Fix a spelling error in HashMap documentation, and slightly reword surrounding text for precision
Noticed while reading docs just now.
It's possible that the prior wording *meant* to state that the seed's randomness depends on the exact instant that the system RNG was created, I guess. But unless there's an API guarantee that this is the case, the wording seems over-precise. Is there a formal API guarantee that would forbid, say, the system RNG from generating all output using the Intel RDRAND instruction? I don't think the quality of output in that case would depend on when the RNG was created. Yet it seems to me like it could well be a valid source of randomness when computing the initial seed.
For that reason, tying the randomness of the seed, to the quality of the RNG's output *at the precise instant the seed is computed*, seems less confining. That instantaneous quality level could be determined by the quality at the instant the RNG was created -- but instantaneous quality need not be low for that precise reason.
minor wording tweak to slice::{as_ptr, as_mut_ptr}
Per #37334, the slice-as-pointer methods mentioned that "modifying the slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated", when in fact modifying the *slice* itself would cause no such change. (It is a borrow, after all!) This is a tweak to the wording of that line to stress it's the *collection* that could cause the buffer to be reallocated.

Point to let when modifying field of immutable variable
Point at the immutable local variable when trying to modify one of its
fields.
Given a file:
```rust
struct Foo {
pub v: Vec<String>
}
fn main() {
let f = Foo { v: Vec::new() };
f.v.push("cat".to_string());
}
```
present the following output:
```
error: cannot borrow immutable field `f.v` as mutable
--> file.rs:7:13
|
6 | let f = Foo { v: Vec::new() };
| - this should be `mut`
7 | f.v.push("cat".to_string());
| ^^^
error: aborting due to previous error
```
Fix#27593.
Add feature gate for rvalue-static-promotion
Probably needs more tests (which ones?) and there may be other things that need to be done. Also not sure whether the version that introduces the flag is really `1.15.1`.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1414.
Updates #38865.
Library stabilizations for 1.17
Details of the stabilizations are available in the commits. Includes only library stabilizations; there are a couple of compiler stabilizations that should also be done for 1.17.
Will need a beta backport, which I will create after approval.

travis: Ensure cargo links libcurl statically
We don't want a dynamic dependency in the library that we ship, so link it
statically by configuring curl-sys's build script to not pick up the system
version via pkg-config.
Ignore the type of error altogether. The rationale is: it doesn't matter
what was the problem if the directory is there. In the previous versions
if the directory was there already we wouldn't even attempt to create
it, so we wouldn't know about the problem neither.
Make test path length smaller in `concurrent_recursive_mkdir` test.
It is more robust to not fail if any directory in a path was created
concurrently. This change lifts rustc internal `create_dir_racy` that
was created to handle such conditions to be new `create_dir_all`
implementation.
Drop of arrays is now translated in trans::block in an ugly way that I
should clean up in a later PR, and does not handle panics in the middle
of an array drop, but this commit & PR are growing too big.
These changes are in the same commit to avoid needing to adapt
meth::trans_object_shim to the new scheme.
One codegen-units test is broken because we instantiate the shims even
when they are not needed. This will be fixed in the next PR.
