Remove RawVec::reserve_in_place.

And some related clean-ups.

I recommend reviewing the commits one at a time.

This shouldn't affect perf, but I've seen small changes to RawVec::grow have surprisingly large effects, so let's do a perf run to check:

@Amanieu: with RawVec::reserve_in_place gone, there are no useful uses of ReallocPlacement::InPlace remaining in the codebase. It's only used in AllocRef::grow and AllocRef::shrink, and all implementations of those functions (the default impls in AllocRef, plus the impls in System and Global) simply return an error if InPlace is specified, even for shrink.

Perhaps ReallocPlacement should just be removed? In general InPlace only seems useful if you don't have a way of finding out the actual size of an allocation, in which case you might see if reallocing in place works. But AllocRef does provide a way to get the actual size of an allocation (in theory, if not in current practice), and being able to get the actual size is more useful in general.

[Amanieu]

reserve_in_place is used in src/libarena.

[Amanieu]

Oh nevermind, I see you just removes those uses.

I don't like the idea to remove the feature to grow/shrink in-place from AllocRef. Actually I think this API is missing on Vec, too but wasn't implemented yet as GlobalAlloc does neither support growing in-place, nor overallocating. However ReallocPlacement is pretty long at typing and the order of the parameters in grow has to be looked up, which is why I don't like ReallocPlacement and it's siblings (anymore). There is a proposal around to revert it back do dedicated methods again: rust-lang/wg-allocators#58.

If the API is not going to be added to Vec it's possible to move in-place variants to a third-party crate, but this should be discussed in the linked issue.

8 days without review from @oli-obk, let's try someone else:

Blocked on rust-lang/wg-allocators#58

It's not blocked... this PR removes a use of InPlace that was separate to the uses by AllocRef and its impls. It can land right now.

[Amanieu]

Oh right, good point.
