To make progress on #18585 we're paring down the distribution to theoretically
"only libstd", and this commit makes progress on this by removing the rlibc
crate from the distribution.
The crate has now been moved into an external cargo package located in the rust
lang organization [1]. This is a breaking change due to this removal, and
existing crates depending on `rlibc` should use the Cargo crate instead.

As a new user, I spent a while confused when flycheck told me the code sample I'd typed in was invalid. I ended up figuring out some of what comes after the code sample more painfully by myself because there was no indication that it was broken in the text beforehand. This one line change makes it clear that the code following it is an experiment that may not work rather than something to assume just works.
* Renames/deprecates the simplest and most obvious methods
* Adds FIXME(conventions)s for outstanding work
* Marks "handled" methods as unstable
NOTE: the semantics of reserve and reserve_exact have changed!
Other methods have had their semantics changed as well, but in a
way that should obviously not typecheck if used incorrectly.
Lots of work and breakage to come, but this handles most of the core
APIs and most eggregious breakage. Future changes should *mostly* focus on
niche collections, APIs, or simply back-compat additions.

This commit renames a number of extension traits for slices and string slices, now that they have been refactored for DST. In many cases, multiple extension traits could now be consolidated. Further consolidation will be possible with generalized where clauses.
The renamings are consistent with the [new `-Prelude` suffix](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/344). There are probably a few more candidates for being renamed this way, but that is left for API stabilization of the relevant modules.
Because this renames traits, it is a:
[breaking-change]
However, I do not expect any code that currently uses the standard library to actually break.
Closes#17917

This commit adds support for linting `extern crate` statements for stability
attributes attached to the crate itself. This is likely to be the mechanism used
to deny access to experimental crates that are part of the standard
distribution.

`eq`, `ne`, `cmp`, etc methods now require one less level of indirection when dealing with `&str`/`&[T]`
``` rust
"foo".ne(&"bar") -> "foo".ne("bar")
slice.cmp(&another_slice) -> slice.cmp(another_slice)
// slice and another_slice have type `&[T]`
```
