When the feature has been added back (#55148) the feature gate has not
been adjusted accordingly. We have it enabled for 1.32.0, currently in
Beta, so adjust it.

There are a few places where we mention the replacement character in the
docs, and it could be helpful for users to utilize the constant which is
available in the standard library, so let’s link to it!
Implement From for more types on Cow
This is basically https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48191, except that it should be implemented in a way that doesn't break third party crates.
Update canonicalize docs
I was recently working with file-paths in Rust, and I felt let down by the `std::fs::canonicalize` docs, so I figured I should submit a PR with some suggestions.
I was looking for a method to turn a relative path into an absolute path. The `canonicalize` docs didn't mention the words "relative" or "absolute", but they did mention resolving symlinks (which is a kind of canonicalisation and does not imply converting to absolute), so I assumed that's all it did. To remedy this, I've added the word "absolute" to the description of both `std::fs::canonicalize` and `std::path::Path::canonicalize`.
After calling `canonicalize` on Windows, I ran into a bunch of other problems I would not have expected from the function's behaviour on Linux. Specifically, if you call `canonicalize` on a path:
- it's allowed to be much longer than it otherwise would
- `.join("a/slash/delimited/path")` gives you a broken path that Windows can't use, where the same operation would have worked perfectly without `canonicalize` (if the path were short enough)
- the resulting path may confuse other Windows programs if you pass it to them on the command-line, or write it to a config file that they read, etc.
...so I tried to summarize those behaviours too.
If I understand correctly, those behaviours are a side-effect of calling `GetFinalPathNameByHandle`, and the documentation says `canonicalize` might not call that function in future, so maybe those side-effects shouldn't be part of the function's documentation. However, I bet there's a lot of applications deliberately calling `canonicalize` just for the path-length-extension alone, so that particular side-effect is de-facto part of the `canonicalize` interface.
Make signature of Path::strip_prefix accept non-references
I did this a while back but didn't submit a PR. Might as well see what happens.
Fixes#48390.
**Note: This has the potential to cause regressions in type inference.** However, in order for code to break, it would need to be relying on the signature to determine that a type is `&_`, while still being able to figure out what the `_` is. I'm having a hard time imagining such a scenario in real code.
FusedIterator is a marker trait that promises that the implementing
iterator continues to return `None` from `.next()` once it has returned
`None` once (and/or `.next_back()`, if implemented).
The effects of FusedIterator are already widely available through
`.fuse()`, but with stable `FusedIterator`, stable Rust users can
implement this trait for their iterators when appropriate.
type error method suggestions use whitelisted identity-like conversions
Previously, on a type mismatch (and if this wasn't preëmpted by a
higher-priority suggestion), we would look for argumentless methods
returning the expected type, and list them in a `help` note. This had two
major shortcomings: firstly, a lot of the suggestions didn't really make
sense (if you used a &str where a String was expected,
`.to_ascii_uppercase()` is probably not the solution you were hoping
for). Secondly, we weren't generating suggestions from the most useful
traits! We address the first problem with an internal
`#[rustc_conversion_suggestion]` attribute meant to mark methods that keep
the "same value" in the relevant sense, just converting the type. We
address the second problem by making `FnCtxt.probe_for_return_type` pass
the `ProbeScope::AllTraits` to `probe_op`: this would seem to be safe
because grep reveals no other callers of `probe_for_return_type`.
Also, structured suggestions are pretty and good for RLS and friends.
Unfortunately, the trait probing is still not all one would hope for: at a
minimum, we don't know how to rule out `into()` in cases where it wouldn't
actually work, and we don't know how to rule in `.to_owned()` where it
would. Issues #46459 and #46460 have been filed and are ref'd in a FIXME.
This is hoped to resolve#42929, #44672, and #45777.

Also also, we make the E0055 autoderef recursion limit error use the
one-time-diagnostics set, because we can potentially hit the limit a lot
during probing. (Without this,
test/ui/did_you_mean/recursion_limit_deref.rs would report "aborting due to
51 errors").

Provides the following conversion implementations:
* `From<`{`CString`,`&CStr`}`>` for {`Arc`,`Rc`}`<CStr>`
* `From<`{`OsString`,`&OsStr`}`>` for {`Arc`,`Rc`}`<OsStr>`
* `From<`{`PathBuf`,`&Path`}`>` for {`Arc`,`Rc`}`<Path>`
Redox: Return true from Path::is_absolute if a Path contains root or a scheme
In Redox, different subsystems have different filesystem paths. However, the majority of applications using the `Path::is_absolute` function really only want to know if a path is absolute from the perspective of the scheme it is currently running in, usually `file:`. This makes both `file:/` and `/` return `true` from `Path::is_absolute`, meaning that most code does not have to check if it is running on Redox.
Code that wants to know if a path contains a scheme can implement such a check on its own.
