Rollup merge of #161209 - scottmcm:redo-npot, r=clarfonthey

Rework `next_power_of_two` to always be `1 << …`

r? @clarfonthey
Who accidentally nerd-sniped me by mentioning rust-lang/rust#161069

This obviates that PR by reworking the `(checked_)next_power_of_two` logic to calculate the necessary exponent e, then return 2ᵉ, so it's structurally obvious from the IR -- the `shl nuw 1, …` instruction -- that it's always a power of two.

As always, the reason this is tricky is because shifts don't work for `<< Self::BITS`.  The previous code handled that by checking `self <= 1` first, and thus doing a `-1 >> n` where `n < BITS`.  This code instead flips the check: it looks up-front for a value that will wrap (an input above `1 << (BITS - 1)`) and thus by excluding those cases the calculated `1 << n` always has `n < BITS`.  And the codegen tests show that, without needing any `llvm.assume`s, LLVM can take advantage of it to do things like rewriting `%` to masking.  Plus the overflow check optimizes out for constrained inputs like slice lengths.

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

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 integrated 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).

Quick Start
