This commit completes the deprecation story for the in-tree serialization
library. The compiler will now emit a warning whenever it encounters
`deriving(Encodable)` or `deriving(Decodable)`, and the library itself is now
marked `#[unstable]` for when feature staging is enabled.
All users of serialization can migrate to the `rustc-serialize` crate on
crates.io which provides the exact same interface as the libserialize library
in-tree. The new deriving modes are named `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable`
and require `extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize` at the crate
root in order to expand correctly.
To migrate all crates, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
[dependencies]
rustc-serialize = "0.1.1"
And then add the following to your crate root:
extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize;
Finally, rename `Encodable` and `Decodable` deriving modes to `RustcEncodable`
and `RustcDecodable`.

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.

This extends cfg-gating to attributes.
```rust
#[cfg_attr(<cfg pattern>, <attr>)]
```
will expand to
```rust
#[<attr>]
```
if the `<cfg pattern>` matches the current cfg environment, and nothing
if it does not. The grammar for the cfg pattern has a simple
recursive structure:
* `value` and `key = "value"` are cfg patterns,
* `not(<cfg pattern>)` is a cfg pattern and matches if `<cfg pattern>`
does not.
* `all(<cfg pattern>, ...)` is a cfg pattern and matches if all of the
`<cfg pattern>`s do.
* `any(<cfg pattern>, ...)` is a cfg pattern and matches if any of the
`<cfg pattern>`s do.
Examples:
```rust
// only derive Show for assert_eq! in tests
#[cfg_attr(test, deriving(Show))]
struct Foo { ... }
// only derive Show for assert_eq! in tests and debug builds
#[cfg_attr(any(test, not(ndebug)), deriving(Show))]
struct Foo { ... }
// ignore a test in certain cases
#[test]
#[cfg_attr(all(not(target_os = "linux"), target_endian = "big"), ignore)]
fn test_broken_thing() { ... }
// Avoid duplication when fixing staging issues in rustc
#[cfg_attr(not(stage0), lang="iter")]
pub trait Iterator<T> { ... }
```
declared with the same name in the same scope.
This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.
Closes#16464.

Closes#8142.
This is not the semantics we want long-term. You can continue to use
`#[unsafe_destructor]`, but you'll need to add
`#![feature(unsafe_destructor)]` to the crate attributes.

This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019

This code does not belong in libstd, and rather belongs in a dedicated crate. In
the future, the syntax::ext::format module should move to the fmt_macros crate
(hence the name of the crate), but for now the fmt_macros crate will only
contain the format string parser.
The entire fmt_macros crate is marked #[experimental] because it is not meant
for general consumption, only the format!() interface is officially supported,
not the internals.
This is a breaking change for anyone using the internals of std::fmt::parse.
Some of the flags have moved to std::fmt::rt, while the actual parsing support
has all moved to the fmt_macros library.
