This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

This commit removes the reexports of `old_io` traits as well as `old_path` types
and traits from the prelude. This functionality is now all deprecated and needs
to be removed to make way for other functionality like `Seek` in the `std::io`
module (currently reexported as `NewSeek` in the io prelude).

This commit stabilizes the `ErrorKind` enumeration which is consumed by and
generated by the `io::Error` type. The purpose of this type is to serve as a
cross-platform namespace to categorize errors into. Two specific issues are
addressed as part of this stablization:
* The naming of each variant was scrutinized and some were tweaked. An example
is how `FileNotFound` was renamed to simply `NotFound`. These names should not
show either a Unix or Windows bias and the set of names is intended to grow
over time. For now the names will likely largely consist of those errors
generated by the I/O APIs in the standard library.
* The mapping of OS error codes onto kinds has been altered. Coalescing no
longer occurs (multiple error codes become one kind). It is intended that each
OS error code, if bound, corresponds to only one `ErrorKind`. The current set
of error kinds was expanded slightly to include some networking errors.
This commit also adds a `raw_os_error` function which returns an `Option<i32>`
to extract the underlying raw error code from the `Error`.
Recent changes in path semantics meant that if none of the components in a
relative path existed as a part of a call to `create_dir_all` then the call
would fail as `create_dir("")` would be attempted and would fail with an OS
error.
It is a frequent pattern among I/O functions to take `P: AsPath + ?Sized` or
`AsOsStr` instead of `AsPath`. Most of these functions do not need to take
ownership of their argument, but for libraries in general it's much more
ergonomic to not deal with `?Sized` at all and simply require an argument `P`
instead of `&P`.
This change is aimed at removing unsightly `?Sized` bounds while retaining the
same level of usability as before. All affected functions now take ownership of
their arguments instead of taking them by reference, but due to the forwarding
implementations of `AsOsStr` and `AsPath` all code should continue to work as it
did before.
This is strictly speaking a breaking change due to the signatures of these
functions changing, but normal idiomatic usage of these APIs should not break in
practice.

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` method is now `without_file` and succeeds if, and only
if, `file_name` is `Some(_)`. That means, in particular, that it fails
for a path like `foo/../`. This change affects `pop` as well.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.

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.

This commit performs a stabilization pass over the `std::fs` module now that
it's had some time to bake. The change was largely just adding `#[stable]` tags,
but there are a few APIs that remain `#[unstable]`.
The following apis are now marked `#[stable]`:
* `std::fs` (the name)
* `File`
* `Metadata`
* `ReadDir`
* `DirEntry`
* `OpenOptions`
* `Permissions`
* `File::{open, create}`
* `File::{sync_all, sync_data}`
* `File::set_len`
* `File::metadata`
* Trait implementations for `File` and `&File`
* `OpenOptions::new`
* `OpenOptions::{read, write, append, truncate, create}`
* `OpenOptions::open` - this function was modified, however, to not attempt to
reject cross-platform openings of directories. This means that some platforms
will succeed in opening a directory and others will fail.
* `Metadata::{is_dir, is_file, len, permissions}`
* `Permissions::{readonly, set_readonly}`
* `Iterator for ReadDir`
* `DirEntry::path`
* `remove_file` - like with `OpenOptions::open`, the extra windows code to
remove a readonly file has been removed. This means that removing a readonly
file will succeed on some platforms but fail on others.
* `metadata`
* `rename`
* `copy`
* `hard_link`
* `soft_link`
* `read_link`
* `create_dir`
* `create_dir_all`
* `remove_dir`
* `remove_dir_all`
* `read_dir`
The following apis remain `#[unstable]`.
* `WalkDir` and `walk` - there are many methods by which a directory walk can be
constructed, and it's unclear whether the current semantics are the right
ones. For example symlinks are not handled super well currently. This is now
behind a new `fs_walk` feature.
* `File::path` - this is an extra abstraction which the standard library
provides on top of what the system offers and it's unclear whether we should
be doing so. This is now behind a new `file_path` feature.
* `Metadata::{accessed, modified}` - we do not currently have a good
abstraction for a moment in time which is what these APIs should likely be
returning, so these remain `#[unstable]` for now. These are now behind a new
`fs_time` feature
* `set_file_times` - like with `Metadata::accessed`, we do not currently have
the appropriate abstraction for the arguments here so this API remains
unstable behind the `fs_time` feature gate.
* `PathExt` - the precise set of methods on this trait may change over time and
some methods may be removed. This API remains unstable behind the `path_ext`
feature gate.
* `set_permissions` - we may wish to expose a more granular ability to set the
permissions on a file instead of just a blanket \"set all permissions\" method.
This function remains behind the `fs` feature.
The following apis are now `#[deprecated]`
* The `TempDir` type is now entirely deprecated and is [located on
crates.io][tempdir] as the `tempdir` crate with [its source][github] at
rust-lang/tempdir.

The stability of some of these APIs has been questioned over the past few weeks

If the filename for a path is `None` then we know that the creation of the
parent directory created the whole path so there's no need to retry the call to
`create_dir`.
Closes#22737
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.
