Description

This PR stabilizes a subset of the core_io feature, namely:

• core::io (the module)
• core::io::Error
• core::io::ErrorKind
• core::io::Result
• core::io::IoSlice
• core::io::IoSliceMut

To minimize churn, I've opted to mark the above as stable under a new feature, core_io_fundamentals, leaving the unstable parts under the existing core_io feature. This PR does not propose stabilization alloc_io, or re-exports of core::io in alloc::io. That will be proposed at a later date for ease of review. I will note that I plan on submitted a stabilization PR for alloc_io in its entirety in the future as context for reviewers here though.

CI failure caused by a doc(hidden) trait implementation not having a stability attribute becoming an error once the core::io module was marked stable. I'm not sure why it was ok before and not ok now, but I've added the relevant unstable attribute anyway.
