This is a continuation of @brson's work from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/12144.
This implements the minimal scaffolding that allows mapping diagnostic messages to alpha-numeric codes, which could improve the searchability of errors. In addition, there's a new compiler option, `--explain {code}` which takes an error code and prints out a somewhat detailed explanation of the error. Example:
```rust
fn f(x: Option<bool>) {
match x {
Some(true) | Some(false) => (),
None => (),
Some(true) => ()
}
}
```
```shell
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc ./diagnostics.rs --crate-type dylib
diagnostics.rs:5:3: 5:13 error: unreachable pattern [E0001] (pass `--explain E0001` to see a detailed explanation)
diagnostics.rs:5 Some(true) => ()
^~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to previous error
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc --explain E0001
This error suggests that the expression arm corresponding to the noted pattern
will never be reached as for all possible values of the expression being matched,
one of the preceeding patterns will match.
This means that perhaps some of the preceeding patterns are too general, this
one is too specific or the ordering is incorrect.
```
I've refrained from migrating many errors to actually use the new macros as it can be done in an incremental fashion but if we're happy with the approach, it'd be good to do all of them sooner rather than later.
Originally, I was going to make libdiagnostics a separate crate but that's posing some interesting challenges with semi-circular dependencies. In particular, librustc would have a plugin-phase dependency on libdiagnostics, which itself depends on librustc. Per my conversation with @alexcrichton, it seems like the snapshotting process would also have to change. So for now the relevant modules from libdiagnostics are included using `#[path = ...] mod`.
This commit adds `env_insert` and `env_remove` methods to the `Command`
builder, easing updates to the environment variables for the child
process. The existing method, `env`, is still available for overriding
the entire environment in one shot (after which the `env_insert` and
`env_remove` methods can be used to make further adjustments).
To support these new methods, the internal `env` representation for
`Command` has been changed to an optional `HashMap` holding owned
`CString`s (to support non-utf8 data). The `HashMap` is only
materialized if the environment is updated. The implementation does not
try hard to avoid allocation, since the cost of launching a process will
dwarf any allocation cost.
This patch also adds `PartialOrd`, `Eq`, and `Hash` implementations for
`CString`.
This commit changes the `io::process::Command` API to provide
fine-grained control over the environment:
* The `env` method now inserts/updates a key/value pair.
* The `env_remove` method removes a key from the environment.
* The old `env` method, which sets the entire environment in one shot,
is renamed to `env_set_all`. It can be used in conjunction with the
finer-grained methods. This renaming is a breaking change.

Similar to the stability attributes, a type annotated with `#[must_use =
"informative snippet"]` will print the normal warning message along with
"informative snippet". This allows the type author to provide some
guidance about why the type should be used.
---
It can be a little unintuitive that something like `v.iter().map(|x|
println!("{}", x));` does nothing: the majority of the iterator adaptors
are lazy and do not execute anything until something calls `next`, e.g.
a `for` loop, `collect`, `fold`, etc.
The majority of such errors can be seen by someone writing something
like the above, i.e. just calling an iterator adaptor and doing nothing
with it (and doing this is certainly useless), so we can co-opt the
`must_use` lint, using the message functionality to give a hint to the
reason why.
Fixes#14666.

This shuffles things around a bit so that LIT_CHAR and co store an Ident
which is the original, unaltered literal in the source. When creating the AST,
unescape and postprocess them.
This changes how syntax extensions can work, slightly, but otherwise poses no
visible changes. To get a useful value out of one of these tokens, call
`parse::{char_lit, byte_lit, bin_lit, str_lit}`

This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.
Closes#15046.

Extend the null ptr optimization to work with slices, closures, procs, & trait objects by using the internal pointers as the discriminant.
This decreases the size of `Option<&[int]>` (and similar) by one word.
This will break code that used the old `Index` trait. Change this code
to use the new `Index` traits. For reference, here are their signatures:

}
pub trait IndexMut<Index,Result> {
fn index_mut<'a>(&'a mut self, index: &Index) -> &'a mut Result;

I ran `make check` and everything went smoothly. I also tested `#[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)]` on a struct containing both Cell<T> and RefCell<T> and everything now seems to work fine.
In a cargo-driven world the primary location for the name of a crate will be in
its manifest, not in the source file itself. The purpose of this flag is to
reduce required duplication for new cargo projects.
This is a breaking change because the existing --crate-name flag actually
printed the crate name. This flag was renamed to --print-crate-name, and to
maintain consistence, the --crate-file-name flag was renamed to
--print-file-name.
To maintain backwards compatibility, the --crate-file-name flag is still
recognized, but it is deprecated.

This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.

The types `Bitv` and `BitvSet` are badly out of date. This PR:
- cleans up the code (primarily, simplifies `Bitv` and implements `BitvSet` in terms of `Bitv`)
- implements several new traits for `Bitv`
- adds new functionality to `Bitv` and `BitvSet`
- replaces internal iterators with external ones
- updates documentation
- minor bug fixes
This is a significantly souped-up version of PR #15139 and is the result of the discussion there.
