liballoc: introduce String, Vec const-slicing
This change `const`-qualifies many methods on `Vec` and `String`, notably `as_slice`, `as_str`, `len`. These changes are made behind the unstable feature flag `const_vec_string_slice`.
## Motivation
This is to support simultaneous variance over ownership and constness. I have an enum type that may contain either `String` or `&str`, and I want to produce a `&str` from it in a possibly-`const` context.
```rust
enum StrOrString<'s> {
Str(&'s str),
String(String),
}
impl<'s> StrOrString<'s> {
const fn as_str(&self) -> &str {
match self {
// In a const-context, I really only expect to see this variant, but I can't switch the implementation
// in some mode like #[cfg(const)] -- there has to be a single body
Self::Str(s) => s,
// so this is a problem, since it's not `const`
Self::String(s) => s.as_str(),
}
}
}
```
Currently `String` and `Vec` don't support this, but can without functional changes. Similar logic applies for `len`, `capacity`, `is_empty`.
## Changes
The essential thing enabling this change is that `Unique::as_ptr` is `const`. This lets us convert `RawVec::ptr` -> `Vec::as_ptr` -> `Vec::as_slice` -> `String::as_str`.
I had to move the `Deref` implementations into `as_{str,slice}` because `Deref` isn't `#[const_trait]`, but I would expect this change to be invisible up to inlining. I moved the `DerefMut` implementations as well for uniformity.
This change `const`-qualifies many methods on Vec and String, notably
`as_slice`, `as_str`, `len`. These changes are made behind the unstable

Ignore allocation bytes in some mir-opt tests
This adds `rustc -Zdump-mir-exclude-alloc-bytes` to skip writing allocation bytes in MIR dumps, and applies it to tests that were failing on s390x due to its big-endian byte order.
Fixes#126261
In 126578 we ended up with more binary size increases than expected.
This change attempts to avoid inlining large things into small things, to avoid that kind of increase, in cases when top-down inlining will still be able to do that inlining later.
Remove more `PtrToPtr` casts in GVN
This addresses two things I noticed in MIR:
1. `NonNull::<T>::eq` does `(a as *mut T) == (b as *mut T)`, but it could just compare the `*const T`s, so this removes `PtrToPtr` casts that are on both sides of a pointer comparison, so long as they're not fat-to-thin casts.
2. `NonNull::<T>::addr` does `transmute::<_, usize>(p as *const ())`, but so long as `T: Thin` that cast doesn't do anything, and thus we can directly transmute the `*const T` instead.
r? mir-opt
`PtrMetadata` doesn't care about `*const`/`*mut`/`&`/`&mut`, so GVN away those casts in its argument.
This includes updating MIR to allow calling PtrMetadata on references too, not just raw pointers. That means that `[T]::len` can be just `_0 = PtrMetadata(_1)`, for example.

Apparently MIR borrowck cares about at least one of these for checking variance.
In runtime MIR, though, there's no need for them as `PtrToPtr` does the same thing.
(Banning them simplifies passes like GVN that no longer need to handle multiple cast possibilities.)
The only non-obvious changes:
- `building/storage_live_dead_in_statics.rs` has a `#[rustfmt::skip]`
attribute to avoid reformating a table of data.
- Two `.mir` files have slight changes involving line numbers.
- In `unusual_item_types.rs` an `EMIT_MIR` annotation is moved to
outside a function, which is the usual spot, because `tidy` complains
if such a comment is indented.
The commit also tweaks the comments in `rustfmt.toml`.
Enable DestinationPropagation by default.
~~Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115291.~~
This PR proposes to enable the destination propagation pass by default.
This pass is meant to reduce the amount of copies present in MIR.
At the same time, this PR removes the `RenameReturnPlace` pass, as it is currently unsound.
`DestinationPropagation` is not limited to `_0`, but does not handle borrowed locals.
Casting to `*const ()` or `*mut ()` just bloats the MIR, so let's not.
If ACP#362 goes through we can keep calling `ptr::from_raw_parts(_mut)` in these also without the cast, but that hasn't had any libs-api attention yet, so I'm not waiting on it.
Account for immutably borrowed locals in MIR copy-prop and GVN
For the most part, we consider that immutably borrowed `Freeze` locals still fulfill SSA conditions. As the borrow is immutable, any use of the local will have the value given by the single assignment, and there can be no surprise.
This allows copy-prop to merge a non-borrowed local with a borrowed local. We chose to keep copy-classes heads unborrowed, as those may be easier to optimize in later passes.
This also allows to GVN the value behind an immutable borrow. If a SSA local is borrowed, dereferencing that borrow is equivalent to copying the local's value: re-executing the assignment between the borrow and the dereference would be UB.
r? `@ghost` for perf
