std:*: Standard-library modules

The std:* namespace exposes modules that mirror the Rust standard library. Each module's public surface is shaped so a reader fluent in Rust's std::* recognises the methods, semantics, and error behaviour without explanation.

This namespace also contains a small number of modules that have no std:: equivalent but cover capabilities that scripts cannot reasonably do without — std:workers, the worker-pool substrate, is the principal example. New modules are added to std:* only when they are both broadly needed and cleanly mappable to a Rust standard concept.
