This pull request removes `ParamBounds` a old holdover in the type checker that we (@nikomatsakis and I) had wanted to remove. I'm not sure if the current form is the best possible refactor but I figured we can use this as a place to discuss it.

It now says '#[feature] may not be used on the stable release channel'.
I had to convert this error from a lint to a normal compiler error.
I left the lint previously-used for this in place since removing it is
a breaking change. It will just go unused until the end of time.
Fixes#24125
Expand the "givens" set to cover transitive relations. The givens array
stores relationships like `'c <= '0` (where `'c` is a free region and
`'0` is an inference variable) that are derived from closure
arguments. These are (rather hackily) ignored for purposes of inference,
preventing spurious errors. The current code did not handle transitive
cases like `'c <= '0` and `'0 <= '1`. Fixes#24085.

*But* I am not sure whether this fix will have a compile-time hit. I'd like to push to try branch observe cycle times.
Pre-requisite for splitting the type context into global and local parts.
The `Repr` and `UserString` traits were also replaced by `Debug` and `Display`.

This commit shards the all-encompassing `core`, `std_misc`, `collections`, and `alloc` features into finer-grained components that are much more easily opted into and tracked. This reflects the effort to push forward current unstable APIs to either stabilization or removal. Keeping track of unstable features on a much more fine-grained basis will enable the library subteam to quickly analyze a feature and help prioritize internally about what APIs should be stabilized.
A few assorted APIs were deprecated along the way, but otherwise this change is just changing the feature name associated with each API. Soon we will have a dashboard for keeping track of all the unstable APIs in the standard library, and I'll also start making issues for each unstable API after performing a first-pass for stabilization.
When we successfully resolve a trait reference with no type/lifetime parameters, like `i32: Foo` or `Box<u32>: Sized`, this is in fact globally true. This patch adds a simple global to the tcx to cache such cases. The main advantage of this is really about caching things like `Box<Vec<Foo>>: Sized`. It also points to the need to revamp our caching infrastructure -- the current caches make selection cost cheaper, but we still wind up paying a high cost in the confirmation process, and in particular unrolling out dependent obligations. Moreover, we should probably do caching more uniformly and with a key that takes the where-clauses into account. But that's for later.
For me, this shows up as a reasonably nice win (20%) on Servo's script crate (when built in dev mode). This is not as big as my initial measurements suggested, I think because I was building my rustc with more debugging enabled at the time. I've not yet done follow-up profiling and so forth to see where the new hot spots are. Bootstrap times seem to be largely unaffected.

This is technically a [breaking-change] in that functions with unsatisfiable where-clauses may now yield errors where before they may have been accepted. Even before, these functions could never have been *called* by actual code. In the future, such functions will probably become illegal altogether, but in this commit they are still accepted, so long as they do not rely on the unsatisfiable where-clauses. As before, the functions still cannot be called in any case.
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
again, do it once and then just remember the expanded form. At the same
time, filter globally nameable predicates out of the environment, since
they can cause cache errors (and they are not necessary in any case).
that are known to have been satisfied *somewhere*. This means that if
one fn finds that `SomeType: Foo`, then every other fn can just consider
that to hold.
Unfortunately, there are some complications:
1. If `SomeType: Foo` includes dependent conditions, those conditions
may trigger an error. This error will be repored in the first fn
where `SomeType: Foo` is evaluated, but not in the other fns, which
can lead to uneven error reporting (which is sometimes confusing).
2. This kind of caching can be unsound in the presence of
unsatisfiable where clauses. For example, suppose that the first fn
has a where-clause like `i32: Bar<u32>`, which in fact does not
hold. This will "fool" trait resolution into thinking that `i32:
Bar<u32>` holds. This is ok currently, because it means that the
first fn can never be calle (since its where clauses cannot be
satisfied), but if the first fn's successful resolution is cached, it
can allow other fns to compile that should not. This problem is fixed
in the next commit.
