This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.

More descriptive comments can be found throughout the code, but the bulk of this is that it addresses a vast number of issues with the old rusti model.
Closes#6772, #5675, #5469, and #6617
I would appreciate if someone could help out with the Windows code on this pull request. I tried to test it using WINE but I couldn't figure out a way to set that up.
Fixes#5048.
I'm sure this reduces memory usage, but I can't get cgroups to work properly to actually measure memory. (It doesn't appear to offer much speed improvement, but I'm fairly sure it's not slower.)
This is quite huge, so it'd be nice to get a resolution soon.
This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
I was making documentation for my own little Rust project, and I was somewhat unhappy with how the documentation looked. While many of the issues are endemic to how rustdoc generates its output, you can get pretty far in making the documentation readable by using a better CSS style.
This commit alters the CSS style used in Rust's documentation in order to make the various sections stand out more. You can see an example of its usage in my own project's documentation: http://siegelord.github.io/RustGnuplot/#implementation-for-figureself-where-self. I showed it to some people on IRC and they suggested that I make a pull request here. I tested it on the only browser that matters, but also Chrome and Opera.
There are now only half-a-dozen or so functions left `std::str` that should be methods.
Highlights:
- `.substr` was removed, since most of the uses of it in the code base were actually incorrect (it had a weird mixing of a byte index and a unicode character count), adding `.slice_chars` if one wants to handle characters, and the normal `.slice` method to handle bytes.
- Code duplication between the two impls for `connect` and `concat` was removed via a new `Str` trait, that is purely designed to allow an explicit -> `&str` conversion (`.as_slice()`)
- Deconfuse the 5 different functions for converting to `[u8]` (3 of which had actually incorrect documentation: implying that they didn't have the null terminator), into 3: `as_bytes` (all strings), `as_bytes_with_null` (`&'static str`, `@str` and `~str`) and `as_bytes_with_null_consume` (`~str`). None of these allocate, unlike the old versions.
(cc @thestinger)
The Str trait collects the various strings types and provides a method
for coercing to a slice, so that functions and impls can be written for
generic types containing strings (e.g. &[~str], &[&str], ...) without
having to write one for each string type (assuming that the impl only
needs a slice).
