Implement [T]::align_to
Note that this PR deviates from what is accepted by RFC slightly by making `align_offset` to return an offset in elements, rather than bytes. This is necessary to sanely support `[T]::align_to` and also simply makes more sense™. The caveat is that trying to align a pointer of ZST is now an equivalent to `is_aligned` check, rather than anything else (as no number of ZST elements will align a misaligned ZST pointer).
It also implements the `align_to` slightly differently than proposed in the RFC to properly handle cases where size of T and U aren’t co-prime.
Furthermore, a promise is made that the slice containing `U`s will be as large as possible (contrary to the RFC) – otherwise the function is quite useless.
The implementation uses quite a few underhanded tricks and takes advantage of the fact that alignment is a power-of-two quite heavily to optimise the machine code down to something that results in as few known-expensive instructions as possible. Currently calling `ptr.align_offset` with an unknown-at-compile-time `align` results in code that has just a single "expensive" modulo operation; the rest is "cheap" arithmetic and bitwise ops.

This commit feature gates generating modules and macro definitions in procedural
macro expansions. Custom derive is exempt from this check as it would be a large
retroactive breaking change (#50587). It's hoped that we can hopefully stem the
bleeding to figure out a better solution here before opening up the floodgates.
The restriction here is specifically targeted at surprising hygiene results [1]
that result in non-"copy/paste" behavior. Hygiene and procedural macros is
intended to be avoided as much as possible for Macros 1.2 by saying everything
is "as if you copy/pasted the code", but modules and macros are sort of weird
exceptions to this rule that aren't fully fleshed out.

Make the `const_err` lint `deny`-by-default
At best these things are runtime panics (debug mode) or overflows (release mode). More likely they are public constants that are unused in the crate declaring them.
This is not a breaking change, as dependencies won't break and root crates can `#![warn(const_err)]`, though I don't know why anyone would do that.
The example code snippets for the `no_run` and `compile_fail` attributes
in the rustdoc documentation were followed by the description for the
wrong attribute. This patch reorders the descriptions to match the code
snippets.
Implement edition hygiene for keywords

I've resurrected `proc` as an Edition-2015-only keyword for testing purposes, but it should probably be buried again. EDIT: `proc` is removed again.
In e4b1a79 (#47922), we corrected erroneous suggestions for unused
shorthand field pattern bindings, suggesting `field: _` where the
previous suggestion of `_field` wouldn't even have compiled
(#47390). Soon, it was revealed that this was insufficient (#50303), and
the fix was extended to references, slices, &c. (#50327) But even this
proved inadequate, as the erroneous suggestions were still being issued
for patterns in local (`let`) bindings (#50804). Here, we yank the
shorthand-detection and variable/node registration code into a new
common function that can be called while visiting both match arms and
`let` bindings.
Resolves#50804.
stop considering location when computing outlives relationships
This doesn't (yet?) use SEME regions, but it does ignore the location for outlives constraints. This makes (I believe) NLL significantly faster -- but we should do some benchmarks. It regresses the "get-default" family of use cases for NLL, which is a shame, but keeps the other benefits, and thus represents a decent step forward.

This used to be disabled due to LLVM bugs in the handling of
noalias information in conjunction with unwinding. However,
according to #31681 all known LLVM bugs have been fixed by
LLVM 6.0, so it's probably time to reenable this optimization.
Noalias annotations will not be emitted by default if either
-C panic=abort (as previously) or LLVM >= 6.0 (new).
-Z mutable-noalias=no is left as an escape-hatch to allow
debugging problems suspected to stem from this change.
Keep only the language item. This removes some indirection and makes
codegen worse for debug builds, but simplifies code significantly, which
is a good tradeoff to make, in my opinion.
Besides, the codegen can be improved even further with some constant
evaluation improvements that we expect to happen in the future.
Make sure people know the book is free oline
I've used the tutorial a number of times to relearn rust basics. When i saw this for a moment I was sad thinking it had been taken offline.
