Fix#124275: Implemented Default for `Arc<str>`
With added implementations.
```
GOOD Arc<CStr>
BROKEN Arc<OsStr> // removed
GOOD Rc<str>
GOOD Rc<CStr>
BROKEN Rc<OsStr> // removed
GOOD Rc<[T]>
GOOD Arc<[T]>
```
For discussion of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124367#issuecomment-2091940137.
Key pain points currently:
> I've had a guess at the best locations/feature attrs for them but they might not be correct.
> However I'm unclear how to get the OsStr impl to compile, which file should they go in to avoid the error below? Is it possible, perhaps with some special std rust lib magic?
alloc: implement FromIterator for Box<str>
`Box<[T]>` implements `FromIterator<T>` using `Vec<T>` + `into_boxed_slice()`.
Add analogous `FromIterator` implementations for `Box<str>`
matching the current implementations for `String`.
Remove the `Global` allocator requirement for `FromIterator<Box<str>>` too.

LLVM currently adds a redundant check for the returned option, in addition
to the `self.ptr != self.end` check when using the default
`Iterator::fold` method that calls `vec::IntoIter::next` in a loop.
- `slice::sort` -> driftsort
https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/main/writeup/driftsort_introduction/text.md
- `slice::sort_unstable` -> ipnsort
https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/main/writeup/ipnsort_introduction/text.md
Replaces the sort implementations with tailor made ones that strike a
balance of run-time, compile-time and binary-size, yielding run-time and
compile-time improvements. Regressing binary-size for `slice::sort`
while improving it for `slice::sort_unstable`. All while upholding the
existing soft and hard safety guarantees, and even extending the soft
guarantees, detecting strict weak ordering violations with a high chance
and reporting it to users via a panic.
In addition the implementation of `select_nth_unstable` is also adapted
as it uses `slice::sort_unstable` internals.
Many, many projects use `size_of` to get the size of a type. However,
it's also often equally easy to hardcode a size (e.g. `8` instead of
`size_of::<u64>()`). Minimizing friction in the use of `size_of` helps
ensure that people use it and make code more self-documenting.
The name `size_of` is unambiguous: the name alone, without any prefix or
path, is self-explanatory and unmistakeable for any other functionality.
Adding it to the prelude cannot produce any name conflicts, as any local
definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't
need to wait for a new edition prelude to add it.
Add `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` as well, with similar
justification: widely useful, self-explanatory, unmistakeable for
anything else, won't produce conflicts.
Relax allocator requirements on some Rc/Arc APIs.
Split out from #119761
* Remove `A: Clone` bound from `Rc::assume_init`(s), `Rc::downcast`, and `Rc::downcast_unchecked` (`Arc` methods were already relaxed by #120445)
* Make `From<Rc<[T; N]>> for Rc<[T]>` allocator-aware (`Arc`'s already is).
* Remove `A: Clone` from `Rc/Arc::unwrap_or_clone`
Internal changes:
* Made `Arc::internal_into_inner_with_allocator` method into `Arc::into_inner_with_allocator` associated fn.
* Add private `Rc::into_inner_with_allocator` (to match Arc), so other fns don't have to juggle `ManuallyDrop`.
* Remove A: Clone bound from Rc::assume_init, Rc::downcast, and Rc::downcast_unchecked.
* Make From<Rc<[T; N]>> for Rc<[T]> allocator-aware.

Documentation of these properties previously existed in a lone paragraph
in the `fmt` module's documentation:
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.78.0/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-traits>
However, users looking to implement a formatting trait won't necessarily
look there. Therefore, let's add the critical information (that
formatting per se is infallible) to all the involved items.
Box<[T]> implements FromIterator<T> using Vec<T> + into_boxed_slice().
Add analogous FromIterator implementations for Box<str>
matching the current implementations for String.
Remove the Global allocator requirement for FromIterator<Box<str>> too.
Describe and use CStr literals in CStr and CString docs
Mention CStr literals in the description of both types, and use them in some of the code samples for CStr. This is intended to make C string literals more discoverable.
Additionally, I don't think the orange "This example is not tested" warnings are very encouraging, so I have made the examples on `CStr` build.
String.truncate comment microfix (greater or equal)
String.truncate calls Vec.truncate, in turn, and that states "is greater or equal to". Beside common sense.
deref patterns: impl `DerefPure` for more std types
Context: [deref patterns](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87121). The requirements of `DerefPure` aren't precise yet, but these types unambiguously satisfy them.
Interestingly, a hypothetical `impl DerefMut for Cow` that does a `Clone` would *not* be eligible for `DerefPure` if we allow mixing deref patterns with normal patterns. If the following is exhaustive then the `DerefMut` would cause UB:
```rust
match &mut Cow::Borrowed(&()) {
Cow::Owned(_) => ..., // Doesn't match
deref!(_x) if false => ..., // Causes the variant to switch to `Owned`
Cow::Borrowed(_) => ..., // Doesn't match
// We reach unreachable
}
```
