This adds a new diagnostic writer `AnnotateRsEmitterWriter` that uses
the [`annotate-snippet`][as] library to print out the human readable
diagnostics.
The goal is to eventually switch over to using the library instead of
maintaining our own diagnostics output.
This commit does *not* add all the required features to the new
diagnostics writer. It is only meant as a starting point so that other
people can contribute as well.

This crate moves the compiler's error reporting to using the `termcolor` crate
from crates.io. Previously rustc used a super-old version of the `term` crate
in-tree which is basically unmaintained at this point, but Cargo has been using
`termcolor` for some time now and tools like `rg` are using `termcolor` as well,
so it seems like a good strategy to take!
Note that the `term` crate remains in-tree for libtest. Changing libtest will be
a bit tricky due to how the build works, but we can always tackle that later.

This commit is a rewrite of the user-facing interface to the rustbuild build
system. The intention here is to make it much easier to compile/test the project
without having to remember weird rule names and such. An overall view of the new
interface is:
# build everything
./x.py build
# document everyting
./x.py doc
# test everything
./x.py test
# test libstd
./x.py test src/libstd
# build libcore stage0
./x.py build src/libcore --stage 0
# run stage1 run-pass tests
./x.py test src/test/run-pass --stage 1
The `src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py` script is now aliased as a top-level `x.py`
script. This `x` was chosen to be both short and easily tab-completable (no
collisions in that namespace!). The build system now accepts a "subcommand" of
what to do next, the main ones being build/doc/test.
Each subcommand then receives an optional list of arguments. These arguments are
paths in the source repo of what to work with. That is, if you want to test a
directory, you just pass that directory as an argument.
The purpose of this rewrite is to do away with all of the arcane renames like
"rpass" is the "run-pass" suite, "cfail" is the "compile-fail" suite, etc. By
simply working with directories and files it's much more intuitive of how to run
a test (just pass it as an argument).
The rustbuild step/dependency management was also rewritten along the way to
make this easy to work with and define, but that's largely just a refactoring of
what was there before.
The *intention* is that this support is extended for arbitrary files (e.g.
`src/test/run-pass/my-test-case.rs`), but that isn't quite implemented just yet.
Instead directories work for now but we can follow up with stricter path
filtering logic to plumb through all the arguments.
