This PR changes the `emit_opaque` and `read_opaque` methods in the RBML library to use a space-efficient binary encoder that does not emit any tags and uses the LEB128 variable-length integer format for all numbers it emits.
The space savings are nice, albeit a bit underwhelming, especially for dynamic libraries where metadata is already compressed.

At least this should make up for the size increase caused recently by also storing MIR in crate metadata.
Can this be a breaking change for anyone?

Since `darwin` is really `apple-darwin`, the valgrind-rpass tests were not actually being run with valgrind on mac before. Also, the `HOST` check was completely wrong.

This hairy conditional doesn't need to be so. It _does_ need to be a
thin pointer, otherwise, it will fail to compile, so let's pull that out
into a temporary for future readers of the source.

The previous version using `PartialOrd::le` was broken since it passed `T` arguments where `&T` was expected.
It makes sense to use primitive comparisons since range patterns can only be used with chars and numeric types.

The current help message is too much about "normal" macros to be used
as general message. Keep it for normal macros, and add custom help and
error messages for macro definitions.

Also, after a discussion with @pnkfelix and @gankro, we don't need these
null checks anymore, as zero-on-drop has been gone for a while now.

Rewrite of a paragraph in in the `match` section.
The colon `:` should be used only when the sentence preceeding it is a
complete sentence. If this is not the case, then a `;` should be used;
this denotes that the following fragment is a part of the previous
fragment.
I got a new bike; it has two wheels. (Similar to I got a new bike, it has two wheels)
The ice cream truck has great flavours; blueberry, blackberry, berryberry.
Writing a complete sentence:
- with a list under it
- You can join two sentences with it: Much like this.

The current explanation for scan() is not very clear as to how it works, especially when it compares itself to fold().
I believe these changes makes it all a bit more clear for the reader, and makes it easier to understand the example code.

This PR siliences some warnings when compiling stdlib with --test. Mostly remove some unused imports and added a few `#[allow(..)]`.
I also marked some signal handling functions with `#[cfg(not(test))]`, because they are only called through `rt::lang_start`, which is also marked as `#[cfg(not(test))]`
Previously, all references to closure arguments went to the argument before the
one they should (e.g. to arg1 when it was supposed to be arg2). This was because
the MIR builder did not account for the implicit arguments that come before the
explicit arguments, and closures have one implicit argument - the struct
containing the captures.
When using `cc` for linking rustc will, if gold is available (by looking for `/usr/bin/ld.gold`), pass `-fuse-ld=gold` to `cc`.
In some scenarios gold links much faster than ld. Servo uses it to considerably speed up linking. gold behaves nearly identically to ld (though I think there are rare corner cases that don't work still). I've run this through crater and everything there continues to link.
To disable, pass `-C disable-gold`.
