This commit brings the `Error` trait in line with the [Error interoperation
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/201) by adding downcasting,
which has long been intended. This change means that for any `Error`
trait objects that are `'static`, you can downcast to concrete error
types.
To make this work, it is necessary for `Error` to inherit from
`Reflect` (which is currently used to mark concrete types as "permitted
for reflection, aka downcasting"). This is a breaking change: it means
that impls like
```rust
impl<T> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
must change to something like
```rust
impl<T: Reflect> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
except that `Reflect` is currently unstable (and should remain so for
the time being). For now, code can instead bound by `Any`:
```rust
impl<T: Any> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
which *is* stable and has `Reflect` as a super trait. The downside is
that this imposes a `'static` constraint, but that only
constrains *when* `Error` is implemented -- it does not actually
constrain the types that can implement `Error`.

This commit modifies the standard library and its dependencies to link correctly
when built against MUSL. This primarily ensures that the right libraries are
linked against and when they're linked against they're linked against
statically.
Changes the style guidelines regarding unit tests to recommend using a
sub-module named "tests" instead of "test" for unit tests as "test"
might clash with imports of libtest.
This is an implementation of [RFC 1030][rfc] which adds these traits to the
prelude and additionally removes all inherent `into_iter` methods on collections
in favor of the trait implementation (which is now accessible by default).
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1030
This is technically a breaking change due to the prelude additions and removal
of inherent methods, but it is expected that essentially no code breaks in
practice.

Without the `box` keyword, one of these two reasons is not correct, so
let's just eliminate this section and elaborate on the reason for the
legit use case inline.

This PR implements rust-lang/rfcs#1023. In the process it fixes#23086 and #23516. A few impls in libcore had to be updated, but the impact is generally pretty minimal. Most of the fallout is in the tests that probed the limits of today's coherence.
I tested and we were able to build the most popular crates along with iron (modulo errors around errors being sendable).
Fixes#23918.

While trying to implement parallel ECS processing, I stumbled upon the need to mutate `Arc` contents. The only existed method that allowed that was `make_unique`, but it has issues:
- it may clone the data as if nothing happened, where the program may just need to crash
- it forces `Clone` bound, which I don't have
The new `try_unique` allows accessing the contents mutably without `Clone` bound and error out if the pointer is not unique.
for `Box<FnBox()>`. I found the alias was still handy because it is
shorter than the fully written type.
This is a [breaking-change]: convert code using `Invoke` to use `FnBox`,
which is usually pretty straight-forward. Code using thunk mostly works
if you change `Thunk::new => Box::new` and `foo.invoke(arg)` to
`foo(arg)`.
This commit stabilizes a few remaining bits of the `io::Error` type:
* The `Error::new` method is now stable. The last `detail` parameter was removed
and the second `desc` parameter was generalized to `E: Into<Box<Error>>` to
allow creating an I/O error from any form of error. Currently there is no form
of downcasting, but this will be added in time.
* An implementation of `From<&str> for Box<Error>` was added to liballoc to
allow construction of errors from raw strings.
* The `Error::raw_os_error` method was stabilized as-is.
* Trait impls for `Clone`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq` were removed from `Error` as it
is not possible to use them with trait objects.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of the `new` method as well as
the removal of the trait implementations for the `Error` type.

This commit stabilizes the following APIs:
* `TypeId::of` - now that it has an `Any` bound it's ready to be stable.
* `Box<Any>::downcast` - now that an inherent impl on `Box<Any>` as well as
`Box<Any+Send>` is allowed the `BoxAny` trait is removed in favor of these
inherent methods.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `BoxAny` trait, but
consumers can simply remove imports to fix crates.

This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.
Closes#22985Closes#21069

This removes the FromError trait, since it can now be expressed using
the new convert::Into trait. All implementations of FromError<E> where
changed to From<E>, and `try!` was changed to use From::from instead.
Because this removes FromError, it is a breaking change, but fixing it
simply requires changing the words `FromError` to `From`, and
`from_error` to `from`.

This functions swaps the order of arguments to a few functions that previously
took (output, input) parameters, but now take (input, output) parameters (in
that order).
The affected functions are:

* ptr::copy_nonoverlapping
* slice::bytes::copy_memory
* intrinsics::copy
* intrinsics::copy_nonoverlapping

Windows gets quite unhappy when a thread fails while the main thread is exiting,
frequently leading to process deadlock. This has been causing quite a few
deadlocks on the windows bots recently. The child threads are presumably failing
because the `println!` is failing due to the main thread being shut down.
This PR introduces a `Reflect` marker trait which is a supertrait of `Any`. The idea is that `Reflect` is defined for all concrete types, but is not defined for type parameters unless there is a `T:Reflect` bound. This is intended to preserve the parametricity property. This allows the `Any` interface to be stabilized without committing us to unbounded reflection that is not easily detectable by the caller.
The implementation of `Reflect` relies on an experimental variant of OIBIT. This variant behaves differently for objects, since it requires that all types exposed as part of the object's *interface* are `Reflect`, but isn't concerned about other types that may be closed over. In other words, you don't have to write `Foo+Reflect` in order for `Foo: Reflect` to hold (where `Foo` is a trait).
Given that `Any` is slated to stabilization and hence that we are committed to some form of reflection, the goal of this PR is to leave our options open with respect to parametricity. I see the options for full stabilization as follows (I think an RFC would be an appropriate way to confirm whichever of these three routes we take):
1. We make `Reflect` a lang-item.
2. We stabilize some version of the OIBIT variation I implemented as a general mechanism that may be appropriate for other use cases.
3. We give up on preserving parametricity here and just have `impl<T> Reflect for T` instead. In that case, `Reflect` is a harmless but not especially useful trait going forward.
