Rollup merge of #101416 - uarif1:doc_non_blocking_stdio, r=joshtriplett

stdio: Document no support for writing to non-blocking stdio/stderr

Printing to stdio/stderr that have been opened with non-blocking
(O_NONBLOCK in linux) can result in an error, which is not handled
by std::io module causing a panic.
