This Pull Request enables support for `no_std` targets on some of our sub-crates. I intentionally left out `boa_ast` and `boa_cli` because they're the largest crates we have after `boa_engine`.
`boa_gc` is a monster on its own, because we'll need to design a `no_std` multithreaded GC.
Anyways, this changes the following:
- Adds support for `no_std` on `boa_unicode`.
- Adds support for `no_std` on `boa_profiler`.
- Adds support for `no_std` on `boa_interner`.
- Adds support for `no_std` on `boa_icu_provider`.
boa_profiler was allocating new strings every time even when they are the same string, which leads to a crash when `start_event` is called too much. This change updates the profiler to use a hash map cache and avoid duplicate string allocations.
This Pull Request fixes/closes #1180. (I'll open a tracking issue for the progress)
It changes the following:
- Redesigns the internal API of Intl to (hopefully!) make it easier to implement a service.
- Implements the `Intl.Locale` service.
- Implements the `Intl.Collator` service.
- Implements the `Intl.ListFormat` service.
On the subject of the failing tests. Some of them are caused by missing locale data in the `icu_testdata` crate; we would need to regenerate that with the missing locales, or vendor a custom default data.
On the other hand, there are some tests that are bugs from the ICU4X crate. The repo https://github.com/jedel1043/icu4x-test262 currently tracks the found bugs when running test262. I'll sync with the ICU4X team to try to fix those.

Submitting this as a draft for feedback/second opinions. This draft contains some changes to the documentation.
Quick Overview:
- Potential `Boa` header for Boa's crates added to `boa_engine`.
- Changes the wording to a lot of module headers (See `builtins` module and `object/builtins` module).
- Updating built-in wrapper's code examples to use `?` operator.
- Adds the doc logo URL to a few crates that didn't have it.
The main idea of this draft is to move away from the "This module implements" wording as it feels a bit duplicative when listed under the Modules section (mainly focusing around changes in `boa_engine` to start).
While working on this, I had a question about whether we should be using JavaScript or ECMAScript in the Boa's documentation. We do seem to currently use both, and this draft uses JavaScript heavily in the wording.
This Pull Request restructures the lint deny/warn/allow lists in almost all crates. `boa_engine` will be done in a follow up PR as the changes there are pretty extensive.
