The primary motivation here is to sidestep #19032 -- for a time, I thought that we should improve coherence or otherwise extend the language, but I now think that any such changes will require more time to bake. In the meantime, inheritance amongst the fn traits is both logically correct *and* a simple solution to that obstacle. This change introduces inheritance and modifies the compiler so that it can properly generate impls for closures and fns.
Things enabled by this PR (but not included in this PR):
1. An impl of `FnMut` for `&mut F` where `F : FnMut` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/23015).
2. A better version of `Thunk` I've been calling `FnBox`.
I did not include either of these in the PR because:
1. Adding the impls in 1 currently induces a coherence conflict with the pattern trait. This is interesting and merits some discussion.
2. `FnBox` deserves to be a PR of its own.
The main downside to this design is (a) the need to write impls by hand; (b) the possibility of implementing `FnMut` with different semantics from `Fn`, etc. Point (a) is minor -- in particular, it does not affect normal closure usage -- and could be addressed in the future in many ways (better defaults; convenient macros; specialization; etc). Point (b) is unfortunate but "just a bug" from my POV, and certainly not unique to these traits (c.f. Copy/Clone, PartialEq/Eq, etc). (Until we lift the feature-gate on implementing the Fn traits, in any case, there is room to correct both of these if we find a nice way.)
Note that I believe this change is reversible in the future if we decide on another course of action, due to the feature gate on implementing the `Fn` traits, though I do not (currently) think we should reverse it.
Fixes#18835.

This commit enables writing a stable implementation of the `Hasher` trait as
well as actually calculating the hash of a vlaue in a stable fashion. The
signature is stabilized as-is.
PR #23104 moved `is_null` and `offset` to an inherent impl on the raw pointer type.
I'm not sure whether or how it's possible to link to docs for that impl.

This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.

impls. This is a [breaking-change] (for gated code) in that when you
implement `Fn` (`FnMut`) you must also implement `FnOnce`. This commit
demonstrates how to fix it.
This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.
The method with which backwards compatibility was retained ended up leading to
documentation that rustdoc didn't handle well and largely ended up confusing.
This trait has proven quite useful when defining marker traits to avoid the
semi-confusing `PhantomFn` trait and it looks like it will continue to be a
useful tool for defining these traits.
Previously, impls for `[T; n]` were collected in the same place as impls for `[T]` and `&[T]`. This splits them out into their own primitive page in both core and std.
Linking `__pthread_get_minstack`, even weakly, was causing Debian’s `dpkg-shlibdeps` to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned dependency on libc6.
Closes#23628.
For the rust-call ABI, the last function argument is a tuple that gets
untupled for the actual call. For bare functions using this ABI, the
code has access to the tuple, so we need to tuple the arguments again.
But closures can't actually access the tuple. Their arguments map to the
elements in the tuple. So what we currently do is to tuple the arguments
and then immediately untuple them again, which is pretty useless and we
can just omit it.
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

This commit implements [RFC 909](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/909):
The `std::thread_local` module is now deprecated, and its contents are
available directly in `std::thread` as `LocalKey`, `LocalKeyState`, and
`ScopedKey`.
The macros remain exactly as they were, which means little if any code
should break. Nevertheless, this is technically a:

Closes#23547
This small commit stabilizes the `Error` trait as-is, except that `Send`
and `Debug` are added as constraints. The `Send` constraint is because
most uses of `Error` will be for trait objects, and by default we would
like these objects to be transferrable between threads. The `Debug`
constraint is to ensure that e.g. `Box<Error>` is `Debug`, and because
types that implement `Display` should certainly implement `Debug` in any case.
In the near future we expect to add `Any`-like downcasting features to
`Error`, but this is waiting on some additional
mechanisms (`Reflect`). It will be added before 1.0 via default methods.
