Remove the ParamSpace separation from formal and actual generics in rustc.
This is the first step towards enabling the typesystem implemented by `rustc` to be extended
(with generic modules, HKT associated types, generics over constants, etc.).
The current implementation splits all formal (`ty::Generics`) and actual (`Substs`) lifetime and type parameters (and even `where` clauses) into 3 "parameter spaces":
* `TypeSpace` for `enum`, `struct`, `trait` and `impl`
* `SelfSpace` for `Self` in a `trait`
* `FnSpace` for functions and methods
For example, in `<X as Trait<A, B>>::method::<T, U>`, the `Substs` are `[[A, B], [X], [T, U]]`.
The representation uses a single `Vec` with 2 indices where it's split into the 3 "parameter spaces".
Such a simplistic approach doesn't scale beyond the Rust 1.0 typesystem, and its existence was mainly motivated by keeping code manipulating generic parameters correct, across all possible situations.
Summary of changes:
* `ty::Generics` are uniformly stored and can be queried with `tcx.lookup_generics(def_id)`
* the `typeck::collect` changes for this resulted in a function to lazily compute the `ty::Generics` for a local node, given only its `DefId` - this can be further generalized to other kinds of type information
* `ty::Generics` and `ty::GenericPredicates` now contain only their own parameters (or `where` clauses, respectively), and refer to their "parent", forming a linked list
* right now most items have one level of nesting, only associated items and variants having two
* in the future, if `<X as mod1<A>::mod2<B>::mod3::Trait<C>>::Assoc<Y>` is supported, it would be represented by item with the path `mod1::mod2::mod3::Trait::Assoc`, and 4 levels of generics: `mod1` with `[A]`, `mod2` with `[B]`, `Trait` with `[X, C]` and `Assoc` with `[Y]`
* `Substs` gets two new APIs for working with arbitrary items:
* `Substs::for_item(def_id, mk_region, mk_type)` will construct `Substs` expected by the definition `def_id`, calling `mk_region` for lifetime parameters and `mk_type` for type parameters, and it's guaranteed to *always* return `Substs` compatible with `def_id`
* `substs.rebase_onto(from_base_def_id, to_base_substs)` can be used if `substs` is for an item nested within `from_base_def_id` (e.g. an associated item), to replace the "outer parameters" with `to_base_substs` - for example, you can translate a method's `Substs` between a `trait` and an `impl` (in both directions) if you have the `DefId` of one and `Substs` for the other
* trait objects, without a `Self` in their `Substs`, use *solely* `ExistentialTraitRef` now, letting `TraitRef` assume it *always* has a `Self` present
* both `TraitRef` and `ExistentialTraitRef` get methods which do operations on their `Substs` which are valid only for traits (or trait objects, respectively)
* `Substs` loses its "parameter spaces" distinction, with effectively no code creating `Substs` in an ad-hoc manner, or inspecting them, without knowing what shape they have already
Future plans:
* combine both lifetimes and types in a single `Vec<Kind<'tcx>>` where `Kind` would be a tagged pointer that can be `Ty<'tcx>`, `&'tcx ty::Region` or, in the future, potentially-polymorphic constants
* this would require some performance investigation, if it implies a lot of dynamic checks
* introduce an abstraction for `(T, Substs)`, where the `Substs` are even more hidden away from code
manipulating it; a precedent for this is `Instance` in trans, which has `T = DefId`; @nikomatsakis also referred to this, as "lazy substitution", when `T = Ty`
* rewrite type pretty-printing to fully take advantage of this to inject actual in the exact places of formal generic parameters in any paths
* extend the set of type-level information (e.g. beyond `ty::Generics`) that can be lazily queried during `typeck` and introduce a way to do those queries from code that can't refer to `typeck` directly
* this is almost unrelated but is necessary for DAG-shaped recursion between constant evaluation and type-level information, i.e. for implementing generics over constants

