This change is in preparation for #8122. Nothing is currently done with these
visibility qualifiers, they are just parsed and accepted by the compiler.
RFC: 0004-private-fields
The problem was that we need to apply the substitution, so that the
formal lifetime parameters get replaced with (unifiable)
free-lifetimes that can actually be fed into the constraint solver.
Also, refactor code os that substitution for `check_item` and
`check_method`, moving both down the control flow into `check_bare_fn`.
----
Finally, there was another (similar) spot where we needed to
substitute early-bound lifetimes when invoking an object method of a
trait.
It was possible to borrow unsafe static items in static initializers.
This patch implements a small `Visitor` that walks static initializer's
expressions and checks borrows aliasability.

Test Plan: make check

This needs to be removed as part of removing `~[T]`. Partial type hints
are now allowed, and will remove the need to add a version of this
method for `Vec<T>`. For now, this involves a few workarounds for
partial type hints not completely working.
Replace syntax::opt_vec with syntax::owned_slice
The `owned_slice::OwnedSlice` is `(*T, uint)` (i.e. a direct equivalent to DSTs `~[T]`).
This shaves two words off the old OptVec type; and also makes substituting in other implementations easy, by removing all the mutation methods. (And also everything that's very rarely/never used.)
The compiler will no longer inject libgreen as the default runtime for rust
programs, this commit switches it over to libnative by default. Now that
libnative has baked for some time, it is ready enough to start getting more
serious usage as the default runtime for rustc generated binaries.
We've found that there isn't really a correct decision in choosing a 1:1 or M:N
runtime as a default for all applications, but it seems that a larger number of
programs today would work more reasonable with a native default rather than a
green default.
With this commit come a number of bugfixes:
* The main native task is now named "<main>"
* The main native task has the stack bounds set up properly
* #[no_uv] was renamed to #[no_start]
* The core-run-destroy test was rewritten for both libnative and libgreen and
one of the tests was modified to be more robust.
* The process-detach test was locked to libgreen because it uses signal handling
This is the first step to replacing OptVec with a new representation:
remove all mutability. Any mutations have to go via `Vec` and then make
to `OptVec`.
Many of the uses of OptVec are unnecessary now that Vec has no-alloc
emptiness (and have been converted to Vec): the only ones that really
need it are the AST and sty's (and so on) where there are a *lot* of
instances of them, and they're (mostly) immutable.
In Rust, the strongest guarantee that `&mut` provides is that the memory
pointed to is *not aliased*, whereas `&`'s guarantees are much weaker:
that the value can be aliased, and may be mutated under proper precautions
(interior mutability).
Our atomics though use `&mut` for mutation even while creating multiple
aliases, so this changes them to use 'interior mutability', mutating
through immutable references.
Most of the standard distribution is still using ~[] instead of Vec, so this
lint is essentially useless currently. When the standard distribution has been
ported to not use ~[], then we can turn the lint back on.
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

What this PR will do
================
- [x] Add Share kind and
- [x] Replace usages of Freeze with Share in bounds.
- [x] Add Unsafe<T> #12577
- [x] Forbid taking the address of a immutable static item with `Unsafe<T>` interior
What's left to do in a separate PR (after the snapshot)?
===========================================
- Remove `Freeze` completely
These variants occur rarely but inflate the whole enum for the other variants, leaving a lot of wasted space. In total this reduces `ty::sty` from 160 bytes to 96 (on a 64-bit platform).
After this, `ty_struct` and `ty_enum` are the largest variants, with the 80-byte `substs` being the major contributor.
This fixes struct passing abi on x86 ffi: Structs are now passed
indirectly with byval attribute (as clang does).
Empty structs are also explicitly ignored rather than directly passed.

This reduces the size of sty from 112 to 96; like with the ty_trait
variant, this variant of sty occurs rarely (~1%) so the benefits are
large and the costs small.
This reduces ty::sty from 160 bytes to just 112, and some measurements
eddyb made suggest that the ty_trait variant occurs very
rarely (e.g. ~1% of all sty instances) hence this will result in a large
memory saving, and the cost of the indirection is unlikely to be an
issue.
