Remove outdated part of comment claiming thread_local re-enters global allocator
Fix typo in doc comment
Add comments for guarantees given and footnote that System may still be called
Revise mention of using the global allocator
Allow for the possibility that the global allocator is the system allocator.

There are multiple references in this module's documentation to the acronym "TLS", without defining it. This is confusing for the reader.
I propose that this acronym be defined during the first use of the term.
Bump boostrap compiler to new beta
Currently failing due to something about the const stability checks and `panic!`. I'm not sure why though since I wasn't able to see any PRs merged in the past few days that would result in a `cfg(bootstrap)` that shouldn't be removed. cc `@RalfJung` #131349
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
The `thread_local!` examples use `RefCell` for `Copy` types. Update
examples to have one `Copy` and one non-`Copy` type using `Cell` and
`RefCell`, respectively.
Help with common API confusion, like asking for `push` when the data structure really has `append`.

#59450
`local_key_cell_methods` has been stable for a while and provides a much less
clunky way to interface with thread-local variables.
Additionaly add context to the documentation about why types with interior
mutability are needed.
Don't claim `LocalKey::with` prevents a reference to be sent across threads
The documentation for `LocalKey` claims that `with` yields a reference that cannot be sent across threads, but this is false since you can easily do that with scoped threads. What it actually prevents is the reference from outliving the current thread.
This allows removing all the platform-dependent code from `library/std/src/thread/local.rs` and `library/std/src/thread/mod.rs`

Move __thread_local_inner macro in crate::thread::local to crate::sys.
Currently, the tidy check does not fail for `library/std/src/thread/local.rs` even though it contains platform specific code. This is beacause target_family did not exist at the time the tidy checks were written [1].
