This commit adds a ./configure option called `--disable-elf-tls` which disables
ELF based TLS (that which is communicated to LLVM) on platforms which already
support it. OSX 10.6 does not support this form of TLS, and some users of Rust
need to target 10.6 and are unable to do so due to the usage of TLS. The
standard library will continue to use ELF based TLS on OSX by default (as the
officially supported platform is 10.7+), but this adds an option to compile the
standard library in a way that is compatible with 10.6.
Closes#25342
Mark Arc function get_mut and method make_unique unsafe
This is a temporary mitigation for issue #24880 which points out that
these functions are racy in a particular situation where weak pointers
exist.
To mitigate this, mark the functions unsafe until this can be fixed or
another decision is made.
The `HashMap` and `HashSet` iterators use `RawTable::first_bucket_raw` which is generic and will get inlined cross-crate.
However, `first_bucket_raw` calls `calculate_offsets` and the call doesn't get inlined, despite being a simple function.
This missing `#[inline]` results in `hash_table::calculate_offsets` showing up at the top of a callgrind profile with 3 million calls (for the testcase in #25916).

The doc indicates that you can replace 'before' with 'after' showing the use of try!. The two examples should be equivalent, but they are not.
In the File::create we were inducing a panic before in case of error, not propagating. It is important for newbies (like myself) to understand that try! propagates failures, while unwrap can induce a panic.
The other alternative is to make the 'before' File::create also manually handle Err like the other calls. Either way it would be consistent.

This is a breaking change to unstable API, because the new version
requires an `unsafe` block. Review carefully if weak pointers may race
for any uses of this API and consider abandoning it.

GDB and LLDB pretty printers have some common functionality
and also access some common information, such as the layout of
standard library types. So far, this information has been
duplicated in the two pretty printing python modules. This
commit introduces a common module used by both debuggers.
As mentioned in #25893 the copy trait is not very well explained for beginners. There is no clear mention that all primitive types implement the copy trait and there are not a lot of examples.
With this change I try to make it more visible and understandable for new users.
I myself have struggled with this, see [my question on stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30540419/why-are-booleans-copyable-even-though-the-documentation-doesnt-indicate-that). And I want to make it more transparent for others.
I filed issue #25893 but I thought that I could give it a shot myself to relieve some of the work from the devs :)
If it is not well written or there are some changes to be made before it can be merged, let me know.
Cheers,
Mathieu
