This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.

This basically meant changing the interface so that no borrowed `&Vec`
is exposed, by hiding `fn get_vec` and `fn get_mut_vec` and revising
`fn all_vecs`.
Instead, clients should use one of the other methods; `get_slice`,
`pop`, `truncate`, `replace`, `push_all`, or `is_empty_in`, which
should work for any case currently used in rustc.
Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
This commit hooks rustdoc into the stability index infrastructure in two
ways:
1. It looks up stability levels via the index, rather than by manual
attributes.
2. It adds stability level information throughout rustdoc output, rather
than just at the top header. In particular, a stability color (with
mouseover text) appears next to essentially every item that appears
in rustdoc's HTML output.
Along the way, the stability index code has been lightly refactored.
### Breaking changes:
* **Removed unnecessary `box` from enum variant (`Object(Box<Object>)` becomes `Object(Object)`)**
* **Deprecated `Encoder::str_encode`**
### Other changes:
* Tried to make the code more idiomatic
* Renamed the `wr` field of the `Encoder` and `PrettyEncoder` structs to `writer`
* Replaced some `from_utf8` by `from_utf8_owned` to avoid unnecessary allocations
* Removed unnecessary `unsafe` code
* Added `encode` and `decode` shortcut functions
* Implemented `FromStr` for `Json`
* Implemented `ToJson` for tuples of arity up to 12
* Fixed some details in the documentation
### Questions
* ~~The `encode` shortcut function does the same as the `Encoder::str_encode` function. It seems wrong to me that two functions do exactly the same. Should we deprecate `Encoder::str_encode`?~~
* ~~Do we really want the ToJson trait for tuples? At the moment we have it for (), (A, B), (A, B, C). I would like to remove them.~~
* ~~We are using `String` as key in the `TreeMap` representing a `Json` object. It would be better to use `&str`, but this would require to annotate lots of lifetimes. Is there any easy solution for this?~~
* There is a lot of duplicated code (`PrettyEncoder` copies about 50 lines from `Encoder`). In an OO language this could be solved very elegantly by using inheritance and overriding. What can we do here to reduce the amount of boilerplate?

Closes#14358.
~~The tests are not yet moved to `utf16_iter`, so this probably won't compile. I'm submitting this PR anyway so it can be reviewed and since it was mentioned in #14611.~~ EDIT: Tests now use `utf16_iter`.
This deprecates `.to_utf16`. `x.to_utf16()` should be replaced by either `x.utf16_iter().collect::<Vec<u16>>()` (the type annotation may be optional), or just `x.utf16_iter()` directly, if it can be used in an iterator context.

This makes the `in-header`, `markdown-before-content`, and `markdown-after-content` options available to `rustdoc` when generating documentation for any crate.
Before, these options were only available when creating documentation *from* markdown. Now, they are available when generating documentation from source.
This also updates the `rustdoc -h` output to reflect these changes. It does not update the `man rustdoc` page, nor does it update the documentation in [the `rustdoc` manual](http://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc.html).
floating point numbers for real.
This will break code that looks like:
let mut x = 0;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Change that code to:
let mut x = 0i;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Closes#15201.

This change registers new snapshots, allowing `*T` to be removed from the language. This is a large breaking change, and it is recommended that if compiler errors are seen that any FFI calls are audited to determine whether they should be actually taking `*mut T`.
This can break code that looked like:
impl Foo for Box<Any> {
fn f(&self) { ... }
}
let x: Box<Any + Send> = ...;
x.f();
Change such code to:
impl Foo for Box<Any> {
fn f(&self) { ... }
}
let x: Box<Any> = ...;
x.f();
That is, upcast before calling methods.
This is a conservative solution to #5781. A more proper treatment (see
the xfail'd `trait-contravariant-self.rs`) would take variance into
account. This change fixes the soundness hole.
Some library changes had to be made to make this work. In particular,
`Box<Any>` is no longer showable, and only `Box<Any+Send>` is showable.
Eventually, this restriction can be lifted; for now, it does not prove
too onerous, because `Any` is only used for propagating the result of
task failure.
This patch also adds a test for the variance inference work in #12828,
which accidentally landed as part of DST.
Closes#5781.

The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.

We're going to have more modules under lint, and the paths get unwieldy. We
also plan to have lints run at multiple points in the compilation pipeline.
```test_harness
#[test]
fn foo() {}
```
will now compile and run the tests, rather than just ignoring & stripping them (i.e. it is as if `--test` was passed).
Also, the specific example in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/12242 was fixed (but that issue is broader than that example).
Updated search bar to match help text.
Used correct, normalized hotkeys in search.
Updated shortcut menu with working shortcuts (tabs).
Changed height of search help.
This adds the `test_harness` directive that runs a code block using the
test runner, to allow for `#[test]` items to be demonstrated and still
tested (currently they are just stripped and not even compiled, let
alone run).
This creates a stability baseline for all crates that we distribute that are not `std`. In general, all library code must start as experimental and progress in stages to become stable.
Replace its usage with byte string literals, except in `bytes!()` tests.
Also add a new snapshot, to be able to use the new b"foo" syntax.
The src/etc/2014-06-rewrite-bytes-macros.py script automatically
rewrites `bytes!()` invocations into byte string literals.
Pass it filenames as arguments to generate a diff that you can inspect,
or `--apply` followed by filenames to apply the changes in place.
Diffs can be piped into `tip` or `pygmentize -l diff` for coloring.
