We've long had traits `StrVector` and `VectorVector` providing
`concat`/`connect` and `concat_vec`/`connect_vec` respectively. The
reason for the distinction is that coherence rules did not used to be
robust enough to allow impls on e.g. `Vec<String>` versus `Vec<&[T]>`.
This commit consolidates the traits into a single `SliceConcatExt` trait
provided by `slice` and the preldue (where it replaces `StrVector`,
which is removed.)

This commit takes a second pass through the `vec` module to
stabilize its API. The changes are as follows:
**Stable**:
* `dedup`
* `from_raw_parts`
* `insert`
* `into_iter`
* `is_empty`
* `remove`
* `reserve_exact`
* `reserve`
* `retain`
* `swap_remove`
* `truncate`
**Deprecated**:
* `from_fn`, `from_elem`, `grow_fn` and `grow`, all deprecated in
favor of iterators. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/509
* `partition`, `partitioned`, deprecated in favor of a new, more
general iterator consumer called `partition`.
* `unzip`, deprecated in favor of a new, more general iterator
consumer called `unzip`.
A few remaining methods are left at experimental status.

Rewrite associated types to use projection rather than dummy type parameters. This closes almost every (major) open issue, but I'm holding off on that until the code has landed and baked a bit. Probably it should have more tests, as well, but I wanted to get this landed as fast as possible so that we can collaborate on improving it.
The commit history is a little messy, particularly the merge commit at the end. If I get some time, I might just "reset" to the beginning and try to carve up the final state into logical pieces. Let me know if it seems hard to follow. By far the most crucial commit is "Implement associated type projection and normalization."

for lack of impl-trait-for-trait just a bit more targeted (don't
substitute err, just drop the troublesome bound for now) -- otherwise
substituting false types leads us into trouble when we normalize etc.
1. Produced more unique types than is necessary. This increases memory consumption.
2. Linking the type parameter to its definition *seems* like a good idea, but it
encourages reliance on the bounds listing.
3. It made pretty-printing harder and in particular was causing bad error messages
when errors occurred before the `TypeParameterDef` entries were fully stored.
This commit adds support for the compiler to distinguish between different forms
of lookup paths in the compiler itself. Issue #19767 has some background on this
topic, as well as some sample bugs which can occur if these lookup paths are not
separated.
This commits extends the existing command line flag `-L` with the same trailing
syntax as the `-l` flag. Each argument to `-L` can now have a trailing `:all`,
`:native`, `:crate`, or `:dependency`. This suffix indicates what form of lookup
path the compiler should add the argument to. The `dependency` lookup path is
used when looking up crate dependencies, the `crate` lookup path is used when
looking for immediate dependencies (`extern crate` statements), and the `native`
lookup path is used for probing for native libraries to insert into rlibs. Paths
with `all` are used for all of these purposes (the default).
The default compiler lookup path (the rustlib libdir) is by default added to all
of these paths. Additionally, the `RUST_PATH` lookup path is added to all of
these paths.
Closes#19767
