This makes it illegal for a Drop impl to be more specialized than the
original item.
So for example, all of the following are now rejected (when they would
have been blindly accepted before):
```rust
struct S<A> { ... };
impl Drop for S<i8> { ... } // error: specialized to concrete type
struct T<'a> { ... };
impl Drop for T<'static> { ... } // error: specialized to concrete region
struct U<A> { ... };
impl<A:Clone> Drop for U<A> { ... } // error: added extra type requirement
struct V<'a,'b>;
impl<'a,'b:a> Drop for V<'a,'b> { ... } // error: added extra region requirement
```
Due to examples like the above, this is a [breaking-change].
(The fix is to either remove the specialization from the `Drop` impl,
or to transcribe the requirements into the struct/enum definition;
examples of both are shown in the PR's fixed to `libstd`.)

This is likely to be the last thing blocking the removal of the
`#[unsafe_destructor]` attribute.
Includes two new error codes for the new dropck check.
Update run-pass tests to accommodate new dropck pass.
Update tests and docs to reflect new destructor restriction.

Implementation notes:
We identify Drop impl specialization by not being as parametric as the
struct/enum definition via unification.
More specifically:
1. Attempt unification of a skolemized instance of the struct/enum
with an instance of the Drop impl's type expression where all of
the impl's generics (i.e. the free variables of the type
expression) have been replaced with unification variables.
2. If unification fails, then reject Drop impl as specialized.
3. If unification succeeds, check if any of the skolemized
variables "leaked" into the constraint set for the inference
context; if so, then reject Drop impl as specialized.
4. Otherwise, unification succeeded without leaking skolemized
variables: accept the Drop impl.
We identify whether a Drop impl is injecting new predicates by simply
looking whether the predicate, after an appropriate substitution,
appears on the struct/enum definition.
This commit moves the libserialize crate (and will force the hand of the
rustc-serialize crate) to not require the `old_orphan_check` feature gate as
well as using associated types wherever possible. Concretely, the following
changes were made:
* The error type of `Encoder` and `Decoder` is now an associated type, meaning
that these traits have no type parameters.
* The `Encoder` and `Decoder` type parameters on the `Encodable` and `Decodable`
traits have moved to the corresponding method of the trait. This movement
alleviates the dependency on `old_orphan_check` but implies that
implementations can no longer be specialized for the type of encoder/decoder
being implemented.
Due to the trait definitions changing, this is a:
[breaking-change]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 526][rfc] which is a change to alter
the definition of the old `fmt::FormatWriter`. The new trait, renamed to
`Writer`, now only exposes one method `write_str` in order to guarantee that all
implementations of the formatting traits can only produce valid Unicode.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0526-fmt-text-writer.md
One of the primary improvements of this patch is the performance of the
`.to_string()` method by avoiding an almost-always redundant UTF-8 check. This
is a breaking change due to the renaming of the trait as well as the loss of the
`write` method, but migration paths should be relatively easy:
* All usage of `write` should move to `write_str`. If truly binary data was
being written in an implementation of `Show`, then it will need to use a
different trait or an altogether different code path.
* All usage of `write!` should continue to work as-is with no modifications.
* All usage of `Show` where implementations just delegate to another should
continue to work as-is.
