Since the stabilization in #127679 has reached stage0, 1.82-beta, we can
start using `&raw` freely, and even the soft-deprecated `ptr::addr_of!`
and `ptr::addr_of_mut!` can stop allowing the unstable feature.
I intentionally did not change any documentation or tests, but the rest
of those macro uses are all now using `&raw const` or `&raw mut` in the
standard library.
This makes their intent and expected location clearer. We see some
examples where these comments were not clearly separate from `use`
declarations, which made it hard to understand what the comment is
describing.
There's PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123184
which avoids allocation for ZST ThinBox.
That PR has an issue with unsoundness with misuse of `MaybeUninit`
(see comments in that PR).
This PR is much simpler implementation which does not have this
problem, but it uses `const_allocate` feature.
Create try_new function for ThinBox
The `allocator_api` feature has proven very useful in my work in the FreeBSD kernel. I've found a few places where a `ThinBox` #92791 would be useful, but it must be able to be fallibly allocated for it to be used in the kernel.
This PR proposes a change to add such a constructor for ThinBox.

Make `ThinBox<T>` covariant in `T`
Just like `Box<T>`, we want `ThinBox<T>` to be covariant in `T`, but the
projection in `WithHeader<<T as Pointee>::Metadata>` was making it
invariant. This is now hidden as `WithOpaqueHeader`, which we type-cast
whenever the real `WithHeader<H>` type is needed.
Fixes the problem noted in <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/92791#issuecomment-1104636249>.
Rust 1.62.0 introduced a couple new `unused_imports` warnings
in `no_global_oom_handling` builds, making a total of 5 warnings:
```txt
warning: unused import: `Unsize`

--> library/alloc/src/vec/into_iter.rs:126:19

126 | pub(crate) fn forget_remaining_elements(&mut self) {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
This patch cleans them so that projects compiling `alloc` without
infallible allocations do not see the warnings. It also enables
the use of `-Dwarnings`.
The couple `dead_code` ones may be reverted when some fallible
allocation support starts using them.

Relevant commit messages from squashed history in order:
Add initial version of ThinBox
update test to actually capture failure
swap to middle ptr impl based on matthieu-m's design
Fix stack overflow in debug impl
The previous version would take a `&ThinBox<T>` and deref it once, which
resulted in a no-op and the same type, which it would then print causing
an endless recursion. I've switched to calling `deref` by name to let
method resolution handle deref the correct number of times.
I've also updated the Drop impl for good measure since it seemed like it
could be falling prey to the same bug, and I'll be adding some tests to
verify that the drop is happening correctly.
add test to verify drop is behaving
add doc examples and remove unnecessary Pointee bounds
ThinBox: use NonNull
ThinBox: tests for size

update niche and size tests
add cfg for allocating APIs
check null before calculating offset
