Prior to this commit, the contents of the Unstable Book were assumed to
be unstable features. This commit moves features into 'language features'
or 'library features' subsections. It also moves the 'linker_flavor'
compiler flag into a new 'Compiler Flags' subsection.
Even though it was helpful, I removed the tidy check that
cross-references the SUMMARY.md links with the Unstable Book directory
contents just because it would be difficult to maintain.

std: Back out backtrace pruning logic
It was discovered #40264 that this backtrace pruning logic is a little too
aggressive, so while we figure how out to handle #40264 this commit backs out
the changes to prune frames. Note that other cosmetic changes, such as better
path printing and such remain.
lower `move_val_init` during MIR construction
Because of its "magic" order-of-evaluation semantics, `move_val_init` must be lowered during MIR construction in order to work without needing a temporary.

convert calls to `visit_all_item_likes_in_krate`
We no longer need to track the tasks in these cases since these
particular tasks have no outputs (except, potentially, errors...) and
they always execute.

bootstrap: Don't workaround uname -m on Darwin
This no longer manifests on any versions of OSX that I could find.
How far back is Rust officially supported? I can try to get copies to test when this behaviour changed.
(Fun fact, at a minimum the comment already lies, since the flag is `-m` :))
Improve Process::spawn with piped stdio on Redox
- Adds `dup2`, and uses it for stdio piping
- Removes `O_CLOEXEC` from piped stdio, as `dup` on Redox does not disable O_CLOEXEC
Add `as_bytes()` for `FromUtf8Error`.
This change allows to obtain an underlying invalid UTF-8 bytes without `FromUtf8Error` destruction. Such method may be useful for example in a library that attempts to save both valid and invalid UTF-8 strings in some struct and to be able to provide immutable access to it without destruction.
Personally without this change I ended with `Result<String, (Vec<u8>, Utf8Error)`, which almost copies the functionality of `FromUtf8Error`, but allows immutable view access.
Instead of hard-coding the command to run, using the environment
variable `GDB_CMD` (that defaults to `gdb`) allows using a different
debugger than the default `gdb` executable.
This gives the possibility to use `cgdb` as the debugger, which provides
a nicer user interface. Note that one has to use `GDB_CMD="cgdb --"` to
use cgdb (note the trailing `--`) to let cgdb pass the proper arguments
to `gdb`.
There was a serious ARM codegen bug in LLVM that was fixed by #40779,
also backported to beta. This updates stage0 to 1.17.0-beta.3 to pick
up that change, so ARM can bootstrap natively again.

Add functions to safely transmute float to int
The safe subset of Rust tries to be as powerful as possible. While it is very powerful already, its currently impossible to safely transmute integers to floats. While crates exist that provide a safe interface, most prominently the `iee754` crate (which also inspired naming of the added functions), they themselves only use the unsafe `mem::transmute` function to accomplish this task.
Also, including an entire crate for just two lines of unsafe code seems quite wasteful.
That's why this PR adds functions to safely transmute integers to floats and vice versa, currently gated by the newly added `float_bits_conv` feature.
The functions added are no niche case. Not just `ieee754` [currently implements](https://github.com/huonw/ieee754/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L441) float to int transmutation via unsafe code but also the [very popular `byteorder` crate](https://github.com/BurntSushi/byteorder/blob/1.0.0/src/lib.rs#L258). This functionality of byteorder is in turn used by higher level crates. I only give two examples out of many: [chor](a7363ea9aa/src/ser.rs (L227)) and [bincode](f06a4cfcb5/src/serde/reader.rs (L218)).
One alternative would be to manually use functions like pow or multiplication by 1 to get a similar result, but they only work in the int -> float direction, and are not bit exact, and much slower (also, most likely the optimizer will never optimize it to a transmute because the conversion is not bit exact while the transmute is).
Tracking issue: #40470
We no longer need to track the tasks in these cases since these
particular tasks have no outputs (except, potentially, errors...) and
they always execute.
[on-demand] Turn monomorphic_const_eval into a proper query, not just a cache.
The error definitions and reporting logic, alongside with `eval_length` were moved to `librustc`.
Both local and cross-crate constant evaluation is on-demand now, but the latter is only used for `enum` discriminants, to replace the manual insertion into the cache which was done when decoding variants.

Rename compiler_barrier to compiler_fence
This addresses concerns raised following the merge of #41092. Specifically:
> The naming of these seems surprising: the multithreaded functions (and both the single and multithreaded intrinsics themselves) are fences, but this is a barrier. It's not incorrect, but the latter is both inconsistent with the existing functions and slightly confusing with another type in std (e.g., `Barrier`).
`compiler_fence` carries the same semantic implication that this is a compiler-only operation, while being more in line with the fence/barrier concepts already in use in `std`.
Currently the Cargo binary has jumped from 14M to 34M on the beta channel, which
appears to be due to the fact that we're compiling tools with debug information
inside them. This additionally means that the `rls` binary is 62M right now!
This wasn't an intentional change, so be sure to disable debuginfo when
compiling tools as it's just intended for the standard library and compile for
now.
Part of #29368.
* Added a new summary paragraph about std::path's parsing facilities
* Slightly exanded `Component`'s docs
* removed the now redundant section on component types from the module docs
* moved the section on path normalization during parsing to the docs on
`Path::components`
* Clarified difference between `Prefix` and `PrefixComponent` in their
respecive summary sentences
Hoedown big comeback!

:vis matcher for macro_rules
Resurrection of @DanielKeep's implementation posted with [RFC 1575](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1575).
@jseyfried was of the opinion that this doesn't need an RFC.
Needed before merge:
- [x] sign-off from @DanielKeep since I stole his code
- [x] feature gate
- [x] docs
