Rollup merge of #96089 - ojeda:no-vec-no_global_oom_handling, r=Mark-Simulacrum
`alloc`: make `vec!` unavailable under `no_global_oom_handling`
`alloc`: make `vec!` unavailable under `no_global_oom_handling`
The `vec!` macro has 3 rules, but two are not usable under
`no_global_oom_handling` builds of the standard library
(even with a zero size):
```rust
let _ = vec![42]; // Error: requires `exchange_malloc` lang_item.
let _ = vec![42; 0]; // Error: cannot find function `from_elem`.
```
Thus those two rules should not be available to begin with.
The remaining one, with an empty matcher, is just a shorthand for
`new()` and may not make as much sense to have alone, since the
idea behind `vec!` is to enable `Vec`s to be defined with the same
syntax as array expressions. Furthermore, the documentation can be
confusing since it shows the other rules.
Thus perhaps it is better and simpler to disable `vec!` entirely
under `no_global_oom_handling` environments, and let users call
`new()` instead:
```rust
let _: Vec<i32> = vec![];
let _: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();
```
Notwithstanding this, a `try_vec!` macro would be useful, such as
the one introduced in #95051.
If the shorthand for `new()` is deemed worth keeping on its own,
then it may be interesting to have a separate `vec!` macro with
a single rule and different, simpler documentation.
