RFC 2070 part 1: PanicInfo and Location API changes
This implements part of https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2070-panic-implementation.html
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44489
* Move `std::panic::PanicInfo` and `std::panic::Location` to a new `core::panic` module. The two types and the `std` module were already `#[stable]` and stay that way, the new `core` module is `#[unstable]`.
* Add a new `PanicInfo::message(&self) -> Option<&fmt::Arguments>` method, which is `#[unstable]`.
* Implement `Display` for `PanicInfo` and `Location`
Don't promote to 'static the result of dereferences.
This is a **breaking change**, removing copies out of dereferences from rvalue-to-`'static` promotion.
With miri we won't easily know whether the dereference itself would see the same value at runtime as miri (e.g. after mutating a `static`) or even if it can be interpreted (e.g. integer pointers).
One alternative to this ban is defining at least *some* of those situations as UB, i.e. you shouldn't have a reference in the first place, and you should work through raw pointers instead, to avoid promotion.
**EDIT**: The other *may seem* to be to add some analysis which whitelists references-to-constant-values and assume any values produced by arbitrary computation to not be safe to promote dereferences thereof - but that means producing a reference from an associated constant or `const fn` would necessarily obscure it, and in the former case, this could still impact code that runs on stable today. What we do today to track "references to statics" only works because we restrict taking a reference to a `static` at all to other `static`s (which, again, are currently limited in that they can't be read at compile-time) and to runtime-only `fn`s (*not* `const fn`s).
I'm primarily opening this PR with a conservative first approximation (e.g. `&(*r).a` is not allowed, only reborrows are, and in the old borrow only implicit ones from adjustments, at that) for cratering.

Remove "empty buffer" doc in read_until
This appears copied from fill_buf, but the above paragraph already indicates that a lack of delimiter at the end is EOF.
Primitive docs relevant
This fixes the documentation to show the right types in the examples for many integer methods.
I need to check if the result is correct before we merge.
add unit tests for rustdoc's processing of doctests
cc #42018
There's a lot of things that rustdoc will do to massage doctests into something that can be compiled, and a lot of options that can be toggled to affect this. Hopefully this list of tests can show off that functionality.
The first commit is slightly unrelated but doesn't touch public functionality, because i found that if you have a manual `fn main`, it adds an extra line break at the end, whereas it would trim this extra line break if it were putting a `fn main` in automatically. That first commit makes it trim out that whitespace ahead of time.
This is the ideal FileType on Windows. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Theoretically this would fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46484
The current iteration of this PR should not cause existing code to break, but instead merely improves handling around reparse points. Specifically...
* Reparse points are considered to be symbolic links if they have the name surrogate bit set. Name surrogates are reparse points that effectively act like symbolic links, redirecting you to a different directory/file. By checking for this bit instead of specific tags, we become much more general in our handling of reparse points, including those added by third parties.
* If something is a reparse point but does not have the name surrogate bit set, then we ignore the fact that it is a reparse point because it is actually a file or directory directly there, despite having additional handling by drivers due to the reparse point.
* For everything which is not a symbolic link (including non-surrogate reparse points) we report whether it is a directory or a file based on the presence of the directory attribute bit.
* Notably this still preserves invariant that when `is_symlink` returns `true`, both `is_dir` and `is_file` will return `false`. The potential for breakage was far too high.
* Adds an unstable `FileTypeExt` to allow users to determine whether a symbolic link is a directory or a file, since `FileType` by design is incapable of reporting this information.
Add a `fatal_cycle` attribute for queries which indicates that they will cause a fatal error on query cycles
This moves us towards the goal of having cycle errors be non-fatal by not relying on the default implementation of `ty::maps::values::Value` which aborts on errors.

Is it really time? Have our months, no, *years* of suffering come to an end? Are we finally able to cast off the pall of Hoedown? The weight which has dragged us down for so long?
-----
So, timeline for those who need to catch up:
* Way back in December 2016, [we decided we wanted to switch out the markdown renderer](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/38400). However, this was put on hold because the build system at the time made it difficult to pull in dependencies from crates.io.
* A few months later, in March 2017, [the first PR was done, to switch out the renderers entirely](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/40338). The PR itself was fraught with CI and build system issues, but eventually landed.
* However, not all was well in the Rustdoc world. During the PR and shortly after, we noticed [some differences in the way the two parsers handled some things](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/40912), and some of these differences were major enough to break the docs for some crates.
* A couple weeks afterward, [Hoedown was put back in](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41290), at this point just to catch tests that Pulldown was "spuriously" running. This would at least provide some warning about spurious tests, rather than just breaking spontaneously.
* However, the problems had created enough noise by this point that just a few days after that, [Hoedown was switched back to the default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41431) while we came up with a solution for properly warning about the differences.
* That solution came a few weeks later, [as a series of warnings when the HTML emitted by the two parsers was semantically different](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41991). But that came at a cost, as now rustdoc needed proc-macro support (the new crate needed some custom derives farther down its dependency tree), and the build system was not equipped to handle it at the time. It was worked on for three months as the issue stumped more and more people.
* In that time, [bootstrap was completely reworked](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/43059) to change how it ordered compilation, and [the method by which it built rustdoc would change](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/43482), as well. This allowed it to only be built after stage1, when proc-macros would be available, allowing the "rendering differences" PR to finally land.
* The warnings were not perfect, and revealed a few [spurious](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44368) [differences](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45421) between how we handled the renderers.
* Once these were handled, [we flipped the switch to turn on the "rendering difference" warnings all the time](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45324), in October 2017. This began the "warning cycle" for this change, and landed in stable in 1.23, on 2018-01-04.
* Once those warnings hit stable, and after a couple weeks of seeing whether we would get any more reports than what we got from sitting on nightly/beta, [we switched the renderers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47398), making Pulldown the default but still offering the option to use Hoedown.
And that brings us to the present. We haven't received more new issues from this in the meantime, and the "switch by default" is now on beta. Our reasoning is that, at this point, anyone who would have been affected by this has run into it already.
