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.
Print out a clearer error message when a `for` gets
used with the wrong type of iterator. Also fix spans on `for` loop
bodies, and suppress some more derived errors.

Closes#3651
- 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.
r=pcwalton
Fixes#1896 which was never truly fixed, just masked.
The given tests would have failed had they used `~fn()` and
not `@fn()`. They now result in compilation errors.
Fixes#2978.
Necessary first step for #2202, #2263.
