The `Vec::truncate` method does not panic if the length argument is greater than
the vector's current length, but `String::truncate` will indeed panic. This
semantic difference can be a bit jarring (e.g. #32717), and after some
discussion the libs team concluded that although this can technically be a
breaking change it is almost undoubtedly not so in practice.
This commit changes the semantics of `String::truncate` to be a noop if
`new_len` is greater than the length of the current string.
Closes#32717

This is the name that was decided in rust-lang/rfcs#1152, and it's
better if we say “boxed str” for `Box<str>`.
The old name `String::into_boxed_slice` is deprecated.
With the latter is provided by the `From` conversion trait, the former is now completely redundant. Their code is identical. Let’s deprecate now and plan to remove in the next cycle. (It’s `#[unstable]`.)

`.drain(range)` is unstable and under feature(collections_drain).
This adds a safe way to remove any range of a String as efficiently as
possible.
As noted in the code, this drain iterator has none of the memory safety
issues of the vector version.
RFC tracking issue is #23055
This patch
1. renames libunicode to librustc_unicode,
2. deprecates several pieces of libunicode (see below), and
3. removes references to deprecated functions from
librustc_driver and libsyntax. This may change pretty-printed
output from these modules in cases involving wide or combining
characters used in filenames, identifiers, etc.
The following functions are marked deprecated:
1. char.width() and str.width():
--> use unicode-width crate
2. str.graphemes() and str.grapheme_indices():
--> use unicode-segmentation crate
3. str.nfd_chars(), str.nfkd_chars(), str.nfc_chars(), str.nfkc_chars(),
char.compose(), char.decompose_canonical(), char.decompose_compatible(),
char.canonical_combining_class():
--> use unicode-normalization crate
The meaning of each variant of this enum was somewhat ambiguous and it's uncler
that we wouldn't even want to add more enumeration values in the future. As a
result this error has been altered to instead become an opaque structure.
Learning about the "first invalid byte index" is still an unstable feature, but
the type itself is now stable.
This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
