According to [RFC 344][], methods that return `&[u8]` should have names
ending in `bytes`. Though `include_bin!` is a macro not a method, it
seems reasonable to follow the convention anyway.
We keep the old name around for now, but trigger a deprecation warning
when it is used.

This is an implementation of the rustc bits of [RFC 403][rfc]. This adds a new
flag to the compiler, `-l`, as well as tweaking the `include!` macro (and
related source-centric macros).
The compiler's new `-l` flag is used to link libraries in from the command line.
This flag stacks with `#[link]` directives already found in the program. The
purpose of this flag, also stated in the RFC, is to ease linking against native
libraries which have wildly different requirements across platforms and even
within distributions of one platform. This flag accepts a string of the form
`NAME[:KIND]` where `KIND` is optional or one of dylib, static, or framework.
This is roughly equivalent to if the equivalent `#[link]` directive were just
written in the program.
The `include!` macro has been modified to recursively expand macros to allow
usage of `concat!` as an argument, for example. The use case spelled out in RFC
403 was for `env!` to be used as well to include compile-time generated files.
The macro also received a bit of tweaking to allow it to expand to either an
expression or a series of items, depending on what context it's used in.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/403
This is an implementation of RFC 16. A module can now only be loaded if the
module declaring `mod name;` "owns" the current directory. A module is
considered as owning its directory if it meets one of the following criteria:
* It is the top-level crate file
* It is a `mod.rs` file
* It was loaded via `#[path]`
* It was loaded via `include!`
* The module was declared via an inline `mod foo { ... }` statement
For example, this directory structure is now invalid
// lib.rs
mod foo;
// foo.rs
mod bar;
// bar.rs;
fn bar() {}
With this change `foo.rs` must be renamed to `foo/mod.rs`, and `bar.rs` must be
renamed to `foo/bar.rs`. This makes it clear that `bar` is a submodule of `foo`,
and can only be accessed through `foo`.

[breaking-change]
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

There's now one unified way to return things from a macro, instead of
being able to choose the `AnyMacro` trait or the `MRItem`/`MRExpr`
variants of the `MacResult` enum. This does simplify the logic handling
the expansions, but the biggest value of this is it makes macros in (for
example) type position easier to implement, as there's this single thing
to modify.
By my measurements (using `-Z time-passes` on libstd and librustc etc.),
this appears to have little-to-no impact on expansion speed. There are
presumably larger costs than the small number of extra allocations and
virtual calls this adds (notably, all `macro_rules!`-defined macros have
not changed in behaviour, since they had to use the `AnyMacro` trait
anyway).
Closes#11692. Instead of returning the original expression, a dummy expression
(with identical span) is returned. This prevents infinite loops of failed
expansions as well as odd double error messages in certain situations.
This means that compilation continues for longer, and so we can see more
errors per compile. This is mildly more user-friendly because it stops
users having to run rustc n times to see n macro errors: just run it
once to see all of them.
This reverts commit c54427ddfbbab41a39d14f2b1dc4f080cbc2d41b.
Leave the #[ignores] in that were added to rustpkg tests.

This adds bindings to the remaining functions provided by libuv, all of which
are useful operations on files which need to get exposed somehow.
Some highlights:
* Dropped `FileReader` and `FileWriter` and `FileStream` for one `File` type
* Moved all file-related methods to be static methods under `File`
* All directory related methods are still top-level functions
* Created `io::FilePermission` types (backed by u32) that are what you'd expect
* Created `io::FileType` and refactored `FileStat` to use FileType and
FilePermission
* Removed the expanding matrix of `FileMode` operations. The mode of reading a
file will not have the O_CREAT flag, but a write mode will always have the
O_CREAT flag.
