This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019
[breaking-change]
Change `for` desugaring & make refutable pattern errors more precise
This changes for to desugar to the `let`-based pattern match as described in #14390, and adjusts the compiler to use this information for error messages that even mention that it's in a `for` loop.
Also, it makes the compiler record the exact positions of refutable parts of a pattern, to point to exactly them in error messages.
This ensures that a public typedef to a private item is ensured to be public in
terms of linkage. This affects both the visibility of the library's symbols as
well as other lints based on privacy (dead_code for example).

messages when the pattern is refutable.
This means the compiler points directly to the pattern and said that the
problem is the pattern being refutable (rather than just saying that
some value isn't covered in the `match` as it did previously).
Fixes#14390.
There's a fair number of attributes that have to be whitelisted since
they're either looked for by rustdoc, in trans, or as needed. These can
be cleaned up in the future.
We can now mark arguments and returns as `nonnull` in LLVM. It's still somewhat limited by the fact that LLVM loses this information after inlining but it might help in certain cases.
All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
It can be easy to accidentally bloat the size of an enum by making one variant
larger than the others. When this happens, it usually goes unnoticed. This
commit adds a lint that can warn when the largest variant in an enum is more
than 3 times larger than the second-largest variant. This requires a little
bit of rejiggering, because size information is only available in trans, but
lint levels are only available in the lint context.
It is allow by default because it's pretty noisy, and isn't really *that*
undesirable.
Closes#10362
The span on a inner doc-comment would point to the next token, e.g. the span for the `a` line points to the `b` line, and the span of `b` points to the `fn`.
```rust
//! a
//! b
fn bar() {}
```
