This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
Add TcpListener::into_incoming and IntoIncoming
The `incoming` method is really useful, however for some use cases the borrow
this introduces is needlessly restricting. Thus, an owned variant is added.

I/O safety.
Introduce `OwnedFd` and `BorrowedFd`, and the `AsFd` trait, and
implementations of `AsFd`, `From<OwnedFd>` and `From<T> for OwnedFd`
for relevant types, along with Windows counterparts for handles and
sockets.
Tracking issue: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87074>
RFC: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/3128-io-safety.md>
Highlights:
- The doc comments at the top of library/std/src/os/unix/io/mod.rs and library/std/src/os/windows/io/mod.rs
- The new types and traits in library/std/src/os/unix/io/fd.rs and library/std/src/os/windows/io/handle.rs
- The removal of the `RawHandle` struct the Windows impl, which had the same name as the `RawHandle` type alias, and its functionality is now folded into `Handle`.
Managing five levels of wrapping (File wraps sys::fs::File wraps sys::fs::FileDesc wraps OwnedFd wraps RawFd, etc.) made for a fair amount of churn and verbose as/into/from sequences in some places. I've managed to simplify some of them, but I'm open to ideas here.
r? `@joshtriplett`
While going through the "The Rust Programming Language" book (Klabnik & Nichols), the TCP server example directs us to use TcpListener::incoming. I was curious how I could pass this value to a function (before reading ahead in the book), so I looked up the docs to determine the signature.
When I opened the docs, I found https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.TcpListener.html#method.incoming, which didn't mention TcpStream anywhere in the example.
Eventually, I clicked on https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.TcpListener.html#method.accept in the docs (after clicking a few other locations first), and was able to surmise that the value contained TcpStream.
## Opportunity
While this type is mentioned several times in this doc, I feel that someone should be able to fully use the results of the TcpListner::incoming iterator based solely on the docs of just this method.
## Implementation
I took the code from the top-level TcpListener https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.TcpListener.html#method.incoming and blended it with the existing docs for TcpListener::incoming https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.TcpListener.html#method.incoming.
It does make the example a little longer, and it also introduces a little duplication. It also gives the reader the type signatures they need to move on to the next step.
## Additional considerations
I noticed that in this doc, `handle_connection` and `handle_client` are both used to accept a TcpStream in the docs on this page. I want to standardize on one function name convention, so readers don't accidentally think two different concepts are being referenced. I didn't want to cram do too much in one PR, I can update this PR to make that change, or I could send another PR (if you would like).
First attempted contribution to Rust (and I'm also still very new, hence reading through the rust book for the first time)! Would you please let me know what you think?
