This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
Fixes for #8625 to prevent assigning to `&mut` in borrowed or aliasable locations. The old code was insufficient in that it failed to catch bizarre cases like `& &mut &mut`.

This PR contains some code cleanup and the fix for issue #8670.
~~I am not sure about issue #8442 (could not reproduce it). @jdm, could check after this is merged and possibly close the issue then?~~ (closed now)
Some interesting facts: With this commit, it should be possible to compile libstd with `-Zdebug-info` (it does not work yet with `-Zextra-debug-info` but we are getting there). Switching debug info on increases the compile time for libstd by about 2 seconds.
@catamorphism I get one failing test in rustpkg:
`package_script_with_default_build` says: `task <unnamed> failed at 'Couldn't copy file', /home/mw/rust/src/librustpkg/tests.rs:689`
Would you have any idea what that is about? Seems be something wrong on my machine...
Cheers,
Michael
Fixes#8670
.with_c_str() is a replacement for the old .as_c_str(), to avoid
unnecessary boilerplate.
Replace all usages of .to_c_str().with_ref() with .with_c_str().
* All globals marked as `pub` won't have the `internal` linkage type set
* All global references across crates are forced to use the address of the
global in the other crate via an external reference.

Infers type of constants used as discriminants and ensures they are
integral, instead of forcing them to be a signed integer.
Also, stores discriminant values as uint instead of int interally and
deals with related fallout.
Fixes issue #7994
for cases where it's hard to decide what id to use for the lookup); modify
irrefutable bindings code to move or copy depending on the type, rather than
threading through a flag. Also updates how local variables and arguments are
registered. These changes were hard to isolate.
We currently still handle immediate return values a lot like
non-immediate ones. We provide a slot for them and store them into
memory, often just to immediately load them again. To improve this
situation, trans_call_inner has to return a Result which contains the
immediate return value.
Also, it also needs to accept "No destination" in addition to just
SaveIn and Ignore. Since "No destination" isn't something that fits
well into the Dest type, I've chosen to simply use Option<Dest>
instead, paired with an assertion that checks that "None" is only
allowed for immediate return values.
This is work continued from the now landed #7495 and #7521 pulls.
Removing the headers from unique vectors is another project, so I've separated the allocator.
