This is an implementation of [RFC 1030][rfc] which adds these traits to the
prelude and additionally removes all inherent `into_iter` methods on collections
in favor of the trait implementation (which is now accessible by default).
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1030
This is technically a breaking change due to the prelude additions and removal
of inherent methods, but it is expected that essentially no code breaks in
practice.

Closes#24538
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 979][rfc] which changes the meaning of
the count parameter to the `splitn` function on strings and slices. The
parameter now means the number of items that are returned from the iterator, not
the number of splits that are made.

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.
* Marks `#[stable]` the contents of the `std::convert` module.
* Added methods `PathBuf::as_path`, `OsString::as_os_str`,
`String::as_str`, `Vec::{as_slice, as_mut_slice}`.
* Deprecates `OsStr::from_str` in favor of a new, stable, and more
general `OsStr::new`.
* Adds unstable methods `OsString::from_bytes` and `OsStr::{to_bytes,
to_cstring}` for ergonomic FFI usage.

This commit revises `path` and `os_str` to use blanket impls for `From`
on reference types. This both cuts down on the number of required impls,
and means that you can pass through e.g. `T: AsRef<OsStr>` to
`PathBuf::from` without an intermediate call to `as_ref`.
It also makes a FIXME note for later generalizing the blanket impls for
`AsRef` and `AsMut` to use `Deref`/`DerefMut`, once it is possible to do
so.
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

It is a frequent pattern among I/O functions to take `P: AsPath + ?Sized` or
`AsOsStr` instead of `AsPath`. Most of these functions do not need to take
ownership of their argument, but for libraries in general it's much more
ergonomic to not deal with `?Sized` at all and simply require an argument `P`
instead of `&P`.
This change is aimed at removing unsightly `?Sized` bounds while retaining the
same level of usability as before. All affected functions now take ownership of
their arguments instead of taking them by reference, but due to the forwarding
implementations of `AsOsStr` and `AsPath` all code should continue to work as it
did before.
This is strictly speaking a breaking change due to the signatures of these
functions changing, but normal idiomatic usage of these APIs should not break in
practice.
[breaking-change]
This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` method is now `without_file` and succeeds if, and only
if, `file_name` is `Some(_)`. That means, in particular, that it fails
for a path like `foo/../`. This change affects `pop` as well.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.

well.
* The `Prefix` component now involves a separate `PrefixComponent`
struct, to better allow for keeping both parsed and unparsed prefix data.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.
Closes#23264
[breaking-change]
The two main sub-modules, `c_str` and `os_str`, have now had some time to bake
in the standard library. This commits performs a sweep over the modules adding
various stability tags.
The following APIs are now marked `#[stable]`
* `OsString`
* `OsStr`
* `OsString::from_string`
* `OsString::from_str`
* `OsString::new`
* `OsString::into_string`
* `OsString::push` (renamed from `push_os_str`, added an `AsOsStr` bound)
* various trait implementations for `OsString`
* `OsStr::from_str`
* `OsStr::to_str`
* `OsStr::to_string_lossy`
* `OsStr::to_os_string`
* various trait implementations for `OsStr`
* `CString`
* `CStr`
* `NulError`
* `CString::new` - this API's implementation may change as a result of
rust-lang/rfcs#912 but the usage of `CString::new(thing)` looks like it is
unlikely to change. Additionally, the `IntoBytes` bound is also likely to
change but the set of implementors for the trait will not change (despite the
trait perhaps being renamed).
* `CString::from_vec_unchecked`
* `CString::as_bytes`
* `CString::as_bytes_with_nul`
* `NulError::nul_position`
* `NulError::into_vec`
* `CStr::from_ptr`
* `CStr::as_ptr`
* `CStr::to_bytes`
* `CStr::to_bytes_with_nul`
* various trait implementations for `CStr`
The following APIs remain `#[unstable]`
* `OsStr*Ext` traits remain unstable as the organization of `os::platform` is
uncertain still and the traits may change location.
* `AsOsStr` remains unstable as generic conversion traits are likely to be
rethought soon.
The following APIs were deprecated
* `OsString::push_os_str` is now called `push` and takes `T: AsOsStr` instead (a
superset of the previous functionality).
This commit stabilizes `std::borrow`, making the following modifications
to catch up the API with language changes:
* It renames `BorrowFrom` to `Borrow`, as was originally intended (but
blocked for technical reasons), and reorders the parameters
accordingly.
* It moves the type parameter of `ToOwned` to an associated type. This
is somewhat less flexible, in that each borrowed type must have a
unique owned type, but leads to a significant simplification for
`Cow`. Flexibility can be regained by using newtyped slices, which is
advisable for other reasons anyway.
* It removes the owned type parameter from `Cow`, making the type much
less verbose.
* Deprecates the `is_owned` and `is_borrowed` predicates in favor of
direct matching.
The above API changes are relatively minor; the basic functionality
remains the same, and essentially the whole module is now marked
`#[stable]`.
