This PR uses the inline error suggestions introduced in #24242 to modify a few existing `help` messages. The new errors look like this:
foobar.rs:5:12: 5:25 error: expected a path on the left-hand side of `+`,
not `&'static Copy` [E0178]
foobar.rs:5 let x: &'static Copy + 'static;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
foobar.rs:5:12: 5:35 help: try adding parentheses (per RFC 438):
foobar.rs: let x: &'static (Copy + 'static);
foobar.rs:2:13: 2:23 error: cast to unsized type: `&_` as `core::marker::Copy`
foobar.rs:2 let x = &1 as Copy;
^~~~~~~~~~
foobar.rs:2:19: 2:23 help: try casting to a reference instead:
foobar.rs: let x = &1 as &Copy;
foobar.rs:7:24: 7:25 error: expected expression, found `;`
foobar.rs:7 let x = box (1 + 1);
^
foobar.rs:7:13: 7:16 help: try using `box()` instead:
foobar.rs: let x = box() (1 + 1);
This also modifies compiletest to give the ability to directly test suggestions given by error messages.
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

PR #24242 added the ability to the compiler to directly give suggestions about
how to modify code to fix an error. The new errors look like this:

not `&'static Copy` [E0178]

- Functions in parser.rs return PResult<> rather than panicing
- Other functions in libsyntax call panic! explicitly for now if they rely on panicing behaviour.
- 'panictry!' macro added as scaffolding while converting panicing functions.
(This does the same as 'unwrap()' but is easier to grep for and turn into try!())
- Leaves panicing wrappers for the following functions so that the
quote_* macros behave the same:
- parse_expr, parse_item, parse_pat, parse_arm, parse_ty, parse_stmt
This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.

Previously 0b12 was considered two tokens, 0b1 and 2, as 2 isn't a valid
base 2 digit. This patch changes that to collapse them into one (and
makes `0b12` etc. an error: 2 isn't a valid base 2 digit).
This may break some macro invocations of macros with `tt` (or syntax
extensions) that rely on adjacent digits being separate tokens and hence
is a
[breaking-change]
The fix is to separate the tokens, e.g. `0b12` -> `0b1 2`.

This commit removes parser support for `extern crate "foo" as bar` as the
renamed crate is now required to be an identifier. Additionally this commit
enables hard errors on crate names that contain hyphens in them, they must now
solely contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
If the crate name is inferred from the file name, however, the file name
`foo-bar.rs` will have the crate name inferred as `foo_bar`. If a binary is
being emitted it will have the name `foo-bar` and a library will have the name
`libfoo_bar.rlib`.
This commit is a breaking change for a number of reasons:
* Old syntax is being removed. This was previously only issuing warnings.
* The output for the compiler when input is received on stdin is now `rust_out`
instead of `rust-out`.
* The crate name for a crate in the file `foo-bar.rs` is now `foo_bar` which can
affect infrastructure such as logging.

The compiler will now issue a warning for crates that have syntax of the form
`extern crate "foo" as bar`, but it will still continue to accept this syntax.
Additionally, the string `foo-bar` will match the crate name `foo_bar` to assist
in the transition period as well.
This patch will land hopefully in tandem with a Cargo patch that will start
translating all crate names to have underscores instead of hyphens.

This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.

* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
