {
if let Some(s) = msg.downcast_ref::<String>() {
println!("Got a String: {:?}", s);
} else if let Some(s) = msg.downcast_ref::<&str>() {
println!("Got a &str: {:?}", s);
}
}
```
Before:
```
Got a String: "core"
Got a String: "core"
Got a &str: "std"
Got a &str: "std"
```
After:
```
Got a &str: "core"
Got a &str: "core"
Got a &str: "std"
Got a &str: "std"
```
revise Hermit's mutex interface to support the behaviour of StaticMutex
rust-lang/rust#77147 simplifies things by splitting this Mutex type into two types matching the two use cases: StaticMutex and MovableMutex. To support the new behavior of StaticMutex, we move part of the mutex implementation into libstd.
The interface to the OS changed. Consequently, I removed a few functions, which aren't longer needed.
According to [the bionic status page], `linkat` has only been available
since API level 21. Since Android is based on Linux and Linux's `link`
doesn't follow symlinks, just use `link` on Android.

Duration::ZERO composes better with match and various other things,
at the cost of an occasional parens, and results in less work for the
optimizer, so let's use that instead.
This expands time's test suite to use more and in more places the
range of methods and constants added to Duration in recent
proposals for the sake of testing more API surface area and
improving legibility.
const keyword: brief paragraph on 'const fn'
`const fn` were mentioned in the title, but called "deterministic functions" which is not their main property (though at least currently it is a consequence of being const-evaluable). This adds a brief paragraph discussing them, also in the hopes of clarifying that they do *not* have any effect on run-time uses.
If pthread mutex initialization fails, the failure will go unnoticed unless
debug assertions are enabled. Any subsequent use of mutex will also silently
fail, since return values from lock & unlock operations are similarly checked
only through debug assertions.
In some implementations the mutex initialization requires a memory
allocation and so it does fail in practice.
Check that initialization succeeds to ensure that mutex guarantees
mutual exclusion.
Add std:🧵:available_concurrency
This PR adds a counterpart to [C++'s `std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency) to Rust, tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74479.
cc/ `@rust-lang/libs`
## Motivation
Being able to know how many hardware threads a platform supports is a core part of building multi-threaded code. In C++ 11 this has become available through the [`std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency) API. Currently in Rust most of the ecosystem depends on the [`num_cpus` crate](https://docs.rs/num_cpus/1.13.0/num_cpus/) ([no.35 in top 500 crates](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwahRMHG3buvnfHjmPQFU4Kyfq15oTwbfsuZpwHUKc4/edit#gid=1253069234)) to provide this functionality. This PR proposes an API to provide access to the number of hardware threads available on a given platform.
__edit (2020-07-24):__ The purpose of this PR is to provide a hint for how many threads to spawn to saturate the processor. There's value in introducing APIs for NUMA and Windows processor groups, but those are intentionally out of scope for this PR. See: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74480#issuecomment-662116186.
## Naming
Discussing the naming of the API on Zulip surfaced two options:
- `std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`
- `std:🧵:hardware_threads`
Both options seemed acceptable, but overall people seem to gravitate the most towards `hardware_threads`. Additionally `@jonas-schievink` pointed out that the "hardware threads" terminology is well-established and is used in among other the [RISC-V specification](https://riscv.org/specifications/isa-spec-pdf/) (page 20):
> A component is termed a core if it contains an independent instruction fetch unit. A RISC-V-compatible core might support multiple RISC-V-compatible __hardware threads__, or harts, through multithreading.
It's also worth noting that [the original paper introducing C++'s `std::thread` submodule](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2320.html) unfortunately doesn't feature any discussion on the naming of `hardware_concurrency`, so we can't use that to help inform our decision here.
## Return type
An important consideration `@joshtriplett` brought up is that we don't want to default to `1` for platforms where the number of available threads cannot be retrieved. Instead we want to inform the users of the fact that we don't know and allow them to handle that case. Which is why this PR uses `Option<NonZeroUsize>` as its return type, where `None` is returned on platforms where we don't know the number of hardware threads available.
The reasoning for `NonZeroUsize` vs `usize` is that if the number of threads for a platform are known, they'll always be at least 1. As evidenced by the example the `NonZero*` family of APIs may currently not be the most ergonomic to use, but improving the ergonomics of them is something that I think we can address separately.
## Implementation
`@Mark-Simulacrum` pointed out that most of the code we wanted to expose here was already available under `libtest`. So this PR mostly moves the internal code of libtest into a public API.
