223d0397c0 Updating Carbon's safety strategy (#5914)
Carbon is accelerating and adjusting its safety strategy, specifically
to flesh out its memory safety strategy and reflect simplifying
developments in the safety space.

This proposal replaces the previous directional safety strategy with a
new concrete and updated framework for the safety design. It includes a
specific framework for memory safety, simplified build modes, specific
"safety modes", and terminology.

This proposal also provides a _directional_ suggestion for temporal and
data-race safety specifically.

In addition to fully building out the above directional component, there
are several other aspects of our safety design that will follow in
subsequent proposals. The hope is to establish the initial framework
here.
