This in theory enables uncommenting IndexMut implementations, but upon doing so
the compiler immediately segfaulted in stage1, so I'll leave those to a later
time.
I'm rotating in some CentOS 5.10 bots so we *actually* build on Linux 2.6.18
like we advertise doing so. Currently the snapshots are incompatible with CentOS
5.10 due to snapshots requiring glibc 2.6 and CentOS 5.10 having glibc 2.5.
It turns out that rustc only requires *one* symbol from glibc 2.6, which is
`futimens`. The rust distribution itself does not use this symbol, but LLVM
conditionally detects it and then uses it. This symbol isn't even called as part
of the compilation process, so we don't even need it!
The new snapshot was generated following these instructions [1]:
1. Download the current x86_64 linux snapshot and unpack it.
2. Open the rustc binary in a hex editor.
3. Change the linkage against glibc 2.6 from strong to *weak*
4. Write changes and re-run src/etc/make-snapshot.py
5. Upload new tarball to S3
On CentOS 5.10 a warning is printed each time the snapshot runs that the symbol
cannot be found (anyone with glibc 2.6+ does not have this warning printed). The
key part is that we can *bootstrap* on CentOS 5.10 at this point. The next
snapshot will be naturally compatible with glibc 2.3 (even older!) and will not
need to be manually edited.

This change starts denying `*T` in the parser. All code using `*T` should ensure
that the FFI call does indeed take `const T*` on the other side before renaming
the type to `*const T`.
Otherwise, all code can rename `*T` to `*const T`.
[breaking-change]
Replace its usage with byte string literals, except in `bytes!()` tests.
Also add a new snapshot, to be able to use the new b"foo" syntax.
The src/etc/2014-06-rewrite-bytes-macros.py script automatically
rewrites `bytes!()` invocations into byte string literals.
Pass it filenames as arguments to generate a diff that you can inspect,
or `--apply` followed by filenames to apply the changes in place.
Diffs can be piped into `tip` or `pygmentize -l diff` for coloring.
