These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).
There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.
C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.
Closes#8822Closes#10155
Add a new trait BytesContainer that is implemented for both byte vectors
and strings.
Convert Path::from_vec and ::from_str to one function, Path::new().
Remove all the _str-suffixed mutation methods (push, join, with_*,
set_*) and modify the non-suffixed versions to use BytesContainer.
Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
The root issue is that dlerror isn't reentrant or even thread safe.
The Windows code isn't affected since errno is thread-local on Windows
and it's running in an atomically block to ensure there isn't a green
thread context switch.
Closes#8156
Some extern blobs are duplicated without "stdcall" abi,
since Win64 does not use any calling convention.
(Giving any abi to them causes llvm producing wrong bytecode.)
.with_c_str() is a replacement for the old .as_c_str(), to avoid
unnecessary boilerplate.
Replace all usages of .to_c_str().with_ref() with .with_c_str().
A test case was also created for this situation to prevent the problem
occuring again.
A similar problem was also fixed for the symbol method.
There was some minor code cleanup.

I imagine though that this will bounce in bors once or twice... Because attributes can't be cfg(stage0)'d off, there's temporarily a lot of new stage0/stage1+ code.
The code compiles and runs under windows now, but I couldn't look up any
symbol from the current executable (dlopen(NULL)), and calling looked
up external function handles doesn't seem to work correctly under windows.
