The current docs are a bit inconsistent. First, change all references of "recover" to "catch_unwind" because the function was renamed. Second, consistently use the term "unwind safe" instead of "panic safe", "exception safe" and "recover safe" (all these terms were used previously).
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1513] which allows applications to
alter the behavior of panics at compile time. A new compiler flag, `-C panic`,
is added and accepts the values `unwind` or `panic`, with the default being
`unwind`. This model affects how code is generated for the local crate, skipping
generation of landing pads with `-C panic=abort`.
[RFC 1513]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md
Panic implementations are then provided by crates tagged with
`#![panic_runtime]` and lazily required by crates with
`#![needs_panic_runtime]`. The panic strategy (`-C panic` value) of the panic
runtime must match the final product, and if the panic strategy is not `abort`
then the entire DAG must have the same panic strategy.
With the `-C panic=abort` strategy, users can expect a stable method to disable
generation of landing pads, improving optimization in niche scenarios,
decreasing compile time, and decreasing output binary size. With the `-C
panic=unwind` strategy users can expect the existing ability to isolate failure
in Rust code from the outside world.
Organizationally, this commit dismantles the `sys_common::unwind` module in
favor of some bits moving part of it to `libpanic_unwind` and the rest into the
`panicking` module in libstd. The custom panic runtime support is pretty similar
to the custom allocator support with the only major difference being how the
panic runtime is injected (takes the `-C panic` flag into account).
This commit applies all stabilizations, renamings, and deprecations that the
library team has decided on for the upcoming 1.9 release. All tracking issues
have gone through a cycle-long "final comment period" and the specific APIs
stabilized/deprecated are:

Make AssertRecoverSafe's field public
It's basically the very definition of a newtype, so we might as well
make things easy on people and let them construct and access it
directly.

Types like `&AssertRecoverSafe<T>` and `Rc<AssertRecoverSafe<T>>` were
mistakenly not considered recover safe, but the point of the assertion wrapper
is that it indeed is! This was caused by an interaction between the
`RecoverSafe` and `NoUnsafeCell` marker traits, and this is updated by adding an
impl of the `NoUnsafeCell` marker trait for `AssertRecoverSafe` to ensure that
it never interacts with the other negative impls of `RecoverSafe`.
