Document try!'s error conversion behaviour
try!'s documentation currently doesn't document the error conversion behaviour of the macro. This patch extends the documentation.
Open questions:
* is it worthwhile to have seperate examples with and without wrapping behaviour? It's not immediately obvious that From<T> for T is always defined. Though this is necessary for the macro to work in any case, is this the place to expect that knowledge.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1681] which adds support to the
compiler for first-class user-define custom `#[derive]` modes with a far more
stable API than plugins have today.
[RFC 1681]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1681-macros-1.1.md
The main features added by this commit are:
* A new `rustc-macro` crate-type. This crate type represents one which will
provide custom `derive` implementations and perhaps eventually flower into the
implementation of macros 2.0 as well.
* A new `rustc_macro` crate in the standard distribution. This crate will
provide the runtime interface between macro crates and the compiler. The API
here is particularly conservative right now but has quite a bit of room to
expand into any manner of APIs required by macro authors.
* The ability to load new derive modes through the `#[macro_use]` annotations on
other crates.
All support added here is gated behind the `rustc_macro` feature gate, both for
the library support (the `rustc_macro` crate) as well as the language features.
There are a few minor differences from the implementation outlined in the RFC,
such as the `rustc_macro` crate being available as a dylib and all symbols are
`dlsym`'d directly instead of having a shim compiled. These should only affect
the implementation, however, not the public interface.
This commit also ended up touching a lot of code related to `#[derive]`, making
a few notable changes:
* Recognized derive attributes are no longer desugared to `derive_Foo`. Wasn't
sure how to keep this behavior and *not* expose it to custom derive.
* Derive attributes no longer have access to unstable features by default, they
have to opt in on a granular level.
* The `derive(Copy,Clone)` optimization is now done through another "obscure
attribute" which is just intended to ferry along in the compiler that such an
optimization is possible. The `derive(PartialEq,Eq)` optimization was also
updated to do something similar.
---
One part of this PR which needs to be improved before stabilizing are the errors
and exact interfaces here. The error messages are relatively poor quality and
there are surprising spects of this such as `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, MyTrait)]`
not working by default. The custom attributes added by the compiler end up
becoming unstable again when going through a custom impl.
Hopefully though this is enough to start allowing experimentation on crates.io!

add mips64-gnu and mips64el-gnu targets
With this commit one can build no_core (and probably no_std as well)
Rust programs for these targets. It's not yet possible to cross compile
std for these targets because rust-lang/libc doesn't know about the
mips64 architecture.
These targets have been tested by cross compiling the "smallest hello"
program (see code below) and then running it under QEMU.
``` rust
extern {
fn puts(_: *const u8);
}
fn start(_: isize, _: *const *const u8) -> isize {
unsafe {
let msg = b"Hello, world!\0";
puts(msg as *const _ as *const u8);
}
0
}
trait Copy {}
trait Sized {}
```

The cabi stuff is likely wrong. I just copied cabi_mips source and changed some `4`s to `8`s and `32`s to `64`s. It was enough to get libc's `puts` to work but I'd like someone familiar with this module to check it.
implementing RFC 1623. This fixes#35897.
This is a work in progress. In particular, I want to add more tests,
especially the compile-fail test is very bare-bones.
Implement RFC 1560 behind `#![feature(item_like_imports)]`
This implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1560 (cc #35120) behind the `item_like_imports` feature gate.
The [RFC text](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1560-name-resolution.md#changes-to-name-resolution-rules) describes the changes to name resolution enabled by `#, it improves performance quite a bit:
| phase | before | after |
| ----- | ------ | ----- |
| collection | 0.79s | 0.46s |
| translation | 6.8s | 3.2s |
| total | 11.92s | 7.15s |

Allow specification of the system V AMD64 ABI constraint.
This can be specified using `extern "sysV64" fn` on all platforms.
This ABI is used as the C ABI on unix platforms, but can only be specified there using extern "C". It was impossible to specify on other platforms. Meanwhile the win64 ABI, which was the extern "C" ABI on the windows platform could be specified on other platforms using extern "win64".
This pull request adds the the "sysV64" ABI constraint which exposes this calling convention on platforms where it is not the C ABI.
