Before this change, encoding an object containing a codemap::span
using the JSON encodeng produced invalid JSON, for instance:
[{"span":,"global":false,"idents":["abc"]}]
Since the decoder for codemap::span's ignores its argument, I
conjecture that this will not damage decoding, and should improve
it for many decoders.
This is done in two steps:
First, we make foreign functions not consider modes at all. This is because previously ++ mode was the only way to pass structs to foreign functions and so forth. We also add a lint mode warning if you use `&&` mode in a foreign function, since the semantics of that change (it used to pass a pointer to the C function, now it doesn't).
Then, we remove by value and make it equivalent to `+` mode. At the same time, we stop parsing `-` mode and convert all uses of it to `+` mode (it was already being parsed to `+` mode anyhow).
This obsoletes pull request #5298.

adjusting a few foreign functions that were declared with by-ref
mode. This also allows us to remove by-val mode in the near future.
With copy mode, though, we have to be careful because Rust will implicitly pass
somethings by pointer but this may not be the C ABI rules. For example, rust
will pass a struct Foo as a Foo*. So I added some code into the adapters to
fix this (though the C ABI rules may put the pointer back, oh well).
This patch also includes a lint mode for the use of by-ref mode
in foreign functions as the semantics of this have changed.
Continuing #5140
For the sake of getting this merged I've disabled debuginfo tests on mac (where running gdb needs root). Please feel free to follow up with further improvements.

This removes `log` from the language. Because we can't quite implement it as a syntax extension (probably need globals at the least) it simply renames the keyword to `__log` and hides it behind macros.
After this the only way to log is with `debug!`, `info!`, etc. I figure that if there is demand for `log!` we can add it back later.
I am not sure that we ever agreed on this course of action, though I *think* there is consensus that `log` shouldn't be a statement.
