Fixes a technicality regarding the size of C's `char` type
Specifically, ISO/IEC 9899:2018 — better known as "C18" — (and at least
C11, C99 and C89) do not specify the size of `byte` in bits.
Section 3.6 defines "byte" as "addressable unit of data storage" while
section 6.2.5 ("Types") only defines "char" as "large enough to store
any member of the basic execution set" giving it a lower bound of 7 bit
(since there are 96 characters in the basic execution set).
With section 6.5.3.4 paragraph 4 "When sizeof is applied to an operant
that has type char […] the result is 1" you could read this as the size
of `char` in bits being defined as exactly the same as the number of
bits in a byte but it's also valid to read that as an exception.
In general implementations take `char` as the smallest unit of
addressable memory, which for modern byte-addressed architectures is
overwhelmingly 8 bits to the point of this convention being completely
cemented into just about all of our software.
So is any of this actually relevant at all? I hope not. I sincerely hope
that this never, ever comes up.
But if for some reason a poor rustacean is having to interface with C
code running on a Cray X1 that in 2003 is still doing word-addressed
memory with 64-bit chars and they trust the docs here blindly it will
blow up in her face. And I'll be truly sorry for her to have to deal
with … all of that.

Add initial support for m68k
This patch series adds initial support for m68k making use of the new M68k
backend introduced with LLVM-13. Additional changes will be needed to be
able to actually use the backend for this target.

Add intra-doc links and small changes to `std::os` to be more consistent
I believe that a few items in `std::os` should be linked. I've also added a basic example in `std::os::windows`.

Add chown functions to std::os::unix::fs to change the owner and group of files
This is a straightforward wrapper that uses the existing helpers for C
string handling and errno handling.
Having this available is convenient for UNIX utility programs written in
Rust, and avoids having to call unsafe functions like `libc::chown`
directly and handle errors manually, in a program that may otherwise be
entirely safe code.
In addition, these functions provide a more Rustic interface by
accepting appropriate traits and using `None` rather than `-1`.

It was previously unclear which should be used when.

Stabilize std::os::unix::fs::chroot
I've verified that this works as documented, and I've tested it in (a nightly
build of) production software as a replacement for an unsafe call to
`libc::chroot`. It's been available in nightly for a few releases. I think it's
ready to stabilize.

Fix typos “a”→“an”
Fix typos in comments; found using a regex to find some easy instance of incorrect usage of a vs. an.
While automation was used to find these, every change was checked manually.

_For `clippy`, I don’t know if the changes should better better be moved to a PR to the original repo._

This has some overlap with #88226, but neither is a strict superset of the other.
If you want multiple commits, I can split it up; in that case, make sure to suggest a criterion for splitting.

Implement `AsFd`, `From<OwnedFd>`, and `Into<OwnedFd>` for
`UnixListener`. This is a follow-up to #87329.

Option<OwnedHandle>
The name (and updated documentation) make the FFI-only usage clearer, and wrapping Option<OwnedHandle> avoids the need to write a separate Drop or Debug impl.

`mmap` doesn't *always* cause undefined behavior; it depends on the
details of how you use it.

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.

Change WASI's `RawFd` from `u32` to `c_int` (`i32`).
WASI previously used `u32` as its `RawFd` type, since its "file descriptors"
are unsigned table indices, and there's no fundamental reason why WASI can't
have more than 2^31 handles.
However, this creates myriad little incompability problems with code
that also supports Unix platforms, where `RawFd` is `c_int`. While WASI
isn't a Unix, it often shares code with Unix, and this difference made
such shared code inconvenient. #87329 is the most recent example of such
code.
So, switch WASI to use `c_int`, which is `i32`. This will mean that code
intending to support WASI should ideally avoid assuming that negative file
descriptors are invalid, even though POSIX itself says that file descriptors
are never negative.
This is a breaking change, but `RawFd` is considerd an experimental
feature in [the documentation].

Add Linux-specific pidfd process extensions (take 2)
Continuation of #77168.
I addressed the following concerns from the original PR:
- make `CommandExt` and `ChildExt` sealed traits
- wrap file descriptors in `PidFd` struct representing ownership over the fd
- add `take_pidfd` to take the fd out of `Child`
- close fd when dropped
