These commits fix bugs related to identically named statics in functions of implementations in various situations. The commit messages have most of the information about what bugs are being fixed and why.
As a bonus, while I was messing around with name mangling, I improved the backtraces we'll get in gdb by removing `__extensions__` for the trait/type being implemented and by adding the method name as well. Yay!
There are 6 new compiler recognised attributes: deprecated, experimental,
unstable, stable, frozen, locked (these levels are taken directly from
Node's "stability index"[1]). These indicate the stability of the
item to which they are attached; e.g. `#[deprecated] fn foo() { .. }`
says that `foo` is deprecated.
This comes with 3 lints for the first 3 levels (with matching names) that
will detect the use of items marked with them (the `unstable` lint
includes items with no stability attribute). The attributes can be given
a short text note that will be displayed by the lint. An example:
#[warn(unstable)]; // `allow` by default
#[deprecated="use `bar`"]
fn foo() { }
#[stable]
fn bar() { }
fn baz() { }
fn main() {
foo(); // "warning: use of deprecated item: use `bar`"
bar(); // all fine
baz(); // "warning: use of unmarked item"
}
The lints currently only check the "edges" of the AST: i.e. functions,
methods[2], structs and enum variants. Any stability attributes on modules,
enums, traits and impls are not checked.

[2]: the method check is currently incorrect and doesn't work.
As with the previous commit, this is targeted at removing the possibility of
collisions between statics. The main use case here is when there's a
type-parametric function with an inner static that's compiled as a library.
Before this commit, any impl would generate a path item of "__extensions__".
This changes this identifier to be a "pretty name", which is either the last
element of the path of the trait implemented or the last element of the type's
path that's being implemented. That doesn't quite cut it though, so the (trait,
type) pair is hashed and again used to append information to the symbol.
Essentially, __extensions__ was removed for something nicer for debugging, and
then some more information was added to symbol name by including a hash of the
trait being implemented and type it's being implemented for. This should prevent
colliding names for inner statics in regular functions with similar names.
This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
Further followup on #7081.
There still remains writeback.rs, but I want to wait to investigate that one because I've seen `make check` issues with it in the past.
This does two things: 1) stops compressing metadata, 2) stops copying the metadata section, instead holding a reference to the buffer returned by the LLVM section iterator.
Not compressing metadata requires something like 7x the storage space, but makes running tests about 9% faster. This has been a time improvement on all platforms I've tested, including windows. I considered leaving compression as an option but it doesn't seem to be worth the complexity since we don't currently have any use cases where we need to save that space.
In order to avoid copying the metadata section I had to hack up extra::ebml a bit to support unsafe buffers. We should probably move it into librustc so that it can evolve to support the compiler without worrying about having a crummy interface.

For #7083.
The metadata issue with the old version is now fixed. Ready for review.
This is also not the full solution to #7083, because this is not supported yet:
```
trait Foo : Send { }
impl <T: Send> Foo for T { }
fn foo<T: Foo>(val: T, chan: std::comm::Chan<T>) {
chan.send(val);
}
```

Given that bootstrapping and running the testsuite works without
exporting discriminant values as global constants, I conclude that
they're unused and can be removed.

Retry of PR #8471
Replace the remaining functions marked for issue #8228 with similar functions that are iterator-based.
Change `either::{lefts, rights}` to be iterator-filtering instead of returning a vector.
Replace `map_vec`, `map_vec2`, `iter_vec2` in std::result with three functions:
* `result::collect` gathers `Iterator<Result<V, U>>` to `Result<~[V], U>`
* `result::fold` folds `Iterator<Result<T, E>>` to `Result<V, E>`
* `result::fold_` folds `Iterator<Result<T, E>>` to `Result<(), E>`
.with_c_str() is a replacement for the old .as_c_str(), to avoid
unnecessary boilerplate.
Replace all usages of .to_c_str().with_ref() with .with_c_str().
Remove the only use of either::partition since it was better
accomplished with vector methods.
Update either::partition so that it sizes the vectors correctly before
it starts.
r? @graydon Also, notably, make rustpkgtest depend on the rustpkg executable (otherwise, tests that shell out to rustpgk might run when rustpkg doesn't exist).
This commit allows you to write:
extern mod x = "a/b/c";
which means rustc will search in the RUST_PATH for a package with
ID a/b/c, and bind it to the name `x` if it's found.
Incidentally, move get_relative_to from back::rpath into std::path
env! aborts compilation of the specified environment variable is not
defined and takes an optional second argument containing a custom
error message. option_env! creates an Option<&'static str> containing
the value of the environment variable.
There are no run-pass tests that check the behavior when the environment
variable is defined since the test framework doesn't support setting
environment variables at compile time as opposed to runtime. However,
both env! and option_env! are used inside of rustc itself, which should
act as a sufficient test.
Fixes#2248.
When running rusti 32-bit tests from a 64-bit host, these errors came up frequently. My best idea as to what was happening is:
1. First, if you hash the same `int` value on 32-bit and 64-bit, you will get two different hashes.
2. In a cross-compile situation, let's say x86_64 is building an i686 library, all of the hashes will be 64-bit hashes.
3. Then let's say you use the i686 libraries and then attempt to link against the same i686 libraries, because you're calculating hashes with a 32-bit int instead of a 64-bit one, you'll have different hashes and you won't be able to find items in the metadata (the items were generated with a 64-bit int).
This patch changes the items to always be hashed as an `i64` to preserve the hash value across architectures. Here's a nice before/after for this patch of the state of rusti tests
```
host target before after
64 64 yes yes
64 32 no no (llvm assertion)
32 64 no yes
32 32 no no (llvm assertion)
```
Basically one case started working, but currently when the target is 32-bit LLVM is having a lot of problems generating code. That's another separate issue though.
env! aborts compilation of the specified environment variable is not
defined and takes an optional second argument containing a custom
error message. option_env! creates an Option<&'static str> containing
the value of the environment variable.
There are no run-pass tests that check the behavior when the environment
variable is defined since the test framework doesn't support setting

act as a sufficient test.
