This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

This patch adds a `Debug` impl for `std::fs::File`.
On all platforms (Unix and Windows) it shows the file descriptor.
On Linux, it displays the path and access mode as well.
Ideally we should show the path/mode for all platforms, not just Linux,
but this will do for now.

Many unsafe features are now in the unstable section, so this section is
really just about raw pointers now. That also makes sense for its place
in the TOC.
This addresses part of #12905.
Without the `box` keyword, one of these two reasons is not correct, so
let's just eliminate this section and elaborate on the reason for the
legit use case inline.

These docs could all use examples, so for now, let's just remove the bad one, and when I go over this whole module I'll put in better ones.
When `liballoc` is compiled with `--cfg feature=\"external_features\"`, several `improper_ctypes` warnings are generated. Since these warnings are harmless, I have added a directive to suppress them.
