@Mark-Simulacrum this is the patch re: #80407.

I couldn't figure out the branch it needs to go on though, stable is still the old stable but beta already the new beta...?

[beta] backports

This backports accepted PRs and switches to bootstrapping from the released compiler:

* de-stabilize unsized raw ptr methods for Weak rust-lang#80422
* Use package name for top-level directory in bare tarballs rust-lang#80397
* Prevent caching normalization results with a cycle rust-lang#80246

Does this need relnotes?

It landed just before the release, so it shouldn't need relnotes I think.

Re-stabilize Weak::as_ptr and friends for unsized T

As per [T-lang consensus](https://hackmd.io/7r3_is6uTz-163fsOV8Vfg), this uses a branch to handle the dangling case. The discussed optimization of only doing the branch in the T: ?Sized case is left for a followup patch, as doing so is not trivial (as it requires specialization) and not _obviously_ better (as it requires using `wrapping_offset` rather than `offset` more).

<details><summary>Basically said optimization</summary>

Specialize on `T: Sized`:

```rust
fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T {
    if [ T is Sized ] || !is_dangling(ptr) {
        (ptr as *mut T).set_ptr_value( (ptr as *mut u8).wrapping_offset(data_offset) )
    } else {
        ptr::null()
    }
}

fn from_raw(*const T) -> Self {
    if [ T is Sized ] || !ptr.is_null() {
        let ptr = (ptr as *mut RcBox).set_ptr_value( (ptr as *mut u8).wrapping_offset(-data_offset) );
        Weak { ptr }
    } else {
        Weak::new()
    }
}
```

(but with more `set_ptr_value` to avoid `Sized` restrictions and maintain metadata.)

Written in this fashion, this is not a correctness-critical specialization (i.e. so long as `[ T is Sized ]` is false for unsized `T`, it can be `rand()` for sized `T` without breaking correctness), but it's still touchy, so I'd rather do it in another PR with separate review.

This effectively reverts rust-lang#80422 and re-establishes rust-lang#74160. T-libs [previously signed off](rust-lang#74160 (comment)) on this stable API change in rust-lang#74160.
