Rollup merge of #72303 - yoshuawuyts:future-poll-fn, r=dtolnay

Add core::future::{poll_fn, PollFn}

This is a sibling PR to #70834, adding `future::poll_fn`. This is a small helper function that helps bridge the gap between "poll state machines" and "async/await". It was first introduced in [futures@0.1.7](https://docs.rs/futures/0.1.7/futures/future/fn.poll_fn.html) in December of 2016, and has been tried and tested as part of the ecosystem for the past 3.5 years.

## Implementation

Much of the same reasoning from #70834 applies: by returning a concrete struct rather than an `async fn` we get to mark the future as `Unpin`. It also becomes named which allows storing it in structs without boxing. This implementation has been modified from the implementation in `futures-rs`.
