rustbuild: Tweak where timing information goes
This commit tweaks where timing and step information is printed out as part of
the build, ensuring that we do it as close to the location where work happens as
possible. In rustbuild various functions may perform long blocking work as
dependencies are assembled, so if we print out timing information early on we
may accidentally time more than just the step we were intending to time!
Fix Issue #48345, is_file, is_dir, and is_symlink note mutual exclusion
The methods on the structures `fs::FileType` and `fs::Metadata` of (respectively) `is_file`, `is_dir`, and `is_symlink` had some ambiguity in documentation, where it was not noted whether files will pass those tests exclusively or not. It is now written that the tests are mutually exclusive.
Fixes#48345.
support elision in impl headers
You can now do things like:
```
impl MyTrait<'_> for &u32 { ... }
```
Each `'_` or elided lifetime is a fresh parameter. `'_` and elision are still not permitted in associated type values. (Plausibly we could support that if there is a single input lifetime.) The original lifetime elision RFC was a bit unclear on this point: [as documented here, I think this is the correct interpretation, both because it fits existing impls and it's most analogous to the behavior in fns](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15872#issuecomment-338700138).
We do not support elision with deprecated forms:
```
impl MyTrait for std::cell::Ref<u32> { } // ERROR
```
Builds on the in-band lifetime stuff.

Lower the priority of unstable methods when picking a candidate.
Previously, when searching for the impl of a method, we do not consider the stability of the impl. This leads to lots of insta-inference-regressions due to method ambiguity when a popular name is chosen. This has happened multiple times in Rust's history e.g.
* `f64::from_bits` #40470
* `Ord::{min, max}` #42496
* `Ord::clamp` #44095 (eventually got reverted due to these breakages)
* `Iterator::flatten` #48115 (recently added)
This PR changes the probing order so that unstable items are considered last. If a stable item is found, the unstable items will not be considered (but a future-incompatible warning will still be emitted), thus allowing stable code continue to function without using qualified names.
Once the unstable feature is stabilized, the ambiguity error will still be emitted, but the user can also use newly stable std methods, while the current situation is that downstream user is forced to update the code without any immediate benefit.
(I hope that we could bring back `Ord::clamp` if this PR is merged.)
Use the same RUSTFLAGS for building and testing `bootstrap`
This avoids recompiling the whole dependency graph twice for every `./x.py test` run.
Fixes#49215
Use GNU version of fgrep/egrep tool if available
It is mostly for BSD system. Some tests (run-make/issue-35164 and
run-make/cat-and-grep-sanity-check) are failing with BSD
fgrep, whereas they pass with gnu version (gfgrep).
