62792f09f2 lint: add lint for use of a ~[T].
This is useless at the moment (since pretty much every crate uses
`~[]`), but should help avoid regressions once completely removed from a
crate.

7858065113 std: Rename Chan/Port types and constructor
* Chan<T> => Sender<T>
* Port<T> => Receiver<T>
* Chan::new() => channel()
* constructor returns (Sender, Receiver) instead of (Receiver, Sender)
* local variables named `port` renamed to `rx`
* local variables named `chan` renamed to `tx`

Closes #11765

689f19722f rand: deprecate rng.
This should be called far less than it is because it does expensive OS
interactions and seeding of the internal RNG, `task_rng` amortises this
cost. The main problem is the name is so short and suggestive.

The direct equivalent is `StdRng::new`, which does precisely the same
thing.

The deprecation will make migrating away from the function easier.

6fa4bbeed4 std: Move rand to librand.
This functionality is not super-core and so doesn't need to be included
in std. It's possible that std may need rand (it does a little bit now,
for io::test) in which case the functionality required could be moved to
a secret hidden module and reexposed by librand.

Unfortunately, using #[deprecated] here is hard: there's too much to
mock to make it feasible, since we have to ensure that programs still
typecheck to reach the linting phase.
