Replace const_cstr with cstr crate
This PR replaces the `const_cstr` macro inside `rustc_data_structures` with `cstr` macro from [cstr](https://crates.io/crates/cstr) crate.
The two macros basically serve the same purpose, which is to generate `&'static CStr` from a string literal. `cstr` is better because it validates the literal at compile time, while the existing `const_cstr` does it at runtime when `debug_assertions` is enabled. In addition, the value `cstr` generates can be used in constant context (which is seemingly not needed anywhere currently, though).
They were originally called "opt-in, built-in traits" (OIBITs), but
people realized that the name was too confusing and a mouthful, and so
they were renamed to just "auto traits". The feature flag's name wasn't
updated, though, so that's what this PR does.
There are some other spots in the compiler that still refer to OIBITs,
but I don't think changing those now is worth it since they are internal
and not particularly relevant to this PR.

Move likely/unlikely argument outside of invisible unsafe block
The previous `likely!`/`unlikely!` macros were unsound because it permits the caller's expr to contain arbitrary unsafe code.
```rust
pub fn huh() -> bool {
likely!(std::ptr::read(&() as *const () as *const bool))
}
```
**Before:** compiles cleanly.
**After:**
```console
error[E0133]: call to unsafe function is unsafe and requires unsafe function or block
|
70 | likely!(std::ptr::read(&() as *const () as *const bool))
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ call to unsafe function
|
= note: consult the function's documentation for information on how to avoid undefined behavior
```

perf: buffer SipHasher128
This is an attempt to improve Siphasher128 performance by buffering input. Although it reduces instruction count, I'm not confident the effect on wall times, or lack-thereof, is worth the change.

Additional notes not reflected in source comments:
* Implementation choices were guided by a combination of results from rustc-perf and micro-benchmarks, mostly the former.
* ~~I tried a couple of different struct layouts that might be more cache friendly with no obvious effect.~~ Update: a particular struct layout was chosen, but it's not critical to performance. See comments in source and discussion below.
* I suspect that buffering would be important to a SIMD-accelerated algorithm, but from what I've read and my own tests, SipHash does not seem very amenable to SIMD acceleration, at least by SSE.
use `array_windows` instead of `windows` in the compiler
I do think these changes are beautiful, but do have to admit that using type inference for the window length
can easily be confusing. This seems like a general issue with const generics, where inferring constants adds an additional
complexity which users have to learn and keep in mind.
Remove redundant nightly features
Removes a bunch of redundant/outdated nightly features. The first commit removes a `core_intrinsics` use for which a stable wrapper has been provided since. The second commit replaces the `const_generics` feature with `min_const_generics` which might get stabilized this year. The third commit is the result of a trial/error run of removing every single feature and then adding it back if compile failed. A bunch of unused features are the result that the third commit removes.
This introduces a no-op `Unhasher` for map keys that are already hash-
like, for example `Fingerprint` and its wrapper `DefPathHash`. For these
we can directly produce the `u64` hash for maps. The first use of this
is `def_path_hash_to_def_id: Option<UnhashMap<DefPathHash, DefId>>`.
