Attempted to organize them in a way more relevant to what newbies
would be interested in hearing.
I am not satisfied by this at all, but by virtue of deleting old links alone I think it is an improvement.

I did a read through of the manual. This commit corrects various small points and expands some sections, while avoiding too much detail.

At the moment, http://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html isn't linked to from anywhere (except Reddit). This should allow search engines to find error codes!
I also capitalised "The Standard Library" and neatened a few bits of grammar.
Also fixed: `#[main]` inside one of the error descriptions.
Add diagnostic message for E0317, E0154, E0259 and E0260; part of #24407.
About E0317, I was unsure if I should add an example of what could be wrong, such as `struct i64`, `enum char { A, B }` or `type isize = i64`. I decided against it, since the diagnostic message looks clear enough to me.
What do you think?
I corrected some pretty obvious textual mistakes. One thing requires more attention - the paragraph at line 133 in Ownership. It was confusing, so I changed it, but I am no sure if this is what the author had in mind.
core::slice was originally written to tolerate overflow (notably, with
slices of zero-sized elements), but it was never updated to use wrapping
arithmetic when overflow traps were added.
Also correctly handle the case of calling .nth() on an Iter with a
zero-sized element type. The iterator was assuming that the pointer
value of the returned reference was meaningful, but that's not true for
zero-sized elements.
Fixes#25016.
It is currently broken to use syntax such as `<T as Foo>::U::static_method()` where `<T as Foo>::U` is an associated type. I was able to fix this and simplify the parser a bit at the same time.
This also fixes the corresponding issue with associated types (#22139), but that's somewhat irrelevant because #22519 is still open, so this syntax still causes an error in type checking.
Similarly, although this fix applies to associated consts, #25046 forbids associated constants from using type parameters or `Self`, while #19559 means that associated types have to always have one of those two. Therefore, I think that you can't use an associated const from an associated type anyway.
The loop to load all the known impls from external crates seems to have been used because `ty::populate_implementations_for_trait_if_necessary` wasn't doing its job, and solely relying on it resulted in loading only impls in the same crate as the trait.
Coherence for `librustc` was reduced from 18.310s to 0.610s, from stage1 to stage2.
Interestingly, type checking also went from 46.232s to 42.003s, though that could be noise or unrelated improvements.
On a smaller scale, `fn main() {}` now spends 0.003s in coherence instead of 0.368s, which fixes#22068.
It also peaks at only 1.2MB, instead of 16MB of heap usage.
A few errors slipped through my filter. Markdown formatting is especially important now that http://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html is live!
Speaking of, the error index should probably be linked to from somewhere. It doesn't quite fit under any of the sections in the index, but I could create a new one for it? Or add it under "tools" despite it not exactly being an executable tool.
The functions BitSet::{iter,union,symmetric_difference} each had docs that claimed u32s were output when their actual output each end up being usizes.

- E0249
- E0250
This PR also adds some comments to the error codes in `librustc_typeck/diagnostics.rs`.
cc #24407
They're only enabled in debug builds, but a panic is usually more
welcome than UB in debug builds.

Rustdoc fixes for associated items
This is related to isssue #22442 and solves it partly.
This solves the search index links of associated types and constants,
so that they link to the trait page.
Also add an Associated Constants section if constants are present.
core::slice::Iter.ptr can be null when iterating a slice of zero-sized
elements, but the pointer value used for the slice itself cannot. Handle
this case by always returning a dummy pointer for slices of zero-sized
elements.
