Document restricted_std This PR aims to pin down exactly what restricted_std is meant to achieve and what it isn't. This commit fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware/issues/87 by explaining why the error appears and what the choices the user has. The error describes how std cannot function without knowing about some form of OS/platform support. Any features of std that work without an OS should be moved to core/alloc (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27242 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/103765). Note that the message says "platform" and "environment" because, since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120232, libstd can be built for some JSON targets. This is still unsupported (all JSON targets probably should be unstable https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware/issues/90), but a JSON target with the right configuration should hopefully have some partial libstd support. I propose closing https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware/issues/69 as "Won't fix" since any support of std without properly configured os, vendor or env fields is very fragile considering future upgrades of Rust or dependencies. In addition there's no likely path to it being fixed long term (making std buildable for all targets being the only solution). This is distinct from tier 3 platforms with limited std support implemented (and as such aren't restricted_std) because these platforms can conceptually work in the future and std support should mainly improve over time. The alternative to closing https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware/issues/69 is a new crate feature for std which escapes the restricted_std mechanism in build.rs. It could be used with the -Zbuild-std-features flag if we keep it permanently unstable, which I hope we can do anyway. A minor side-effect in this scenario is that std wouldn't be marked as unstable if documentation for it were generated with build-std. cc ```@ehuss``` |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
