These methods missed the beta cutoff. See #80962 for details.

Stabilize remaining integer methods as `const fn`
This pull request stabilizes the following methods as `const fn`:
- `i*::checked_div`
- `i*::checked_div_euclid`
- `i*::checked_rem`
- `i*::checked_rem_euclid`
- `i*::div_euclid`
- `i*::overflowing_div`
- `i*::overflowing_div_euclid`
- `i*::overflowing_rem`
- `i*::overflowing_rem_euclid`
- `i*::rem_euclid`
- `i*::wrapping_div`
- `i*::wrapping_div_euclid`
- `i*::wrapping_rem`
- `i*::wrapping_rem_euclid`
- `u*::checked_div`
- `u*::checked_div_euclid`
- `u*::checked_rem`
- `u*::checked_rem_euclid`
- `u*::div_euclid`
- `u*::overflowing_div`
- `u*::overflowing_div_euclid`
- `u*::overflowing_rem`
- `u*::overflowing_rem_euclid`
- `u*::rem_euclid`
- `u*::wrapping_div`
- `u*::wrapping_div_euclid`
- `u*::wrapping_rem`
- `u*::wrapping_rem_euclid`
These can all be implemented on the current stable (1.49). There are two unstable details: const likely/unlikely and unchecked division/remainder. Both of these are for optimizations, and are in no way required to make the methods function; there is no exposure of these details publicly. Per comments below, it seems best practice is to stabilize the intrinsics. As such, `intrinsics::unchecked_div` and `intrinsics::unchecked_rem` have been stabilized as `const` as part of this pull request as well. The methods themselves remain unstable.
I believe part of the reason these were not stabilized previously was the behavior around division by 0 and modulo 0. After testing on nightly, the diagnostic for something like `const _: i8 = 5i8 % 0i8;` is similar to that of `const _: i8 = 5i8.rem_euclid(0i8);` (assuming the appropriate feature flag is enabled). As such, I believe these methods are ready to be stabilized as `const fn`.
This pull request represents the final methods mentioned in #53718. As such, this PR closes#53718.

Stabilize `unsigned_abs`
Resolves#74913.
This PR stabilizes the `i*::unsigned_abs()` method, which returns the absolute value of an integer _as its unsigned equivalent_. This has the advantage that it does not overflow on `i*::MIN`.
I have gone ahead and used this in a couple locations throughout the repository.
Integer types have a `count_ones` method that end up calling
`intrinsics::ctpop`.
On some architectures, that intrinsic is translated as a corresponding
CPU instruction know as "popcount" or "popcnt".
This PR makes it so that searching for those names in rustdoc shows those methods.

Also stabilize constctlz for const ctlz_nonzero.
The public methods stabilized const by this commit are:
* `{i*,u*}::checked_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::saturating_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::wrapping_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::overflowing_pow`
* `{i*,u*}::pow`
* `u*::next_power_of_two`
* `u*::checked_next_power_of_two`
* `u*::wrapping_next_power_of_two` (the method itself is still unstable)
