  • use Drop trait in Guard
  • fix formatting
  • remove bare function in Condition.raise_default
  • use moved types instead of borrowed pointers in Condition.{raise,trap}
  • import common functions

Remove `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`

Removes the unstable method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`, see also rust-lang#85604 where I have tried to summarize related discussion so far.

Unicast site-local addresses (`fec0::/10`) were deprecated in [IETF RFC rust-lang#3879](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3879), see also [RFC rust-lang#4291 Section 2.5.7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.7). Any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses. This is mentioned in the docs of `is_unicast_site_local` and already implemented in `is_unicast_global`, which considers addresses in `fec0::/10` to have global scope, thus overlapping with `is_unicast_site_local`.

Given that RFC rust-lang#3879 was published in 2004, long before Rust existed, and it is specified that any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses, I don't see how a user would ever have a need for `is_unicast_site_local`. It is also confusing that currently both `is_unicast_site_local` and `is_unicast_global` can be `true` for an address, but an address can actually only have a single scope. The deprecating RFC mentions that Site-Local scope was confusing to work with and that the classification of an address as either Link-Local or Global better matches the mental model of users.

There has been earlier discussion of removing `is_unicast_site_local` (rust-lang#60145 (comment)) which decided against it, but that had the incorrect assumption that the method was already stable; it is not. (This confusion arose from the placement of the unstable attribute on the entire module, instead of on individual methods, resolved in rust-lang#85672)
