add docs for references as a primitive
Just like #43529 did for function pointers, here is a new primitive page for references.
This PR will pull in impls on references if it's a reference to a generic type parameter. Initially i was only able to pull in impls that were re-exported from another crate; crate-local impls got a different representation in the AST, and i had to change how types were resolved when cleaning it. (This is the change at the bottom of `librustdoc/clean/mod.rs`, in `resolve_type`.) I'm unsure the full ramifications of the change, but from what it looks like, it shouldn't impact anything major. Likewise, references to generic type parameters also get the `&'a [mut]` linked to the new page.
cc @rust-lang/docs: Is this sufficient information? The listing of trait impls kinda feels redundant (especially if we can get the automated impl listing sorted again), but i still think it's useful to point out that you can use these in a generic context.
Fixes#15654
rustdoc: print associated types in traits "implementors" section
When viewing a trait's implementors, they won't show anything about the implementation other than any bounds on the generics. You can see the full implementation details on the page for the type, but if the type is external (e.g. it's an extension trait being implemented for primitives), then you'll never be able to see the details of the implementation without opening the source code. This doesn't solve everything about that, but it does still show an incredibly useful piece of information: the associated types. This can help immensely for traits like `Deref` or `IntoIterator` in libstd, and also for traits like `IntoFuture` outside the standard library.
Fixes#24200🚨 BIKESHED ALERT 🚨 The indentation and sizing of the types is suspect. I put it in the small text so it wouldn't blend in with the next impl line. (It shares a CSS class with the where clauses, as you can see in the following image.) However, the indentation is nonstandard. I initially tried with no indentation (looked awkward and blended too well with the surrounding impls) and with 4-space indentation (too easy to confuse with where clauses), before settling on the 2-space indentation seen below. It's... okay, i guess. Open to suggestions.
rustdoc: add [src] links to associated functions inside an impl block
While impl blocks currently have a `[src]` link to show the source for the impl block as a whole, individual methods inside that impl block do not. This can pose a problem for structs with a lot of methods, like many in libstd. This change adds little `[src]` links to individual methods that point directly to the function in the bundled source.

Compile rustdoc on-demand
Fixes#43284, fixes#38318, and fixes#39505.
Doesn't directly help with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/42686, since we need to rebuild just as much. In fact, this hurts it, since `./x.py doc --stage 0` will now fail. I'm not sure if it did before, but with these changes it runs into the problem where we attempt to use artifacts from bootstrap rustc with a non-bootstrap rustdoc, running into version conflicts. I believe this is solvable, but leaving for a future PR.
This means that rustdoc will no longer be compiled when compiling rustc, by default. However, it is still built from `./x.py build` (for hosts, but not targets, since we don't produce compiler toolchains for them) and will be built for doc tests and crate tests.
After this, the recommended workflow if you want a rustdoc is: `./x.py build --stage 1 src/tools/rustdoc` which will give you a working rustdoc in `build/triple/stage1/bin/rustdoc`. Note that you can add `src/libstd` onto the command to compile libstd as well so that the rustdoc can easily compile crates in the wild. `./x.py doc --stage 1 src/libstd` will document `libstd` with a freshly built rustdoc (if necessary), and will not rebuild rustc on modifications to rustdoc.
r? @alexcrichton
The sidebar already has links to these h2's ids, but for convenience,
the h2 itself should also be a link (retaining its present appearance).
This should address most of #24484.
Previously, the union fields would all render on the same line with
hideous spacing; comparison to the analogous section for structs makes
it undoubtable that `display: block` is the true intent.
Concisely and definitively resolves#43404 and its perfidious
malignancy.
Prior to this PR, when we aborted because a "critical pass" failed, we
displayed the number of errors from that critical pass. While that's the
number of errors that caused compilation to abort in *that place*,
that's not what people really want to know. Instead, always report the
total number of errors, and don't bother to track the number of errors
from the last pass that failed.
This changes the compiler driver API to handle errors more smoothly,
and therefore is a compiler-api-[breaking-change].
Fixes#42793.
add `allow_fail` test attribute
This change allows the user to add an `#[allow_fail]` attribute to
tests that will cause the test to compile & run, but if the test fails
it will not cause the entire test run to fail. The test output will
show the failure, but in yellow instead of red, and also indicate that
it was an allowed failure.

* Make sure private consts are stripped.
* Don't show a code block for the value if there is none.
* Make sure default values are shown in impls.
* Make sure docs from the trait are used if the impl has no docs.
Replaced by adding extra imports, adding hidden code (`# ...`), modifying
examples to be runnable (sorry Homura), specifying non-Rust code, and
converting to should_panic, no_run, or compile_fail.
Remaining "```ignore"s received an explanation why they are being ignored.
This commit deletes the in-tree `getopts` crate in favor of the crates.io-based
`getopts` crate. The main difference here is with a new builder-style API, but
otherwise everything else remains relatively standard.
