This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

ASan and TSan are supported on macOS, and this commit enables their
support.
The sanitizers are always built as *.dylib on Apple platforms, so they
cannot be statically linked into the corresponding `rustc_?san.rlib`. The
dylibs are directly copied to `lib/rustlib/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/`
instead.
Note, although Xcode also ships with their own copies of ASan/TSan dylibs,
we cannot use them due to version mismatch.
There is a caveat: the sanitizer libraries are linked as @rpath, so the
user needs to additionally pass `-C rpath`:
rustc -Z sanitizer=address -C rpath file.rs
^~~~~~~~
Otherwise there will be a runtime error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libclang_rt.asan_osx_dynamic.dylib
Referenced from: /path/to/executable
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
The next commit includes a temporary change in compiler to force the linker
to emit a usable @rpath.
Now that we've also updated cargo's release process this commit also changes the
download location of Cargo from Cargos archives back to the static.r-l.o
archives. This should ensure that the Cargo download is the exact Cargo paired
with the rustc that we release.
