This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard
library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some
spring cleaning of the deprecated functions.
This commit stabilizes a few remaining bits of the `io::Error` type:
* The `Error::new` method is now stable. The last `detail` parameter was removed
and the second `desc` parameter was generalized to `E: Into<Box<Error>>` to
allow creating an I/O error from any form of error. Currently there is no form
of downcasting, but this will be added in time.
* An implementation of `From<&str> for Box<Error>` was added to liballoc to
allow construction of errors from raw strings.
* The `Error::raw_os_error` method was stabilized as-is.
* Trait impls for `Clone`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq` were removed from `Error` as it
is not possible to use them with trait objects.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of the `new` method as well as
the removal of the trait implementations for the `Error` type.

This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
This commit stabilizes the `ErrorKind` enumeration which is consumed by and
generated by the `io::Error` type. The purpose of this type is to serve as a
cross-platform namespace to categorize errors into. Two specific issues are
addressed as part of this stablization:
* The naming of each variant was scrutinized and some were tweaked. An example
is how `FileNotFound` was renamed to simply `NotFound`. These names should not
show either a Unix or Windows bias and the set of names is intended to grow
over time. For now the names will likely largely consist of those errors
generated by the I/O APIs in the standard library.
* The mapping of OS error codes onto kinds has been altered. Coalescing no
longer occurs (multiple error codes become one kind). It is intended that each
OS error code, if bound, corresponds to only one `ErrorKind`. The current set
of error kinds was expanded slightly to include some networking errors.
This commit also adds a `raw_os_error` function which returns an `Option<i32>`
to extract the underlying raw error code from the `Error`.
This commit performs a stabilization pass over the `std::fs` module now that
it's had some time to bake. The change was largely just adding `#[stable]` tags,
but there are a few APIs that remain `#[unstable]`.
The following apis are now marked `#[stable]`:
* `std::fs` (the name)
* `File`
* `Metadata`
* `ReadDir`
* `DirEntry`
* `OpenOptions`
* `Permissions`
* `File::{open, create}`
* `File::{sync_all, sync_data}`
* `File::set_len`
* `File::metadata`
* Trait implementations for `File` and `&File`
* `OpenOptions::new`
* `OpenOptions::{read, write, append, truncate, create}`
* `OpenOptions::open` - this function was modified, however, to not attempt to
reject cross-platform openings of directories. This means that some platforms
will succeed in opening a directory and others will fail.
* `Metadata::{is_dir, is_file, len, permissions}`
* `Permissions::{readonly, set_readonly}`
* `Iterator for ReadDir`
* `DirEntry::path`
* `remove_file` - like with `OpenOptions::open`, the extra windows code to
remove a readonly file has been removed. This means that removing a readonly
file will succeed on some platforms but fail on others.
* `metadata`
* `rename`
* `copy`
* `hard_link`
* `soft_link`
* `read_link`
* `create_dir`
* `create_dir_all`
* `remove_dir`
* `remove_dir_all`
* `read_dir`
The following apis remain `#[unstable]`.
* `WalkDir` and `walk` - there are many methods by which a directory walk can be
constructed, and it's unclear whether the current semantics are the right
ones. For example symlinks are not handled super well currently. This is now
behind a new `fs_walk` feature.
* `File::path` - this is an extra abstraction which the standard library
provides on top of what the system offers and it's unclear whether we should
be doing so. This is now behind a new `file_path` feature.
* `Metadata::{accessed, modified}` - we do not currently have a good
abstraction for a moment in time which is what these APIs should likely be
returning, so these remain `#[unstable]` for now. These are now behind a new
`fs_time` feature
* `set_file_times` - like with `Metadata::accessed`, we do not currently have
the appropriate abstraction for the arguments here so this API remains
unstable behind the `fs_time` feature gate.
* `PathExt` - the precise set of methods on this trait may change over time and
some methods may be removed. This API remains unstable behind the `path_ext`
feature gate.
* `set_permissions` - we may wish to expose a more granular ability to set the
permissions on a file instead of just a blanket "set all permissions" method.
This function remains behind the `fs` feature.
The following apis are now `#[deprecated]`
* The `TempDir` type is now entirely deprecated and is [located on
crates.io][tempdir] as the `tempdir` crate with [its source][github] at
rust-lang/tempdir.

The stability of some of these APIs has been questioned over the past few weeks
in using these APIs, and it is intentional that the majority of APIs here are
marked `#[stable]`. The `std::fs` module has a lot of room to grow and the
material is [being tracked in a RFC issue][rfc-issue].
