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.

The previous syntax was `Foo:Bound<trait-parameters>`, but this is a little
ambiguous because it was being parsed as `Foo: (Bound<trait-parameters)` rather
than `Foo: (Bound) <trait-parameters>`
This commit changes the syntax to `Foo<trait-parameters>: Bound` in order to be
clear where the trait parameters are going.
Closes#9265
This change prepares `rustc` to accept private fields by default. These changes will have to go through a snapshot before the rest of the changes can happen.

Add some docs to ExpnInfo. Add a single overlooked `new_span` call to the folder (I'm pretty sure nothing reads this span, though, so it's probably pointless).
This change is in preparation for #8122. Nothing is currently done with these
visibility qualifiers, they are just parsed and accepted by the compiler.

This was leaving Decls without the new spans; this is a minor change,
since literally nothing reads in the code base reads the span of a Decl
itself, always just its contents.
syntax: allow `trace_macros!` and `log_syntax!` in item position.
Previously
trace_macros!(true)
fn main() {}
would complain about `trace_macros` being an expression macro in item
position. This is a pointless limitation, because the macro is purely
compile-time, with no runtime effect. (And similarly for log_syntax.)
This also changes the behaviour of `trace_macros!` very slightly, it
used to be equivalent to
macro_rules! trace_macros {
(true $($_x: tt)*) => { true };
(false $($_x: tt)*) => { false }
}
I.e. you could invoke it with arbitrary trailing arguments, which were
ignored. It is changed to accept only exactly `true` or `false` (with no
trailing arguments) and expands to `()`.
std: remove the `equals` method from `TotalEq`.
`TotalEq` is now just an assertion about the `Eq` impl of a
type (i.e. `==` is a total equality if a type implements `TotalEq`) so
the extra method is just confusing.
Also, a new method magically appeared as a hack to allow deriving to
assert that the contents of a struct/enum are also TotalEq, because the
deriving infrastructure makes it very hard to do anything but create a
trait method. (You didn't hear about this horrible work-around from me
:(.)

Replace syntax::opt_vec with syntax::owned_slice
The `owned_slice::OwnedSlice` is `(*T, uint)` (i.e. a direct equivalent to DSTs `~[T]`).
This shaves two words off the old OptVec type; and also makes substituting in other implementations easy, by removing all the mutation methods. (And also everything that's very rarely/never used.)
This is a stand-in until we have a saner `~[T]` type (i.e. a proper
owned slice). It's a library version of what `~[T]` will be, i.e. an
owned pointer and a length.

This is the first step to replacing OptVec with a new representation:
remove all mutability. Any mutations have to go via `Vec` and then make
to `OptVec`.
Many of the uses of OptVec are unnecessary now that Vec has no-alloc
emptiness (and have been converted to Vec): the only ones that really
need it are the AST and sty's (and so on) where there are a *lot* of
instances of them, and they're (mostly) immutable.
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

What this PR will do
================
- [x] Add Share kind and
- [x] Replace usages of Freeze with Share in bounds.
- [x] Add Unsafe<T> #12577
- [x] Forbid taking the address of a immutable static item with `Unsafe<T>` interior
What's left to do in a separate PR (after the snapshot)?
===========================================
- Remove `Freeze` completely
The pretty printer constitues an enormous amount of code, there's no reason for
it to be generic. This just least to a huge amount of metadata which isn't
necessary. Instead, this change migrates the pretty printer to using a trait
object instead.
Closes#12985
