Add [mut_]shift_ref/[mut_]pop_ref functions, which return a pointer to the first/last item in the slice and modify the slice to exclude the returned item. Useful when writing iterators over mutable references.
Add benchmark tests to path/posix

I have written some benchmark tests to `push`, `push_many`, `join`,
`join_many` and `ends_with_path`.
rustdoc: Use new ||/proc syntax

Closes #10686
Update unicode.py to reflect language changes
Update Unicode data to version 6.3
Fix handling of upper/lowercase, and whitespace

Previously, `//// foo` and `/*** foo ***/` were accepted as doc comments. This

Also update the manual for these changes, and modernify the EBNF for comments.
