Constify `Index{,Mut}` for `[T]`, `str`, and `[T; N]`
Several panic functions were rewired (via `const_eval_select`) to simpler implementations that do not require formatting for compile-time usage.

This'll still go via slices eventually for large arrays, but this way slice comparisons to short arrays can use the same memcmp-avoidance tricks.
Added some tests for all the combinations to make sure I didn't accidentally infinitely-recurse something.
`array::IntoIter` has a bunch of really handy logic for dealing with partial arrays, but it's currently hamstrung by only being creatable from a fully-initialized array.
This PR adds two new constructors:
- a safe & const `empty`, since `[].into_iter()` gives `<T, 0>`, not `<T, N>`.
- an unsafe `from_raw_parts`, to allow experimentation with new uses.
(Slice & vec iterators don't need `from_raw_parts` because you `from_raw_parts` the slice or vec instead, but there's no useful way to made a `<[T; N]>::from_raw_parts`, so I think this is a reasonable place to have one.)
Fixes 85115
This only updates unstable functions.
`array::try_map` didn't actually exist before, despite the tracking issue 79711 still being open from the old PR 79713.
Because after PR 86041, the optimizer no longer load-merges at the LLVM IR level, which might be part of the perf loss. (I'll run perf and see if this makes a difference.)
Also I added a codegen test so this hopefully won't regress in future -- it passes on stable and with my change here, but not on the 2021-11-09 nightly.
Add 'core::array::from_fn' and 'core::array::try_from_fn'
These auxiliary methods fill uninitialized arrays in a safe way and are particularly useful for elements that don't implement `Default`.
```rust
// Foo doesn't implement Default
struct Foo(usize);
let _array = core::array::from_fn::<_, _, 2>(|idx| Foo(idx));
```
Different from `FromIterator`, it is guaranteed that the array will be fully filled and no error regarding uninitialized state will be throw. In certain scenarios, however, the creation of an **element** can fail and that is why the `try_from_fn` function is also provided.
```rust
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
enum SomeError {
Foo,
}
let array = core::array::try_from_fn(|i| Ok::<_, SomeError>(i));
assert_eq!(array, Ok([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]));
let another_array = core::array::try_from_fn(|_| Err(SomeError::Foo));
assert_eq!(another_array, Err(SomeError::Foo));
```
Partially stabilize `array_methods`
This stabilizes `<[T; N]>::as_slice` and `<[T; N]>::as_mut_slice`, which is forms part of the `array_methods` feature: #76118.
This also makes `<[T; N]>::as_slice` const due to its trivial nature.
