The notation used here (e.g. "transmute `t: T` to `Option<T>`") felt
maybe a bit heavy, in the context of the library documentation, so
let's elaborate this a bit.
Also, in the `Option` docs, we talk about this being true for "the
following types `T`", but it felt this caveat might get a bit lost in
the next sentence that talks about the valid transmutations, so let's
reiterate the caveat.
While we're touching the line, we can improve:
> The only difference is the implied semantics:
This sentence was a bit awkward due to the mismatched plurality and
not identifying the difference being spoken to. We'll reword this to
make it more clear.
We'll wrap to 80, since the existing text and most of the doc comments
in these files are wrapped this way.
Make slice comparisons const
This needed a fix for `derive_const`, too, as it wasn't usable in libcore anymore as trait impls need const stability attributes. I think we can't use the same system as normal trait impls while `const_trait_impl` is still unstable.

Tracking the old name of renamed unstable library features
This PR resolves the first problem of rust-lang/rust#141617 : tracking renamed unstable features. The first commit is to add a ui test, and the second one tracks the changes. I will comment on the code for clarification.

Guarantee behavior of transmuting `Option::<T>::None` subject to NPO
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115333, we added a guarantee that transmuting from `[0u8; N]` to `Option<P>` is sound where `P` is a pointer type subject to the null pointer optimization (NPO). It would be useful to be able to guarantee the inverse - that a `None::<P>` value can be transmutes to an array and that will yield `[0u8; N]`.
Closes#117591
Remove `#[cfg(not(test))]` gates in `core`
These gates are unnecessary now that unit tests for `core` are in a separate package, `coretests`, instead of in the same files as the source code. They previously prevented the two `core` versions from conflicting with each other.

Add `[Option<T>; N]::transpose`
This PR as a new unstable libs API, `[Option<T>; N]::transpose`, which permits going from `[Option<T>; N]` to `Option<[T; N]>`.
This new API doesn't have an ACP as it was directly asked by T-libs-api in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97601#issuecomment-2372109119:
> [..] but it'd be trivial to provide a helper method `.transpose()` that turns array-of-Option into Option-of-array (**and we think that method should exist**; it already does for array-of-MaybeUninit).
