I believe this patch incorporates all expected syntax changes from extern
function reform (#3678). You can now write things like:
extern "<abi>" fn foo(s: S) -> T { ... }
extern "<abi>" mod { ... }
extern "<abi>" fn(S) -> T
The ABI for foreign functions is taken from this syntax (rather than from an
annotation). We support the full ABI specification I described on the mailing
list. The correct ABI is chosen based on the target architecture.
Calls by pointer to C functions are not yet supported, and the Rust type of
crust fns is still *u8.
- Make `extern fn()` assignable to any closure type, rather than
a subtype.
- Remove unused int_ty_set and float_ty_set
- Refactor variable unification and make it more DRY
- Do fn sub/lub/glb on the level of fn_sig
- Rename infer::to_str::ToStr to infer::to_str::InferStr
- Capitalize names of various types
- Correct hashing of FnMeta
- Convert various records-of-fns into structs-of-fns. This is both
eliminating use of deprecated features and more forwards compatible
with fn reform.

This removes most explicit uses of the + argument mode. Pending a
snapshot, I had to remove the forbid(deprecated_modes) pragma from
a bunch of files. I'll put it back!
+ mode still has to be used in a few places for functions that get
moved (see task.rs)
The changes outside core and std are due to the to_bytes trait and
making the compiler (with legacy modes on) agree with the libraries
(with legacy modes off) about modes.
The fix in 208621 means you now can't shadow a class name with a local,
which is consistent with other behavior. But stackwalk was doing that.
Fixed it.
