Auto merge of #97437 - jyn514:impl-asrawfd-arc, r=dtolnay
`impl<T: AsRawFd> AsRawFd for {Arc,Box}<T>`
This allows implementing traits that require a raw FD on Arc and Box.
Previously, you'd have to add the function to the trait itself:
```rust
trait MyTrait {
fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd;
}
impl<T: MyTrait> MyTrait for Arc<T> {
fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd {
(**self).as_raw_fd()
}
}
```
In particular, this leads to lots of "multiple applicable items in scope" errors because you have to disambiguate `MyTrait::as_raw_fd` from `AsRawFd::as_raw_fd` at each call site. In generic contexts, when passing the type to a function that takes `impl AsRawFd` it's also sometimes required to use `T: MyTrait + AsRawFd`, which wouldn't be necessary if I could write `MyTrait: AsRawFd`.
After this PR, the code can be simpler:
```rust
trait MyTrait: AsRawFd {}
impl<T: MyTrait> MyTrait for Arc<T> {}
```
