Make the definition of epoll_event use natural alignment on all
architectures except x86_64.
Before this commit, the struct was always 12 bytes big, which works okay
on x86 and x86_64 but not on ARM and MIPS, where it should be 16 bytes
big with the `data` field aligned on an 8 byte boundary.
I moved all documentation sources (guides, manuals, etc) to `src/doc` to free up `doc` as a build directory for all generated files.
At the same time, I also removed our usage of `VPATH` from the makefiles because it was wreaking havoc with doc deps and it's not very necessary now that we're primarily a rust project rather than having a good portion of C++/C inside of it.

This Pull Request aims to add backticks to all instances of code inside comments in snippets present in tutorial.md. It also includes backticks for filenames in the same conditions. See #11796 for motivation.
- renames `Default` to `Show`
- introduces some hidden `std::fmt::secret_...` functions, designed to work-around the lack of UFCS (with UFCS they can be replaced by referencing the trait methods directly) because I'm going to convert the traits to have methods rather than static functions, since `#[deriving]` works much better with true methods.
I'm blocked on a snapshot after this. (I could probably do a large number of `#[cfg]`s, but I can work on other things in the meantime.)
This removes @[] from the parser as well as much of the handling of it (and `@str`) from the compiler as I can find.
I've just rebased @pcwalton's (already reviewed) `@str` removal (and fixed the problems in a separate commit); the only new work is the trailing commits with my authorship.
Closes#11967
LLVM fails to properly optimize the shifts used to convert the source
value to the right endianess. The resulting assembly copies the value
to the stack one byte at a time even when there's no conversion required
(e.g. u64_to_le_bytes on a little endian machine).
Instead of doing the conversion ourselves using shifts, we can use the
existing intrinsics to perform the endianess conversion and then
transmute the value to get a fixed vector of its bytes.
