This commit performs another pass over the `std::char` module for stabilization.
Some minor cleanup is performed such as migrating documentation from libcore to
libunicode (where the `std`-facing trait resides) as well as a slight
reorganiation in libunicode itself. Otherwise, the stability modifications made
are:
* `char::from_digit` is now stable
* `CharExt::is_digit` is now stable
* `CharExt::to_digit` is now stable
* `CharExt::to_{lower,upper}case` are now stable after being modified to return
an iterator over characters. While the implementation today has not changed
this should allow us to implement the full set of case conversions in unicode
where some characters can map to multiple when doing an upper or lower case
mapping.
* `StrExt::to_{lower,upper}case` was added as unstable for a convenience of not
having to worry about characters expanding to more characters when you just
want the whole string to get into upper or lower case.
This is a breaking change due to the change in the signatures of the
`CharExt::to_{upper,lower}case` methods. Code can be updated to use functions
like `flat_map` or `collect` to handle the difference.

Automatic has-same-types testing methodology can be found in #22501.
Because most of them don't work with `--pretty=typed`, compile-fail tests were manually audited.

This changes the type of some public constants/statics in libunicode.
Notably some `&'static &'static [(char, char)]` have changed
to `&'static [(char, char)]`. The regexp crate seems to be the
sole user of these, yet this is technically a [breaking-change]
Some function signatures have changed, so this is a [breaking-change].
In particular, radixes and numerical values of digits are represented by `u32` now.
Part of #22240
Now that associated types are fully implemented the iterator adaptors only need
type parameters which are associated with actual storage. All other type
parameters can either be derived from these (e.g. they are an associated type)
or can be bare on the `impl` block itself.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of type parameters on these
iterator adaptors, but code can fairly easily migrate by just deleting the
relevant type parameters for each adaptor. Other behavior should not be
affected.
Closes#21839

This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system to a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.
Closes#16678
