- The signature of the `*_equiv` methods of `HashMap` and similar structures
have changed, and now require one less level of indirection. Change your code
from:
```
hashmap.find_equiv(&"Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
to:
```
hashmap.find_equiv("Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
- The generic parameter `T` of the `Hasher::hash<T>` method have become
`Sized?`. Downstream code must add `Sized?` to that method in their
implementations. For example:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
}
```
must be changed to:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<Sized? T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
// ^^^^^^
}
```

This PR changes the signature of several methods from `foo(self, ...)` to
`foo(&self, ...)`/`foo(&mut self, ...)`, but there is no breakage of the usage
of these methods due to the autoref nature of `method.call()`s. This PR also
removes the lifetime parameter from some traits (`Trait<'a>` -> `Trait`). These
changes break any use of the extension traits for generic programming, but
those traits are not meant to be used for generic programming in the first
place. In the whole rust distribution there was only one misuse of a extension
trait as a bound, which got corrected (the bound was unnecessary and got
removed) as part of this PR.

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.

This commit is another in the series of vector slice API
stabilization. The focus here is the *mutable* slice API.
Largely, this API inherits the stability attributes [previously
assigned](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/16332) to the analogous
methods on immutable slides. It also adds comments to a few `unstable`
attributes that were previously missing them.
In addition, the commit adds several `_mut` variants of APIs that were
missing:
- `init_mut`
- `head_mut`
- `tail_mut`
- `splitn_mut`
- `rsplitn_mut`
Some of the unsafe APIs -- `unsafe_set`, `init_elem`, and `copy_memory`
-- were deprecated in favor of working through `as_mut_ptr`, to simplify
the API surface.
Due to deprecations, this is a:

1. The internal layout for traits has changed from (vtable, data) to (data, vtable). If you were relying on this in unsafe transmutes, you might get some very weird and apparently unrelated errors. You should not be doing this! Prefer not to do this at all, but if you must, you should use raw::TraitObject rather than hardcoding rustc's internal representation into your code.
2. The minimal type of reference-to-vec-literals (e.g., `&[1, 2, 3]`) is now a fixed size vec (e.g., `&[int, ..3]`) where it used to be an unsized vec (e.g., `&[int]`). If you want the unszied type, you must explicitly give the type (e.g., `let x: &[_] = &[1, 2, 3]`). Note in particular where multiple blocks must have the same type (e.g., if and else clauses, vec elements), the compiler will not coerce to the unsized type without a hint. E.g., `[&[1], &[1, 2]]` used to be a valid expression of type '[&[int]]'. It no longer type checks since the first element now has type `&[int, ..1]` and the second has type &[int, ..2]` which are incompatible.
3. The type of blocks (including functions) must be coercible to the expected type (used to be a subtype). Mostly this makes things more flexible and not less (in particular, in the case of coercing function bodies to the return type). However, in some rare cases, this is less flexible. TBH, I'm not exactly sure of the exact effects. I think the change causes us to resolve inferred type variables slightly earlier which might make us slightly more restrictive. Possibly it only affects blocks with unreachable code. E.g., `if ... { fail!(); "Hello" }` used to type check, it no longer does. The fix is to add a semicolon after the string.
These are like the existing bsearch methods but if the search fails,
it returns the next insertion point.
The new `binary_search` returns a `BinarySearchResult` that is either
`Found` or `NotFound`. For convenience, the `found` and `not_found`
methods convert to `Option`, ala `Result`.
Deprecate bsearch and bsearch_elem.
This required some contortions because importing both raw::Slice
and slice::Slice makes rustc crash.
Since `Slice` is in the prelude, this renaming is unlikely to
casue breakage.

ImmutableVector -> ImmutableSlice
ImmutableEqVector -> ImmutableEqSlice
ImmutableOrdVector -> ImmutableOrdSlice
MutableVector -> MutableSlice
MutableVectorAllocating -> MutableSliceAllocating
MutableCloneableVector -> MutableCloneableSlice
MutableOrdVector -> MutableOrdSlice
These are all in the prelude so most code will not break.
