Clarify what a task is
Currently we call two distinct concepts "task":
1. The top-level future that is polled until completion
2. The lightweight "thread" that is responsible for polling the top-level future. What additional data beside the future is stored in this type varies between different `Executor` implementations.
I'd prefer to return to the old formulation by @alexcrichton:
```rust
/// A handle to a "task", which represents a single lightweight "thread" of
/// execution driving a future to completion.
pub struct Task {
```
Source: [`task_impl/mod.rs` in futures-rs 0.1](1328fc9e8a/src/task_impl/mod.rs (L49-L50))
I think that this change will make it much easier to explain everything.

As a driveby change, I made `#![feature(nll)]` *always* take
precedence over `-Z borrowck`. The main effect this had is that it
means tests with `#![feature(nll)]` will ignore uses of `-Z
borrowck=compare`. This affected only one test as far as I can tell,
and I think that test used `-Z borrowck=compare` only as a historical
accident.
Note that this test is carefully crafted to *try* to not segfault
during its run. Howver, it really is representing unsound code that
should be rejected after we manage to remove the AST-borrowck entirely
from the compiler.
Also convert an ICE that became reachable code under borrowck=migrate
into a normally reported error (which is then downgraded to a
warning). This actually has a nice side benefit of providing a
somewhat more useful error message, at least in the particular case of
the example from issue #27282.
This required a bit of plumbing to keep track of candidates. But I
took advantage of the hack session to try to improve the docs for the
relevant structs here.
(I also tried to simplify some of the related code in passing.)
Whenever we register a crate into the crate store, make sure to use the real
name mentioned in the metadata instead of the name mentioned in the `extern
crate` statement, as the statement can be wrong!
Closes#51796
- `dsp`: the subtarget supports the DSP (saturating arith. and such)
instructions
- `rclass`: target is a Cortex-R
Both features are useful to support ARM MCUs on `coresimd`.
Note: Cortex-R52 is the first Armv8-R with `neon` support
