r? @withoutboats

(rust-highfive has picked a reviewer for you, use r? to override)

Thanks for the PR. I haven't been involved in the decisions to add any of the relevant methods for evaluating this one, so I want to consult with the rest of the libs teams on this. Specifically, I think we need to develop more policy around these questions:

1. What guidelines do we use to determine if its worthwhile to add a try_ variant of a higher order function?
2. What guidelines do we use to determine if its worthwhile to add iterator-like combinators directly to array?
3. This uses the Try bound, which I notice, so do the stable Iterator try methods; however, it necessarily also returns a Result, rather than R, because its not possible to return R, due to lack of HKT. Should we have the R parameter at all, or just limit this to Result? (fwiw I was somewhat surprised to discover the Iterator methods use a Try bound and I'd like some consensus around that even without this issue)

@rust-lang/libs

A few off-the-cuff musings,

1. I think it would make sense for there to be at least one "fallible constructor" kind of thing for arrays. Whether that's try_map, I don't know -- it could be Add 'core::array::from_fn' and 'core::array::try_from_fn' #75644 try_generate instead, or something else, or it might be fine to have both. It's straight-forward to do generate as <[(); N]>::map or map as generate-with-mutable-closure, so multiple doesn't seem strictly necessary.
2. A rule similar to whether to have them on Option seems plausible to me -- which I guess is only an argument for map, not for try_map. Hmm, try_map is similar to .map().transpose() on Option, so perhaps transpose: [Result<T, E>; N] -> Result<[T; N], E> could be argued for, but I guess that doesn't quite work the same as it has different short-circuiting.
3. I agree it would be undesirable for a closure producing Option<U>s to end up with a Result<[U; N], NoneError> from this method. Looks like the GAT need has come up on the Iterator::try_find tracking issue too, and something like that would be nice, but it's probably far off so only using Result would probably be better near-term.
