`std::dynamic_library` is currently using `std::old_io::Path` specifically. This change brings the API in alignment with `std::fs::File` by having it take `std::path::AsPath`. The Windows code should work, but I admittedly haven't tried it (I don't have a Windows machine readily available right now).

Found a few 404s that seemed like simple fixes:
The Result docs use old_io Writer as an example. Fix the link to old_io Writer. There's probably an effort to update the example away from a deprecated api but this was a simple fix.
rustc/plugin was pointing at the old guide and it was a broken link anyways (plugin vs plugins). Point at the book instead.
The main page of the API docs referenced c_{str,vec}. Looks like these were deleted in 25d5a3a194. Point at ffi docs instead.
This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` function now succeeds if, and only if, the path has at
least one non-root/prefix component. This change affects `pop` as
well.
* The `Prefix` component now involves a separate `PrefixComponent`
struct, to better allow for keeping both parsed and unparsed prefix data.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.
Closes#23264

Unstable items used in a macro expansion will now always trigger
stability warnings, *unless* the unstable items are directly inside a
macro marked with `#[allow_internal_unstable]`. IOW, the compiler warns
unless the span of the unstable item is a subspan of the definition of a
macro marked with that attribute.
E.g.
#[allow_internal_unstable]
macro_rules! foo {
($e: expr) => {{
$e;
unstable(); // no warning
only_called_by_foo!();
}}
}
macro_rules! only_called_by_foo {
() => { unstable() } // warning
}
foo!(unstable()) // warning
The unstable inside `foo` is fine, due to the attribute. But the
`unstable` inside `only_called_by_foo` is not, since that macro doesn't
have the attribute, and the `unstable` passed into `foo` is also not
fine since it isn't contained in the macro itself (that is, even though
it is only used directly in the macro).
In the process this makes the stability tracking much more precise,
e.g. previously `println!("{}", unstable())` got no warning, but now it
does. As such, this is a bug fix that may cause [breaking-change]s.
The attribute is definitely feature gated, since it explicitly allows
side-stepping the feature gating system.
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
Many of the modifications putting in `Box::new` calls also include a
pointer to Issue 22405, which tracks going back to `box <expr>` if
possible in the future.
(Still tried to use `Box<_>` where it sufficed; thus some tests still
have `box_syntax` enabled, as they use a mix of `box` and `Box::new`.)
Precursor for overloaded-`box` and placement-`in`; see Issue 22181.
This commit moves `std::env` away from the `std::old_io` error type as well as
the `std::old_path` module. Methods returning an error now return `io::Error`
and methods consuming or returning paths use `std::path` instead of
`std::old_path`. This commit does not yet mark these APIs as `#[stable]`.
This commit also migrates `std::old_io::TempDir` to `std::fs::TempDir` with
essentially the exact same API. This type was added to interoperate with the new
path API and has its own `tempdir` feature.
Finally, this commit reverts the deprecation of `std::os` APIs returning the old
path API types. This deprecation can come back once the entire `std::old_path`
module is deprecated.

#[plugin] #[no_link] extern crate bleh;
becomes a crate attribute
#![plugin(bleh)]
The feature gate is still required.
It's almost never correct to link a plugin into the resulting library /
executable, because it will bring all of libsyntax and librustc with it.
However if you really want this behavior, you can get it with a separate
`extern crate` item in addition to the `plugin` attribute.

This is an implementation of [RFC 578][rfc] which adds a new `std::env` module
to replace most of the functionality in the current `std::os` module. More
details can be found in the RFC itself, but as a summary the following methods
have all been deprecated:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/578
* `os::args_as_bytes` => `env::args`
* `os::args` => `env::args`
* `os::consts` => `env::consts`
* `os::dll_filename` => no replacement, use `env::consts` directly
* `os::page_size` => `env::page_size`
* `os::make_absolute` => use `env::current_dir` + `join` instead
* `os::getcwd` => `env::current_dir`
* `os::change_dir` => `env::set_current_dir`
* `os::homedir` => `env::home_dir`
* `os::tmpdir` => `env::temp_dir`
* `os::join_paths` => `env::join_paths`
* `os::split_paths` => `env::split_paths`
* `os::self_exe_name` => `env::current_exe`
* `os::self_exe_path` => use `env::current_exe` + `pop`
* `os::set_exit_status` => `env::set_exit_status`
* `os::get_exit_status` => `env::get_exit_status`
* `os::env` => `env::vars`
* `os::env_as_bytes` => `env::vars`
* `os::getenv` => `env::var` or `env::var_string`
* `os::getenv_as_bytes` => `env::var`
* `os::setenv` => `env::set_var`
* `os::unsetenv` => `env::remove_var`
Many function signatures have also been tweaked for various purposes, but the
main changes were:
* `Vec`-returning APIs now all return iterators instead
* All APIs are now centered around `OsString` instead of `Vec<u8>` or `String`.
There is currently on convenience API, `env::var_string`, which can be used to
get the value of an environment variable as a unicode `String`.
All old APIs are `#[deprecated]` in-place and will remain for some time to allow
for migrations. The semantics of the APIs have been tweaked slightly with regard
to dealing with invalid unicode (panic instead of replacement).
The new `std::env` module is all contained within the `env` feature, so crates
must add the following to access the new APIs:
#![feature(env)]

Instead of copy-pasting the whole macro_rules! item from the original .rs file,
we serialize a separate name, attributes list, and body, the latter as
pretty-printed TTs. The compilation of macro_rules! macros is decoupled
somewhat from the expansion of macros in item position.
This filters out comments, and facilitates selective imports.
os::getcwd() panics if the current directory is not available. According
to getcwd(3), there are three cases:
- EACCES: Permission denied.
- ENOENT: The current working directory has been removed.
- ERANGE: The buffer size is less than the actual absolute path.
This commit makes os::getcwd() return IoResult<Path>, not just Path,
preventing it from panicking.
As os::make_absolute() depends on os::getcwd(), it is also modified to
return IoResult<Path>.
Fixes#16946.

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.

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 other extension types already worked this way and it can be useful to track some state along with the extension.
I also removed the `BasicMacroExpander` and `BasicIdentMacroExpander` since the span inside of them was never used. The expander function types now directly implement the relevant trait.
