Refactored code so that the drop-flag values for initialized
(`DTOR_NEEDED`) versus dropped (`DTOR_DONE`) are given explicit names.
Add `mem::dropped()` (which with `DTOR_DONE == 0` is semantically the
same as `mem::zeroed`, but the point is that it abstracts away from
the particular choice of value for `DTOR_DONE`).
Filling-drop needs to use something other than `ptr::read_and_zero`,
so I added such a function: `ptr::read_and_drop`. But, libraries
should not use it if they can otherwise avoid it.
Fixes to tests to accommodate filling-drop.
This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.

* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Specifically, the following actions were taken:
* The `copy_memory` and `copy_nonoverlapping_memory` functions
to drop the `_memory` suffix (as it's implied by the functionality). Both
functions are now marked as `#[stable]`.
* The `set_memory` function was renamed to `write_bytes` and is now stable.
* The `zero_memory` function is now deprecated in favor of `write_bytes`
directly.
* The `Unique` pointer type is now behind its own feature gate called `unique`
to facilitate future stabilization.
* All type parameters now are `T: ?Sized` wherever possible and new clauses were
added to the `offset` functions to require that the type is sized.

This commit takes a second pass through the `std::mem` module for stabilization.
The only remaining non-stable items in this module were `forget`, `transmute`,
`copy_lifetime`, and `copy_lifetime_mut`.
The `forget` and `transmute` intrinsics themselves were marked `#[stable]` to
propgate into the `core::mem` module so they would be marked stable.
The `copy_lifetime` functions were left `unstable`, but `Sized?` annotations
were added to the parameters to allow more general use with DSTs.
The `size_of_val`, `min_align_of_val`, and `align_of_val` functions would like
to grow `Sized?` bounds, but this is a backwards compatible change that
currently ICEs the compiler, so this change was not made at this time.
Finally, the module itself was declared `#![stable]` in this pass.
Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.

Libcore's test infrastructure is complicated by the fact that many lang
items are defined in the crate. The current approach (realcore/realstd
imports) is hacky and hard to work with (tests inside of core::cmp
haven't been run for months!).
Moving tests to a separate crate does mean that they can only test the
public API of libcore, but I don't feel that that is too much of an
issue. The only tests that I had to get rid of were some checking the
various numeric formatters, but those are also exercised through normal
format! calls in other tests.
floating point numbers for real.
This will break code that looks like:
let mut x = 0;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Change that code to:
let mut x = 0i;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Closes#15201.

This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

The aim of these changes is not working out a generic bi-endianness architectures support but to allow people develop for little endian MIPS machines (issue #7190).
only known post-monomorphization, and report `transmute` errors before
the code is generated for that `transmute`.
This can break code that looked like:
unsafe fn f<T>(x: T) {
let y: int = transmute(x);
}
Change such code to take a type parameter that has the same size as the
type being transmuted to.
Closes#12898.

* null and mut_null are unstable. Their names may change if the unsafe
pointer types change.
* copy_memory and copy_overlapping_memory are unstable. We think they
aren't going to change.
* set_memory and zero_memory are experimental. Both the names and
the semantics are under question.
* swap and replace are unstable and probably won't change.
* read is unstable, probably won't change
* read_and_zero is experimental. It's necessity is in doubt.
* mem::overwrite is now called ptr::write to match read and is
unstable. mem::overwrite is now deprecated
* array_each, array_each_with_len, buf_len, and position are
all deprecated because they use old style iteration and their
utility is generally under question.
* All of the *_val functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The overwrite and zeroed functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The uninit function is now deprecated, replaced by its stable counterpart,
uninitialized

Excluding the functions inherited from the cast module last week (with marked
stability levels), these functions received the following treatment.
* size_of - this method has become #[stable]
* nonzero_size_of/nonzero_size_of_val - these methods have been removed
* min_align_of - this method is now #[stable]
* pref_align_of - this method has been renamed without the
`pref_` prefix, and it is the "default alignment" now. This decision is in line
with what clang does (see url linked in comment on function). This function
is now #[stable].
* init - renamed to zeroed and marked #[stable]
* uninit - marked #[stable]
* move_val_init - renamed to overwrite and marked #[stable]
* {from,to}_{be,le}{16,32,64} - all functions marked #[stable]
* swap/replace/drop - marked #[stable]
* size_of_val/min_align_of_val/align_of_val - these functions are marked
#[unstable], but will continue to exist in some form. Concerns have been
raised about their `_val` prefix.

The compiler was updated to recognize that implementations for ty_uniq(..) are
allowed if the Box lang item is located in the current crate. This enforces the
idea that libcore cannot allocated, and moves all related trait implementations
from libcore to libstd.
This is a breaking change in that the AnyOwnExt trait has moved from the any
module to the owned module. Any previous users of std::any::AnyOwnExt should now
use std::owned::AnyOwnExt instead. This was done because the trait is intended
for Box traits and only Box traits.
