This mostly brings them in line with existing linking convention, but
also has some minor re-wording.
The text at the top has been re-focused, by starting out with what the
prelude does, rather than starting from injecting std.
Also, it now mentions that other preludes exist.

Yet another attempt to make the prose on the std crate page
clearer and more informative.
This does a lot of things: tightens up the opening, adds useful links
(including a link to the search bar), offers guidance on how to use
the docs, and expands the prelude docs as a useful newbie entrypoint.
Attempted to organize them in a way more relevant to what newbies
would be interested in hearing.
I am not satisfied by this at all, but by virtue of deleting old links alone I think it is an improvement.

An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
This is an implementation of [RFC 1030][rfc] which adds these traits to the
prelude and additionally removes all inherent `into_iter` methods on collections
in favor of the trait implementation (which is now accessible by default).
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1030
This is technically a breaking change due to the prelude additions and removal
of inherent methods, but it is expected that essentially no code breaks in
practice.

Closes#24538
This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.

This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.
Closes#22751Closes#14433

This commit removes the reexports of `old_io` traits as well as `old_path` types
and traits from the prelude. This functionality is now all deprecated and needs
to be removed to make way for other functionality like `Seek` in the `std::io`
module (currently reexported as `NewSeek` in the io prelude).
Closes#23377Closes#23378
This commit deprecates the `count`, `range` and `range_step` functions
in `iter`, in favor of range notation. To recover all existing
functionality, a new `step_by` adapter is provided directly on `ops::Range`
and `ops::RangeFrom`.

Many of the core rust libraries have places that rely on integer
wrapping behaviour. These places have been altered to use the wrapping_*
methods:
* core:#️⃣:sip - A number of macros
* core::str - The `maximal_suffix` method in `TwoWaySearcher`
* rustc::util::nodemap - Implementation of FnvHash
* rustc_back::sha2 - A number of macros and other places
* rand::isaac - Isaac64Rng, changed to use the Wrapping helper type
Some places had "benign" underflow. This is when underflow or overflow
occurs, but the unspecified value is not used due to other conditions.
* collections::bit::Bitv - underflow when `self.nbits` is zero.
* collections:#️⃣:{map,table} - Underflow when searching an empty
table. Did cause undefined behaviour in this case due to an
out-of-bounds ptr::offset based on the underflowed index. However the
resulting pointers would never be read from.
* syntax::ext::deriving::encodable - Underflow when calculating the
index of the last field in a variant with no fields.
These cases were altered to avoid the underflow, often by moving the
underflowing operation to a place where underflow could not happen.
There was one case that relied on the fact that unsigned arithmetic and
two's complement arithmetic are identical with wrapping semantics. This
was changed to use the wrapping_* methods.
Finally, the calculation of variant discriminants could overflow if the
preceeding discriminant was `U64_MAX`. The logic in `rustc::middle::ty`
for this was altered to avoid the overflow completely, while the
remaining places were changed to use wrapping methods. This is because
`rustc::middle::ty::enum_variants` now throws an error when the
calculated discriminant value overflows a `u64`.
This behaviour can be triggered by the following code:
```
enum Foo {
A = U64_MAX,
B
}
```
This commit also implements the remaining integer operators for
Wrapped<T>.
As part of [RFC 474](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/474), this
commit renames `std::path` to `std::old_path`, leaving the existing path
API in place to ease migration to the new one. Updating should be as
simple as adjusting imports, and the prelude still maps to the old path
APIs for now.
[breaking-change]
This "reexports" all the functionality of `core::char::CharExt` as
methods on `unicode::u_char::UnicodeChar` (renamed to `CharExt`).
Imports may need to be updated (one now just imports
`unicode::CharExt`, or `std::char::CharExt` rather than two traits from
either), so this is a
[breaking-change]
