Stabilize asm! and global_asm!
Tracking issue: #72016
It's been almost 2 years since the original [RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2850) was posted and we're finally ready to stabilize this feature!
The main changes in this PR are:
- Removing `asm!` and `global_asm!` from the prelude as per the decision in #87228.
- Stabilizing the `asm` and `global_asm` features.
- Removing the unstable book pages for `asm` and `global_asm`. The contents are moved to the [reference](https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1105) and [rust by example](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/pull/1483).
- All links to these pages have been removed to satisfy the link checker. In a later PR these will be replaced with links to the reference or rust by example.
- Removing the automatic suggestion for using `llvm_asm!` instead of `asm!` if you're still using the old syntax, since it doesn't work anymore with `asm!` no longer being in the prelude. This only affects code that predates the old LLVM-style `asm!` being renamed to `llvm_asm!`.
- Updating `stdarch` and `compiler-builtins`.
- Updating all the tests.

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.
Make split_inclusive() on an empty slice yield an empty output
`[].split_inclusive()` currently yields a single, empty slice. That's
different from `"".split_inslusive()`, which yields no output at
all. I think that makes the slice version harder to use.
The case where I ran into this bug was when writing code for
generating a diff between two slices of bytes. I wanted to prefix
removed lines with "-" and a added lines with "+". Due to
`split_inclusive()`'s current behavior, that means that my code prints
just a "-" or "+" for empty files. I suspect most existing callers
have similar "bugs" (which would be fixed by this patch).
Closes#89716.
Stabilize `ControlFlow::{is_break, is_continue}`
The type itself was stabilized in 1.55, but using it is not ergonomic without these helper functions. Stabilize them.
r? rust-lang/libs-api
They are also removed from the prelude as per the decision in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87228.
stdarch and compiler-builtins are updated to work with the new, stable
asm! and global_asm! macros.
Make certain panicky stdlib functions behave better under panic_immediate_abort
The stdlib has a `panic_immediate_abort` feature that turns panics into immediate aborts, without any formatting/display logic. This feature was [introduced](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/55011) primarily for codesize-constrained situations.
Unfortunately, this win doesn't quite propagate to `Result::expect()` and `Result::unwrap()`, while the formatting machinery is reduced, `expect()` and `unwrap()` both call `unwrap_failed("msg", &err)` which has a signature of `fn unwrap_failed(msg: &str, error: &dyn fmt::Debug)` and is `#[inline(never)]`. This means that `unwrap_failed` will unconditionally construct a `dyn Debug` trait object even though the object is never used in the function.
Constructing a trait object (even if you never call a method on it!) forces rust to include the vtable and any dependencies. This means that in `panic_immediate_abort` mode, calling expect/unwrap on a Result will pull in a whole bunch of formatting code for the error type even if it's completely unused.
This PR swaps out the function with one that won't require a trait object such that it won't force the inclusion of vtables in the code. It also gates off `#[inline(never)]` in a bunch of other places where allowing the inlining of an abort may be useful (this kind of thing is already done elsewhere in the stdlib).
I don't know how to write a test for this; we don't really seem to have any tests for `panic_immediate_abort` anyway so perhaps it's fine as is.
Minor improvements to `future::join!`'s implementation
This is a follow-up from #91645, regarding [some remarks I made](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/187312-wg-async-foundations/topic/join!/near/264293660).
Mainly:
- it hides the recursive munching through a private `macro`, to avoid leaking such details (a corollary is getting rid of the need to use ``@`` to disambiguate);
- it uses a `match` binding, _outside_ the `async move` block, to better match the semantics from function-like syntax;
- it pre-pins the future before calling into `poll_fn`, since `poll_fn`, alone, cannot guarantee that its capture does not move (to clarify: I believe the previous code was sound, thanks to the outer layer of `async`. But I find it clearer / more robust to refactorings this way 🙂).
- it uses `@ibraheemdev's` very neat `.ready()?`;
- it renames `Took` to `Taken` for consistency with `Done` (tiny nit 😄).
~~TODO~~Done:
- [x] Add unit tests to enforce the function-like `:value` semantics are respected.

Add spin_loop hint for RISC-V architecture
This commit uses the PAUSE instruction (https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1262) to implement RISC-V spin loop, and updates `stdarch` submodule to use the merged PAUSE instruction.

Delete Utf8Lossy::from_str
This whole type is marked as being for str internals only, but this constructor is never used by str internals. If you had a &str already and wanted to lossy display it or iterate its lossy utf8 chunks, you would simply not use Utf8Lossy because the whole &str is known to be one contiguous valid utf8 chunk.
If code really does need to obtain a value of type &Utf8Lossy somewhere, and has only a &str, `Utf8Lossy::from_bytes(s.as_bytes())` remains available. As currently implemented, there is no performance penalty relative to `from_str` i.e. the Utf8Lossy does not "remember" that it was constructed using `from_str` to bypass later utf8 decoding.
adjust const_eval_select documentation
"The Rust compiler assumes" indicates that this is language UB, but [I don't think that is a good idea](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/146212-t-compiler.2Fconst-eval/topic/const_eval_select.20assumptions). This UB would be very hard to test for and looks like a way-too-big footgun. ``@oli-obk`` suggested this is meant to be more like "library UB", so I tried to adjust the docs accordingly.
I also removed all references to "referential transparency". That is a rather vague concept used to mean many different things, and I honestly have no idea what exactly is meant by it in this specific instance. But I assume ``@fee1-dead`` had in their mind a property that all `const fn` code upholds, so by demanding that the runtime code and the const-time code are *observably equivalent*, whatever that property is would also be enforced here.

Fix incorrect stability attributes
These two instances were caught in #90356, but that PR isn't going to be merged. I've extracted these to ensure it's still correct.
