Rationale: some ISAs, e.g. OR1K, do not have atomic instructions
for byte and halfword access, and at the same time do not have
a fixed endianness, which makes it unreasonable to implement these
through word-sized atomic accesses.
Prevent where < ident > from parsing.
In order to be forward compatible with `where<'a>` syntax for higher
rank parameters, prevent potential conflicts with UFCS from parsing
correctly for the near term.
Disable field reordering
This was decided via IRC and needs a backport to beta. Basically, #37429 broke servo, and probably needs an announcement and opt-in flag. I didn't run all tests locally but think I've already reverted all the ones that need to be reverted.

Allow legacy custom derive authors to disable warnings in downstream crates
This PR allows legacy custom derive authors to use a pre-deprecated method `registry.register_custom_derive()` instead of `registry.register_syntax_extension()` to avoid downstream deprecation warnings.

Redox Cross Compilation
I will admit - there are things here that I wish I did not have to do. This completes the ability to create a cross compiler from the rust repository for `x86_64-unknown-redox`. I will document this PR with inline comments explaining some things.
[View this gist to see how a cross compiler is built](https://gist.github.com/jackpot51/6680ad973986e84d69c79854249f2b7e)
Prior discussion of a smaller change is here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/38366
Refactor global paths
This PR removes the field `global: bool` from `ast::Path` and `hir::Path`, instead representing a global path `::foo::bar` as `{{root}}::foo::bar`, where `{{root}}` is a virtual keyword `keywords::CrateRoot`.
Also, fixes#38016.

Delete the llvm submodule lockfile when configuring on the bots
This should fix the periodic error that .git/modules/src/llvm/index.lock
exists on the mac slaves.
The Markdown engine used by the book can cope with a single leading space
on the list marker:
Like this:
* List item
Rather than like this:
* List item
… but it’s not the typical convention employed in the book, and moreover
the Markdown engine used for producing the error index *can’t* cope with
it (its behaviour looks like a bug, as it appears to lose one of the two
line breaks as well, but that’s immaterial here).
So, we shift to a single convention which doesn’t trigger bugs in the
Markdown renderer.
