This patchset enables rustc to cross-build mingw-w64 outputs.
Tested on mingw + mingw-w64 (mingw-builds, win64/seh/win32-threads/gcc-4.8.1).
I also patched llvm to support Win64 stack unwinding.

I cross-built test/run-pass/smallest-hello-world.rs and confirmed it works.
However, I also found something went wrong if I don't have custom `#[start]` routine.
Further followup on #7081.
There still remains writeback.rs, but I want to wait to investigate that one because I've seen `make check` issues with it in the past.
This does two things: 1) stops compressing metadata, 2) stops copying the metadata section, instead holding a reference to the buffer returned by the LLVM section iterator.
Not compressing metadata requires something like 7x the storage space, but makes running tests about 9% faster. This has been a time improvement on all platforms I've tested, including windows. I considered leaving compression as an option but it doesn't seem to be worth the complexity since we don't currently have any use cases where we need to save that space.
In order to avoid copying the metadata section I had to hack up extra::ebml a bit to support unsafe buffers. We should probably move it into librustc so that it can evolve to support the compiler without worrying about having a crummy interface.

Monomorphize's normalization results in a 2% decrease in non-optimized
code size for libstd, so there's a negligible cost to removing it. This
also fixes several visit glue bugs because normalize wasn't considering
the differences in visit glue between types.
Closes#8720
This PR contains some code cleanup and the fix for issue #8670.
~~I am not sure about issue #8442 (could not reproduce it). @jdm, could check after this is merged and possibly close the issue then?~~ (closed now)
Some interesting facts: With this commit, it should be possible to compile libstd with `-Zdebug-info` (it does not work yet with `-Zextra-debug-info` but we are getting there). Switching debug info on increases the compile time for libstd by about 2 seconds.
@catamorphism I get one failing test in rustpkg:
`package_script_with_default_build` says: `task <unnamed> failed at 'Couldn't copy file', /home/mw/rust/src/librustpkg/tests.rs:689`
Would you have any idea what that is about? Seems be something wrong on my machine...
Cheers,

Fixes#8670
This commit removes the "super_*" functions from
typeck::infer::combine, and adds them as default methods on the
Combine trait instead, making it possible to remove a lot of
boilerplate from the various impls of Combine.
I've been wanting to do this for over a year. In fact, it was my
original motivation for default methods!
It might be possible to tighten things up even more, but this is the
bulk of it.
For #7083.
The metadata issue with the old version is now fixed. Ready for review.
This is also not the full solution to #7083, because this is not supported yet:
```
trait Foo : Send { }
impl <T: Send> Foo for T { }
fn foo<T: Foo>(val: T, chan: std::comm::Chan<T>) {
chan.send(val);
}
```

Given that bootstrapping and running the testsuite works without
exporting discriminant values as global constants, I conclude that
they're unused and can be removed.

The first commit message is pretty good, but whomever reviews this should probably also at least glance at the changes I made in LLVM. I basically reorganized our pending patch queue to be a bit more organized and clearer in what needs to go where. After this, our queue would be:
* Add the `no-split-stack` attribute
* Add the `fixedstacksegment` attribute
* Add split-stacks for arm android
* Add split-stacks for arm linux
* Add split stacks for mips
Then there's a patch which I added to get rust to build at all on LLVM-head, and I'm not quite sure why it's there, but nothing seems to be crashing for now! (famous last words).
Otherwise, I just updated code to reflect the changes I made in LLVM with the only major change being the advent of the new `no_split_stack` attribute. This is work towards #1226, but someone more familiar with the code should probably actually assign the attribute to the appropriate functions.
Also as a bonus, I've verified that this closes#5774
