Add flux tool, and flux specs to verify ring buffer implementation

Sync'd @enjhnsn2's latest changes here — I don't think we should block this on `cargo test`-like output; though I haven't cross-checked whether all of @alevy's concerns were addressed, which probably...

Enforce minimum compiler version and use now-standard [[nodiscard]] in favor of compiler attribute

Hah, and then our CI goes and shows me since it's pinned to GCC version 10.3 (while GCC is on 15.something...) — will updated CI in a separate PR in...

Enforce minimum compiler version and use now-standard [[nodiscard]] in favor of compiler attribute

_OH COME ON_. Okay, so, the chart is a lie, or sort of a lie. If we read the [GCC release notes for version 10](https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html#c), we learn > - The...

> security Do there exist bugs in older compilers which could theoretically lead to exploitable code? Yes, almost certainly, but actually exploiting those in practice feels nigh impossible. I think...

Enforce minimum compiler version and use now-standard [[nodiscard]] in favor of compiler attribute

I think ultimately there's a lot of 'nice-to-haves' from newer compilers, but nothing that we _need_ from newer compilers. If that changes, and there's really something that drives value, I...
