This makes error messages about (e.g.) `#[deriving(Clone)] struct Foo {
x: Type }` point at `x: Type` rather than `Clone` in the header (while
still referring to the `#[deriving(Clone)]` in the expansion info).
It was decided a long, long time ago that libextra should not exist, but rather its modules should be split out into smaller independent libraries maintained outside of the compiler itself. The theory was to use `rustpkg` to manage dependencies in order to move everything out of the compiler, but maintain an ease of usability.
Sadly, the work on `rustpkg` isn't making progress as quickly as expected, but the need for dissolving libextra is becoming more and more pressing. Because of this, we've thought that a good interim solution would be to simply package more libraries with the rust distribution itself. Instead of dissolving libextra into libraries outside of the mozilla/rust repo, we can dissolve libraries into the mozilla/rust repo for now.
Work on this has been excruciatingly painful in the past because the makefiles are completely opaque to all but a few. Adding a new library involved adding about 100 lines spread out across 8 files (incredibly error prone). The first commit of this pull request targets this pain point. It does not rewrite the build system, but rather refactors large portions of it. Afterwards, adding a new library is as simple as modifying 2 lines (easy, right?). The build system automatically keeps track of dependencies between crates (rust *and* native), promotes binaries between stages, tracks dependencies of installed tools, etc, etc.
With this newfound buildsystem power, I chose the `extra::flate` module as the first candidate for removal from libextra. While a small module, this module is relative complex in that is has a C dependency and the compiler requires it (messing with the dependency graph a bit). Albeit I modified more than 2 lines of makefiles to accomodate libflate (the native dependency required 2 extra lines of modifications), but the removal process was easy to do and straightforward.
---
Testing-wise, I've cross-compiled, run tests, built some docs, installed, uninstalled, etc. I'm still working out a few kinks, and I'm sure that there's gonna be built system issues after this, but it should be working well for basic use!

This is hopefully the beginning of the long-awaited dissolution of libextra.
Using the newly created build infrastructure for building libraries, I decided
to move the first module out of libextra.
While not being a particularly meaty module in and of itself, the flate module
is required by rustc and additionally has a native C dependency. I was able to
very easily split out the C dependency from rustrt, update librustc, and
magically everything gets installed to the right locations and built
automatically.
This is meant to be a proof-of-concept commit to how easy it is to remove
modules from libextra now. I didn't put any effort into modernizing the
interface of libflate or updating it other than to remove the one glob import it
had.
See #11522, but the idea is for private structs to have private fields by default, whereas public structs will continue to have public fields by default.
This was the original intention of the privacy of structs, and it was
erroneously implemented before. A pub struct will now have default-pub fields,
and a non-pub struct will have default-priv fields. This essentially brings
struct fields in line with enum variants in terms of inheriting visibility.
As usual, extraneous modifiers to visibility are disallowed depend on the case
that you're dealing with.
Closes#11522
Before this patch, if you wanted to add a crate to the build system you had to
change about 100 lines across 8 separate makefiles. This is highly error prone
and opaque to all but a few. This refactoring is targeted at consolidating this
effort so adding a new crate adds one line in one file in a way that everyone
can understand it.
These are either returned from public functions, and really should
appear in the documentation, but don't since they're private, or are
implementation details that are currently public.

Now that procedural macros can be implemented outside of the compiler,
it's more important to have a reasonable API to work with. Here are the
basic changes:
* Rename SyntaxExpanderTTTrait to MacroExpander, SyntaxExpanderTT to
BasicMacroExpander, etc. I think "procedural macro" is the right
term for these now, right? The other option would be SynExtExpander
or something like that.
* Stop passing the SyntaxContext to extensions. This was only ever used
by macro_rules, which doesn't even use it anymore. I can't think of
a context in which an external extension would need it, and removal
allows the API to be significantly simpler - no more
SyntaxExpanderTTItemExpanderWithoutContext wrappers to worry about.

The following are renamed:
* `min_value` => `MIN`
* `max_value` => `MAX`
* `bits` => `BITS`
* `bytes` => `BYTES`
All tests pass, except for `run-pass/phase-syntax-link-does-resolve.rs`. I doubt that failure is related, though.
Fixes#10010.
The race here happened when a port had its deschedule in select() canceled, but
the other chan had already been dropped. This meant that the DISCONNECTED case
was hit in abort_selection, but the to_wake cell hadn't been emptied yet (this
was done after aborting), causing an assert in abort_selection to trip.
To fix this, the to_wake cell is just emptied before abort_selection is called
(we know that we're the owner of it already).
They all have to go into a single module at the moment unfortunately.
Ideally, the logging macros would live in std::logging, condition! would
live in std::condition, format! in std::fmt, etc. However, this
introduces cyclic dependencies between those modules and the macros they
use which the current expansion system can't deal with. We may be able
to get around this by changing the expansion phase to a two-pass system
but that's for a later PR.

This test is designed to ensure that running a non-existent executable
results in a correct error message (FileNotFound in this case of this
test). However, if you try to run an executable that doesn't exist, and
that requires searching through the $PATH, and one of the $PATH components
is not readable, then a PermissionDenied error will be returned, instead
of FileNotFound.
