Improve siphash performance for longer data
Use `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping` (aka memcpy) to load an u64 from the
byte stream. This is correct for any alignment, and the compiler will
use the appropriate instruction to load the data.
Also contains small tweaks that should benefit hashing short data too,
both the commit that removes a variable and the autovectorization of
the hash state initialization (in SipHash::reset).
Benchmarks show that hashing longer data benefits for the improved word loading.
Before (using benchmarks from the first commit in the PR):
The before benchmark is a bit noisy.

Visual Studio 2015, recently released, includes the Universal CRT, a different
flavor than was provided before. The binaries and header files for this library
are included in new locations not previously known about by gcc-rs, and this
commit adds support for the necessary probing to find these.
Unfortunately there are no prior examples of this probing to be found in
frameworks like CMake or clang, so this is done is a bit of a sketchy method
today. It assumes that the installation is in a relatively standard format and
then blindly looks for the location of the UCRT. I'd love to switch this over to
using registry keys for probing, but I was currently unable to find such keys.
This should enable the compiler to work outside VS 2015 dev tools prompts.
These aren't really used for anything any more, so there doesn't seem to be much
reason to leave them around in the `rt` directory. There was some limiting of
threads spawned or tests when run under valgrind, but very little is run under
valgrind nowadays so there's also no real use keeping these around.
So I have tried to improve the rustbook engine:
- The sidebar now looks a lot more like gitbook (I thinks it cleaner)
- Added the Open Sans font, in my opinion more readable for prolonged periods of time
- Changed the style for code blocks a little
I encountered 1 problem. In `build.rs` I added this google font url (I commented out the non-relevant parts for clarity)
```rust
let rustdoc_args: &[String] = &[
//"".to_string(),
//preprocessed_path.display().to_string(),
//format!("-o{}", out_path.display()),
//format!("--html-before-content={}", prelude.display()),
//format!("--html-after-content={}", postlude.display()),
//format!("--markdown-playground-url=http://play.rust-lang.org"),
//format!("--markdown-css={}", item.path_to_root.join("rust-book.css").display()),
format!("--markdown-css=http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700"),
//"--markdown-no-toc".to_string(),
];
```
As you can see, I had to escape `=` with `=` because the string would get truncated if I didn't. Is that normal behaviour? Is that for security measures? If it is, isn't it a little weak if you can circumvent it by escaped characters? I don't know the reason behind, but I thought it was at least worth mentioning :)
Take your time for this PR, I still want to add multiple improvements:
- Like gitbook, possibility to change font by user
- Put `css` and `js` in their respective files (not hardcoded in rust)
- button to hide sidebar
- ...
So I'm not in a hurry to get this merged ;) But if you think it's good enough to be merged, go ahead. I will make another PR when I have other improvements.

This reverts commit a0efd3a3d9.
This commit caused a lot of unintended breakage for many Cargo builds. The problem is that Cargo compiles build scripts with `-C prefer-dynamic`, so the standard library is always dynamically linked and hence any imports need to be marked with `dllimport`. Dependencies of build scripts, however, were compiled as rlibs and did not have their imports tagged with `dllimport`, so build scripts would fail to link.
While known that this situation would break, it was unknown that it was a common scenario in the wild. As a result I'm just reverting these heuristics for now.
Instead of bar/baz, use valid/invalid as default methods. This
illustrates why you might want default methods, and shows that you can
call other trait methods from a default method.

It's deprecated and unsafe, so we shouldn't be encouraging people to use
it. Move it to `std:🧵:scoped` instead, since it's still useful
information to anyone who is using the API.
`Rc::new(RefCell::new(x)): Rc<RefCell<Trait>>` should not mean `RefCell::new(x): RefCell<Trait>`.
The latter is impossible, as an rvalue can't have an unsized type.
We were already handling unsized argument hints, but not when dealing with unsized structures.

Fixes#26689
This PR tries to clarify uses of "character" where it means "code point" or "UTF-8 sequence", which are almost, but not quite the same. Edge cases added to some examples to demonstrate this.
However, I've kept use of the term "code point" instead of "Unicode scalar value", because in UTF-8 they're the same, and "code point" is more widely known.
This does two things:
* removes ast::LocalSource, where only one variant was used because for-loop expansion has changed. One reason that this slipped into here is because the code in `check_local` which checks for `LocalSource::LocalFor` would report the same error as in `check_exhaustive` while using the wrong error code (E0005 instead of E0297).
* silences the warning about already used diagnostic code E0005 (fixes#27279)
passes `make check` locally.
This PR completes [RFC 213](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0213-defaulted-type-params.md) by allowing default type parameters to influence inference. This is almost certainly a breaking change due to interactions between default type parameters and the old fallback algorithm used for integral and floating point literals.
The error messages still require polish but I wanted to get early review and feedback from others on the the changes, error messages, and test cases. I also imagine we will want to run anywhere from 1-3 versions of this on crater and evaluate the impact, and it would be best to get that ball rolling.
The only outstanding issue I'm aware of is that type alias defaults don't work. It seems this may require significant restructuring, since during inference type aliases have already been expanded. @nikomatsakis might be able to provide some clarity here.
