rustbuild: Avoid some extraneous rustc compiles on cross builds
This tweaks a few locations here and there to avoid compiling rustc too many times on our cross-builders on CI.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44132
This controls the value of the crt-static feature used when building the
standard library for a target, as well as the compiler itself when that
target is the host.
Some users of the build system change the git sha on every build due to
utilizing git to push changes to a remote server. This allows them to
simply configure that away instead of depending on custom patches to
rustbuild.
This introduces a slight change in behavior, where we unilaterally
respect the --host and --target parameters passed for all sanity
checking and runtime configuration.
When copying libstd for the stage 2 compiler, the builder ignores the
configured libdir/libdir_relative configuration parameters. This causes
the compiler to fail to find libstd, which cause any tools built with the
stage 2 compiler to fail.
To fix this, make the copy steps of rustbuild aware of the libdir_relative
parameter when the stage >= 2. Also update the dist target to be aware of
the new location of libstd.
Autogenerate stubs and SUMMARY.md in the unstable book
Removes a speed bump in compiler development by autogenerating stubs for features in the unstable book. See #42454 for discussion.
The PR contains three commits, separated in order to make review easy:
* The first commit converts the tidy tool from a binary crate to a crate that contains both a library and a binary. In the second commit, we'll use the tidy library
* The second and main commit introduces autogeneration of SUMMARY.md and feature stub files
* The third commit turns off the tidy lint that checks for features without a stub, and removes the stub files. A separate commit due to the large number of files touched
Members of the doc team who wish to document some features can either do this (where `$rustsrc` is the root of the rust repo git checkout):
1. cd to `$rustsrc/src/tools/unstable-book-gen` and then do `cargo run $rustsrc/src $rustsrc/src/doc/unstable-book` to put the stubs into the unstable book
2. cd to `$rustsrc` and run `git ls-files --others --exclude-standard` to list the newly added stubs
3. choose a file to edit, then `git add` it and `git commit`
4. afterwards, remove all changes by the tool by doing `git --reset hard` and `git clean -f`
Or they can do this:
1. remove the comment marker in `src/tools/tidy/src/unstable_book.rs` line 122
2. run `./x.py test src/tools/tidy` to list the unstable features which only have stubs
3. revert the change in 1
3. document one of the chosen unstable features
The changes done by this PR also allow for further development:
* tidy obtains information about tracking issues. We can now forbid differing tracking issues between differing `#![unstable]` annotations. I haven't done this but plan to in a future PR
* we now have a general framework for generating stuff for the unstable book at build time. Further changes can autogenerate a list of the API a given library feature exposes.
The old way to simply click through the documentation after it has been uploaded to rust-lang.org works as well.

Fixes#42454
This option forwards to each `cargo test` invocation, and applies the
same logic across all test steps to keep going after failures. At the
end, a brief summary line reports how many commands failed, if any.
Note that if a test program fails to even start at all, or if an
auxiliary build command related to testing fails, these are still left
to stop everything right away.
Fixes#40219.
* Bring back colors on Travis, which was disabled since #39036.
Append --color=always to cargo when running in CI environment.
* Removed `set -x` in the shell scripts. The `retry` function already
prints which command it is running, add `-x` just add noise to the
output.
* Support travis_fold/travis_time. Matching pairs of these allow Travis CI
to collapse the output in between. This greatly cut down the unnecessary
"successful" output one need to scroll through before finding the failed
statement.
I noticed these while reading through the build system
documentation. They're hardly worth fixing, but I'm also using this to
get my feet wet with the rustc contribution system.
Add an option to run rustbuild on low priority on Windows and Unix
This is a resurrection of #40776, combining their Windows setup with an additional setup on Unix to set the program group's *nice*ness to +10 (low-but-not-lowest priority, mirroring the priority in the Windows setup) when the `low_priority` option is on.
