We have the technology: no longer do you need to write closures to use `format_args!`.
This is a `[breaking-change]`, as it forces you to clean up old hacks - if you had code like this:
```rust
format_args!(fmt::format, "{} {} {}", a, b, c)
format_args!(|args| { w.write_fmt(args) }, "{} {} {}", x, y, z)
```
change it to this:
```rust
fmt::format(format_args!("{} {} {}", a, b, c))
w.write_fmt(format_args!("{} {} {}", x, y, z))
```
To allow them to be called with `format_args!(...)` directly, several functions were modified to
take `fmt::Arguments` by value instead of by reference. Also, `fmt::Arguments` derives `Copy`
now in order to preserve all usecases that were previously possible.
Implements [RFC 486](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/486). Fixes#19908.
* Rename `to_ascii_{lower,upper}` to `to_ascii_{lower,upper}case`, per #14401
* Remove the `Ascii` type and associated traits: `AsciiCast`, `OwnedAsciiCast`, `AsciiStr`, `IntoBytes`, and `IntoString`.
* As a replacement, add `.is_ascii()` to `AsciiExt`, and implement `AsciiExt` for `u8` and `char`.

Currently whenever we encounter `let f = || {/* */}`, we *always* type check the RHS as a *boxed* closure. This is wrong when the RHS is `move || {/* */}` (because boxed closures can't capture by value) and generates all sort of badness during trans (see issues above). What we *should* do is always type check `move || {/* */}` as an *unboxed* closure, but ~~I *think* (haven't tried)~~ (2) this is not feasible right now because we have a limited form of kind (`Fn` vs `FnMut` vs `FnOnce`) inference that only works when there is an expected type (1).
In this PR, I've chosen to generate a type error whenever `let f = move || {/* */}` is encountered. The error asks the user to annotate the kind of the unboxed closure (e.g. `move |:| {/* */}`). Once annotated, the compiler will type check the RHS as an unboxed closure which is what the user wants.

(1) AIUI it only triggers in this scenario:
``` rust
fn is_uc<F>(_: F) where F: FnOnce() {}
fn main() {
is_uc(|| {}); // type checked as unboxed closure with kind `FnOnce`
}
```
(2) I checked, and it's not possible because `check_unboxed_closure` expects a `kind` argument, but we can't supply that argument in this case (i.e. `let f = || {}`, what's the kind?). We could force the `FnOnce` kind in that case, but that's ad hoc. We should try to infer the kind depending on how the closure is used afterwards, but there is no inference mechanism to do that (at least, not right now).
More work on opt-in built in traits. `Send` and `Sync` are not opt-in, `OwnedPtr` renamed to `UniquePtr` and the `Send` and `Sync` traits are now unsafe.
NOTE: This likely needs to be rebased on top of the yet-to-land snapshot.

Various refactorings simplifying the mem-categorization and regionck interface. This is working towards an improvement for closure-and-upvar-mode inference.

There is also some work here to make resolve a bit more stable - it no longer overwrites a specific import with a glob import.
[breaking-change]
Import shadowing of single/list imports by globs is now forbidden. An interesting case is where a glob import imports a re-export (`pub use`) of a single import. This still counts as a single import for the purposes of shadowing .You can usually fix any bustage by re-ordering such imports. A single import may still shadow (override) a glob import or the prelude.
