The previous code erroneously assumed that 'steals > cnt' was always true, but
that was a false assumption. The code was altered to decrement steals to a
minimum of 0 instead of taking all of cnt into account.
I didn't include the exact test from #12295 because it could run for quite
awhile, and instead set the threshold for MAX_STEALS to much lower during
testing. I found that this triggered the old bug quite frequently when running
without this fix.
Closes#12295
This is useful in contexts like this:
```rust
let size = rdr.read_be_i32() as uint;
let mut limit = LimitReader::new(rdr.by_ref(), size);
let thing = read_a_thing(&mut limit);
assert!(limit.limit() == 0);
```

- adds a `LockGuard` type returned by `.lock` and `.trylock` that unlocks the mutex in the destructor
- renames `mutex::Mutex` to `StaticNativeMutex`
- adds a `NativeMutex` type with a destructor
- removes `LittleLock`
- adds `#[must_use]` to `sync::mutex::Guard` to remind people to use it

Function parameters that are to be passed by value but don't fit into a
single register are currently passed by creating a copy on the stack and
passing a pointer to that copy to the callee. Since the copy is made
just for the function call, there are no aliases.
For example, this sometimes allows LLVM to eliminate unnecessary calls
to drop glue. Given
````rust
struct Foo {
a: int,
b: Option<~str>,
}
extern {
fn eat(eat: Option<~str>);
}
pub fn foo(v: Foo) {
match v {
Foo { a: _, b } => unsafe { eat(b) }
}
}
````
LLVM currently can't eliminate the drop call for the string, because it
only sees a _pointer_ to Foo, for which it has to expect an alias. So we
get:
````llvm

Change `os::args()` and `os::env()` to use `str::from_utf8_lossy()`.
Add new functions `os::args_as_bytes()` and `os::env_as_bytes()` to retrieve the args/env as byte vectors instead.
The existing methods were left returning strings because I expect that the common use-case is to want string handling.
Fixes#7188.
I created RefReader and RefWriter structs that wrap a mutable reference to a Reader or Writer value. This works exactly like the ByRef struct in the iter module and allows passing a reference to a Reader or Writer to function expecting a Reader or Writer by value with the caller retaining ownership to the original value.
I also modified LimitReader to take the wrapped Reader by value instead of by reference.

It's too easy to forget the `rust` tag to have a code example tested, and it's
far more common to have testable code than untestable code.
This alters rustdoc to have only two directives, `ignore` and `should_fail`. The
`ignore` directive ignores the code block entirely, and the `should_fail`
directive has been fixed to only fail the test if the code execution fails, not
also compilation.
Parse the environment by default with from_utf8_lossy. Also provide
byte-vector equivalents (e.g. os::env_as_bytes()).
Unfortunately, setenv() can't have a byte-vector equivalent because of
Windows support, unless we want to define a setenv_bytes() that fails
under Windows for non-UTF8 (or non-UTF16).
os::args() was using str::raw::from_c_str(), which would assert if the
C-string wasn't valid UTF-8. Switch to using from_utf8_lossy() instead,
and add a separate function os::args_as_bytes() that returns the ~[u8]
byte-vectors instead.
