The `Float` trait methods will be usable as functions via UFCS, and
we came to a consensus to remove duplicate functions like this a long
time ago.
It does still make sense to keep the duplicate functions when the trait
methods are static, unless the decision to leave out the in-scope trait
name resolution for static methods changes.

This fixes some problems with
make verify-grammar
llnextgen still reports a lot of errors
FYI: My build directory /my-test/build is different from the source directory /my-test/rust.

Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that
can be safely copied. However, this term is not consistent with the
other built-in bounds that use verbs instead. This patch renames the Pod
kind into Copy.
RFC: 0003-opt-in-builtin-traits
Test Plan: make check

When calling
make verify-grammar
a lot of errors are reported by llnextgen.
Only simple errors like:
missing semicolons,
missing single quotes,
usage of parentheses instead of squared brackets or
usage of single quote instead of double quote
are fixed by this patch.
This can only be tested, when llnextgen is installed.

When calling
make verify-grammar
or when llnextgen is not installed:
python2.7 src/etc/extract_grammar.py <src/doc/rust.md
an error is reported by extract_grammar.py that the
keyword "crate" is not defined.
This patch adds the keyword "crate" to the grammar in rust.md.

* cross-reference named lifetimes in tutorial -> lifetimes guide
* Broke named lifetimes section into two sub-sections.
* Added mention of `'static` lifetime.
* Remove clone-ability from all primitives. All shared state will now come
from the usage of the primitives being shared, not the primitives being
inherently shareable. This allows for fewer allocations for stack-allocated
primitives.
* Add `Mutex<T>` and `RWLock<T>` which are stack-allocated primitives for purely
wrapping a piece of data
* Remove `RWArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<RWLock<T>>`
* Remove `MutexArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<Mutex<T>>`
* Shuffle around where things are located
* The `arc` module now only contains `Arc`
* A new `lock` module contains `Mutex`, `RWLock`, and `Barrier`
* A new `raw` module contains the primitive implementations of `Semaphore`,
`Mutex`, and `RWLock`
* The Deref/DerefMut trait was implemented where appropriate
* `CowArc` was removed, the functionality is now part of `Arc` and is tagged
with `#[experimental]`.
* The crate now has #[deny(missing_doc)]
* `Arc` now supports weak pointers
This is not a large-scale rewrite of the functionality contained within the
`sync` crate, but rather a shuffling of who does what an a thinner hierarchy of
ownership to allow for better composability.
While double-checking my understanding of the meaning of `'static`,
I made the following test program:
```rust
fn foo<X:'static>(_x: X) { }
#[cfg(not(acceptable))]
fn bar() {
let a = 3;
let b = &a;
foo(b);
}
#[cfg(acceptable)]
fn bar() {
static c : int = 4;;
let d : &'static int = &c;
foo(d);
}
fn main() {
bar();
}
```
Transcript of compiling above program, illustrating that the `--cfg
acceptable` variant of `bar` compiles successfully, showing that the
`'static` kind bound only disallows non-`static` references, not *all*
references:
```
% rustc --version

% rustc /tmp/s.rs
/tmp/s.rs:7:5: 7:8 error: instantiating a type parameter with an incompatible type `&int`, which does not fulfill `'static`
/tmp/s.rs:7 foo(b);
^~~
error: aborting due to previous error
% rustc --cfg acceptable /tmp/s.rs
% ./s
%
```
(Note that the explicit type annotation on `let d : &'static int` is
necessary; it did not suffice for me to just write `let d = &'static
c;`. That might be a latent bug, I am not sure yet.)
Anyway, a fix to the documentation seemed prudent.

This commit switches over the backtrace infrastructure from piggy-backing off
the RUST_LOG environment variable to using the RUST_BACKTRACE environment
variable (logging is now disabled in libstd).
This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

docs: begin a "low-level & unsafe code" guide.
This aims to cover the basics of writing safe unsafe code. At the moment
it is just designed to be a better place for the `asm!()` docs than the
detailed release notes wiki page, and I took the time to write up some
other things.
More examples are needed, especially of things that can subtly go wrong;
and vast areas of `unsafe`-ty aren't covered, e.g. `static mut`s and
thread-safety in general.

The `Float` trait provides correct `min` and `max` methods on floating
point types, providing a consistent result regardless of the order the
parameters are passed.
These generic functions do not take the necessary performance hit to
correctly support a partial order, so the true requirement should be
given as a type bound.
