LIBC DEPRECATES LFS TYPES ON 64-BIT ANDROID AND EMSCRIPTEN

Android and Emscripten are cleaning up legacy file offset bindings that modern 64-bit ABIs no longer need.

The libc crate is deprecating LFS64 file offset types across two major platforms [1] [2]. On Android, the deprecation targets only 64-bit ABI architectures, leaving 32-bit targets unchanged [3]. Emscripten follows the same pattern, deprecating all LFS64 types and routines in line with upstream musl, with the exception of `blkcnt_t` which remains 32-bits wide regardless of target machine. These are annotation-only changes for now, part of a longer deprecation roadmap; developers using affected symbols will see warnings but face no immediate breaking changes. Meanwhile, cc-rs bumped its MSRV to 1.65 [4], enabling workspace lints and fixing pointer-cast patterns across the codebase [5]. Bootstrap refactors in rust-lang/rust continue to clean up LLVM build dependencies [6], and the main tree merged a Renovatebot configuration change to stop updating npm lockfiles [7]. Activity across all desks: 105 commits, 42 PRs over the last 24 hours.
