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

Use default alloc_error_handler for hermit
Hermit now properly separates kernel from userspace.
Applications for hermit can now use Rust's default `alloc_error_handler` instead of calling the kernel's `__rg_oom`.

This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
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.

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.
Remove `Box::leak_with_alloc`
Add leak-test for box with allocator
Rename `AllocErr` to `AllocError` in leak-test
Add `Box::alloc` and adjust examples to use the new API

Guarded with `#![feature(default_alloc_error_handler)]` a default
`alloc_error_handler` is called, if a custom allocator is used and no
other custom `#[alloc_error_handler]` is defined.
The panic message does not contain the size anymore, because it would
pull in the fmt machinery, which would blow up the code size
significantly.