Implement `AsRef<[T]>` for `std::slice::Iter`.
`AsRef` is designed for conversions that are "cheap" (as per
the API docs). It is the case that retrieving the underlying
data of `std::slice::Iter` is cheap. In my opinion, there's no
ambiguity about what slice data will be returned, otherwise,
I would be more cautious about implementing `AsRef`.
Kicking off libproc_macro
This PR introduces `libproc_macro`, which is currently quite bare-bones (just a few macro construction tools and an initial `quote!` macro).
This PR also introduces a few test cases for it, and an additional `shim` file (at `src/libsyntax/ext/proc_macro_shim.rs` to allow a facsimile usage of Macros 2.0 *today*!
exclude `#![no_builtins]` crates from LTO
this prevents intrinsics like `memcpy` from being mis-optimized to
infinite recursive calls when LTO is used.

Implement the `!` type
This implements the never type (`!`) and hides it behind the feature gate `#[feature(never_type)]`. With the feature gate off, things should build as normal (although some error messages may be different). With the gate on, `!` is usable as a type and diverging type variables (ie. types that are unconstrained by anything in the code) will default to `!` instead of `()`.
Take commandline arguments into account for incr. comp.
Implements the conservative strategy described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33727.
From now one, every time a new commandline option is added, one has to specify if it influences the incremental compilation cache. I've tried to implement this as automatic as possible: One just has to added either the `[TRACKED]` or the `[UNTRACKED]` marker next to the field. The `Options`, `CodegenOptions`, and `DebuggingOptions` definitions in `session::config` show plenty of examples.
The PR removes some cruft from `session::config::Options`, mostly unnecessary copies of flags also present in `DebuggingOptions` or `CodeGenOptions` in the same struct.
One notable removal is the `cfg` field that contained the values passed via `--cfg` commandline arguments. I chose to remove it because (1) its content is only a subset of what later is stored in `hir::Crate::config` and it's pretty likely that reading the cfgs from `Options` would not be what you wanted, and (2) we could not incorporate it into the dep-tracking hash of the `Options` struct because of how the test framework works, leaving us with a piece of untracked but vital data.
It is now recommended (just as before) to access the crate config via the `krate()` method in the HIR map.
Because the `cfg` field is not present in the `Options` struct any more, some methods in the `CompilerCalls` trait now take the crate config as an explicit parameter -- which might constitute a breaking change for plugin authors.
add GNU make files for arm-unknown-linux-musleabi
For Yocto (Embedded Linux meta distro) Rust is provided via the [meta-rust layer](https://github.com/meta-rust/meta-rust). In this project there have been patches to add `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`. Rust recently acquired that support via #35060 but only for rustbuild. meta-rust is currently only able to build Rust support with the existing GNU Makefiles. This adds `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi` support to Rust for the GNU Makefiles until meta-rust is able to sort out why using rustbuild does not work for it.

[MIR] Add Storage{Live,Dead} statements to emit llvm.lifetime.{start,end}.
Storage live ranges are tracked for all MIR variables and temporaries with a drop scope.
`StorageLive` is lowered to `llvm.lifetime.start` and `StorageDead` to `llvm.lifetime.end`.
There are some improvements possible here, such as:
* pack multiple storage liveness statements by using the index of first local + `u64` bitset
* enforce that locals are not directly accessed outside their storage live range
* shrink storage live ranges for never-borrowed locals to initialization -> last use
* emit storage liveness statements for *all* temporaries
* however, the remaining ones are *always* SSA immediates, so they'd be noop in MIR trans
* could have a flag on the temporary that its storage is irrelevant (a la C's old `register`)
* would also deny borrows if necessary
* this seems like an overcompliation and with packing & optimizations it may be pointless
Even in the current state, it helps stage2 `rustc` compile `boiler` without overflowing (see #35408).
A later addition fixes#26764 and closes#27372 by emitting `.section` directives for dylib metadata to avoid them being allocated into memory or read as `.note`. For this PR, those bugs were tripping valgrind.
fix small typos in std::convert documentation
Fix subject-verb agreement in copypasta: "`AsRef` dereference" to
"`AsRef` dereferences".
Formalize "eg" to "e.g." Italicization of common Latin abbreviations
seems to be going out of style in written English, so I left it plain.
