Revised version of PR #21930.
Restrictions on moves into and out-from fixed-length arrays.
(There was only one use of this "feature" in the compiler source.)
Note 1: the change to the error message in tests/compile-fail/borrowck-use-in-index-lvalue.rs, where we now report that *w is uninitialized (rather than w), was unintended fallout from the implementation strategy used here. The change appears harmless to me, but I welcome advice on how to bring back the old message, which was slightly cleaner (i.e. less unintelligible) since that the syntactic form *w does not actually appear in the source text.
Note 2: the move out-from restriction to only apply to expr[i], and not destructuring bind (e.g. f([a, b, c]: Array) { ... }) since the latter is compatible with nonzeroing drop, AFAICT.

drive-by: revise compile-fail/borrowck-vec-pattern-move-tail to make
it really clear that there is a conflict that must be signaled.
(A hypothetical future version of Rust might be able to accept the
prior version of the code, since the previously updated index was not
actually aliased.)
No longer legal: `fn foo(a: [D; 5]) { drop(a); a[2] = D::new(); }`;
one must first initialize the entirety of `a` before assigning to its
individual elements.
No longer legal: `fn foo(arr: [D; 5]) -> D { arr[2] }`, unless `D`
implements `Copy`. This "move out-from" restriction only affects
`expr[i]`, and not destructuring (e.g. `f([a, b, c]: Array) { ... }`).
uses mem_categorization to distinguish destructuring-bind from array
indexing.
See discussion on RFC PR 533.

The compiler would previously fall back to using `-L` and normal lookup paths if
a `--extern` path was specified but it did not match (wrong architecture, for
example). This commit removes this behavior and forces the hand of the crate
loader to *always* use the `--extern` path if specified, no matter whether it is
correct or not.
This fixes a bug today where the compiler's own libraries are favored in cross
compilation by accident. For example when a crate using the crates.io version of
`log` was cross compiled, Cargo would compile `log` for the target architecture.
When loading the macros, however, the compiler currently favors using the *host*
architecture (for plugins), and because the `--extern log=...` pointed at an
rlib for the target architecture, that lookup failed. The crate loader then
fell back on `-L` paths to find the compiler-used `log` crate (the wrong one!)
and then a compile failure happened because the logging macros are slightly
different.
Add special error for this case and help message `please recompile this crate using --crate-type lib`, also list found candidates.

closes#21630
Overloaded indexing (`&[mut] foo[bar]`) only works when `<Self as Index>::Output` is the same as `<Self as IndexMut>::Output` (see issue above). To restrict implementations of `IndexMut` that doesn't work, this PR makes `IndexMut` a supertrait over `Index`, i.e. `trait IndexMut<I>: Index<I>`, just like in the `trait DerefMut: Deref` case.
This breaks all downstream implementations of `IndexMut`, in most cases this simply means removing the `type Output = ..` bit, which is now redundant, from `IndexMut` implementations:
``` diff
impl Index<Foo> for Bar {
type Output = Baz;
..
}
impl IndexMut<Foo> for Bar {
- type Output = Baz;
..
}
```

New functions, `slice::from_raw_parts` and `slice::from_raw_parts_mut`,
are added to implement the lifetime convention as agreed in rust-lang/rfcs#556.
The functions `slice::from_raw_buf` and `slice::from_raw_mut_buf` are
left deprecated for the time being.
Holding back on changing the signature of `std::ffi::c_str_to_bytes` as consensus in rust-lang/rfcs#592 is building to replace it with a composition of other functions.
Contribution to #21923.
If you were still using `MaybeOwnedVector`, update your code to use `CowVec`.

We already removed `MaybeOwned` (the string equivalent) long time ago and with a much shorter deprecation period. It's time to let go.
The word is repeated twice in the message like:
error: obsolete syntax: `:`, `&mut:`, or `&:` syntax
This removes the word syntax that appears in messages after the second colon (:).
Second try to address https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/21196 . A lot that was removed at the end basically seemed repetitive showing simple variations on the same type. It seems more effective to just show more variants at the beginning instead.
If you want to pack values into an example, better to use `i32` or some digit than `String` because you don't need the `to_string()` method.
I didn't mention `derive` because:
* I can't explain it (only use it)
* I don't have a link to a good description (maybe rustbyexample but you probably want links internal)
* Giving more detail especially stating that `==` won't work and why should help quite a bit
I didn't `make test` or check links but I will if this will be merged.
