"non-mechanical" : there was lots more hacking than the other more-mechanical ports Felix did.
r? @huonw. (Or @nikomatsakis ; I just want someone to sanity-check this. Its not a thing of beauty.)
Followup to #8623. (See #8527, which was step 1 of 5, for the full outline. Part of #7081.)
Notes on the change follow.
There's also a strange pattern that I hacked in to accommodate the
Outer/Inner traversal structure of the existing code (which was
previously encoding this by untying the Y-combinator style knot of the
vtable, and then retying it but superimposing new methods that "stop
at items"). I hope either I or someone else can come back in the
future and replace this ugliness with something more natural.
Added boilerplate macro; all the OuterLint definitions are the same
(but must be abstracted over implementing struct, thus the macro).
Revised lint.rs use declarations to make ast references explicit.
Also removed unused imports.

* This has one workaround patch (everything's testing just fine...)
* I reworked the fixedstacksegment attribute to be specified with a string
rather than using a keyword and an integer and modifying the parser
* I added a "no-split-stack" attribute along the same lines as the
"fixedstacksegment" attribute for #1226
r? @brson This necessitated some cleanup to how we parse library filenames
when searching for libraries, since rustpkg may now create filenames
that contain '-' characters. Also cleaned up how rustpkg passes the
sysroot to a custom build script.
Each IO handle has a home event loop, which created it.
When a task wants to use an IO handle, it must first make sure it is on that home event loop.
It uses the scheduler handle in the IO handle to send itself there before starting the IO action.
Once the IO action completes, the task restores its previous home state.
If it is an AnySched task, then it will be executed on the new scheduler.
If it has a normal home, then it will return there before executing any more code after the IO action.

Given that bootstrapping and running the testsuite works without
exporting discriminant values as global constants, I conclude that
they're unused and can be removed.
This requires changes to method search and to codegen. We now emit a
vtable for objects that includes methods from all supertraits.
Closes#4100.
Also, actually populate the cache for vtables, and also key it by type
so that it actually works.
Long-standing branch to remove foreign function wrappers altogether. Calls to C functions are done "in place" with no stack manipulation; the scheme relies entirely on the correct use of `#[fixed_stack_segment]` to guarantee adequate stack space. A linter is added to detect when `#[fixed_stack_segment]` annotations are missing. An `externfn!` macro is added to make it easier to declare foreign fns and wrappers in one go: this macro may need some refinement, though, for example it might be good to be able to declare a group of foreign fns. I leave that for future work (hopefully somebody else's work :) ).
Fixes#3678.
Let CharIterator be a separate type from CharOffsetIterator (so that
CharIterator can be cloned, for example).
Implement CharOffsetIterator by using the same technique as the method
subslice_offset.
Add a function like raw::slice_bytes, but it doesn't check slice
boundaries. For iterator use where we always know the begin, end indices
are in range.
