Change to resolve and update compiler and libs for uses.
[breaking-change]
Enum variants are now in both the value and type namespaces. This means that
if you have a variant with the same name as a type in scope in a module, you
will get a name clash and thus an error. The solution is to either rename the
type or the variant.
The spans inside of these types were always None and never used. Pass
the expander function directly instead of wrapping it in one of these
types.

For convenience, the traits are implemented for the respective bare
functions. Change code from this:
```rust
ItemDecorator(some_function)
// or
ItemModifier(some_other_function)
```
to
```rust
ItemDecorator(box some_function)
// or
ItemModifier(box some_other_function)
```

In f1ad425199b0d89dab275a8c8f6f29a73d316f70, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.
However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.
In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to
change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically,
a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros
go into.
This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through
the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the
expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant
result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which
include macro definitions).
This shuffles things around a bit so that LIT_CHAR and co store an Ident
which is the original, unaltered literal in the source. When creating the AST,
unescape and postprocess them.
This changes how syntax extensions can work, slightly, but otherwise poses no
visible changes. To get a useful value out of one of these tokens, call
`parse::{char_lit, byte_lit, bin_lit, str_lit}`

The let-syntax expander is different in that it doesn't apply
a mark to its token trees before expansion. This is used
for macro_rules, and it's because macro_rules is essentially
MTWT's let-syntax. You don't want to mark before expand sees
let-syntax, because there's no "after" syntax to mark again.
In some sense, the cleaner approach might be to introduce a new
AST node that macro_rules expands into; this would make it clearer
that the expansion of a macro is distinct from the addition of a
new macro binding.
This should work for now, though...
This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

Currently, the format_args!() macro takes as its first argument an expression
which is the callee of an ExprCall. This means that if format_args!() is used
with calling a method a closure must be used. Consider this code, however:
format_args!(|args| { foo.writer.write_fmt(args) }, "{}", foo.field)
The closure borrows the entire `foo` structure, disallowing the later borrow of
`foo.field`. To preserve the semantics of the `write!` macro, it is also
impossible to borrow specifically the `writer` field of the `foo` structure
because it must be borrowed mutably, but the `foo` structure is not guaranteed
to be mutable itself.
This new macro is invoked like:
format_args_method!(foo.writer, write_fmt, "{}", foo.field)
This macro will generate an ExprMethodCall which allows the borrow checker to
understand that `writer` and `field` should be borrowed separately.
This macro is not strictly necessary, with DST or possibly UFCS other
workarounds could be used. For now, though, it looks like this is required to
implement the `write!` macro.
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

There's now one unified way to return things from a macro, instead of
being able to choose the `AnyMacro` trait or the `MRItem`/`MRExpr`
variants of the `MacResult` enum. This does simplify the logic handling
the expansions, but the biggest value of this is it makes macros in (for
example) type position easier to implement, as there's this single thing
to modify.
By my measurements (using `-Z time-passes` on libstd and librustc etc.),
this appears to have little-to-no impact on expansion speed. There are
presumably larger costs than the small number of extra allocations and
virtual calls this adds (notably, all `macro_rules!`-defined macros have
not changed in behaviour, since they had to use the `AnyMacro` trait
anyway).
When linking, all crates in the local CStore are used to link the final product.
With #[phase(syntax)], crates want to be omitted from this linkage phase, and
this was achieved by dumping the entire CStore after loading crates. This causes
crates like the standard library to get loaded twice. This loading process is a
fairly expensive operation when dealing with decompressing metadata.
This commit alters the loading process to never register syntax crates in
CStore. Instead, only phase(link) crates ever make their way into the map of
crates. The CrateLoader trait was altered to return everything in one method
instead of having separate methods for finding information.
