This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.

This is a minor [breaking-change], as it changes what
`boxed_str.to_owned()` does (previously it would deref to `&str` and
call `to_owned` on that to get a `String`). However `Box<str>` is such an
exceptionally rare type that this is not expected to be a serious
concern. Also a `Box<str>` can be freely converted to a `String` to
obtain the previous behaviour anyway.
These new snapshots contain the knowledge of how to build the new triples of
32-bit MSVC and 32-bit FreeBSD, both of which should soon start having
nightlies/auto builders!
This does not currently register bitrig/freebsd snapshots but I believe those
will be retroactively added in the near future.
This commit starts passing the `--whole-archive` flag (`-force_load` on OSX) to
the linker when linking rlibs into dylibs. The primary purpose of this commit is
to ensure that the linker doesn't strip out objects from an archive when
creating a dynamic library. Information on how this can go wrong can be found in
issues #14344 and #25185.
The unfortunate part about passing this flag to the linker is that we have to
preprocess the rlib to remove the metadata and compressed bytecode found within.
This means that creating a dylib will now take longer to link as we've got to
copy around the input rlibs to a temporary location, modify them, and then
invoke the linker. This isn't done for executables, however, so the "hello
world" compile time is not affected.
This fix was instigated because of the previous commit where rlibs may not
contain multiple object files instead of one due to codegen units being greater
than one. That change prevented the main distribution from being compiled with
more than one codegen-unit and this commit fixes that.

This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
When this attribute is applied to a function, its return value gets the
noalias attribute, which is how you tell LLVM that the function returns
a "new" pointer that doesn't alias anything accessible to the caller,
i.e. it acts like a memory allocator.
Plain malloc doesn't need this attribute because LLVM already knows
about malloc and adds the attribute itself.
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
This is the kind of change that one is expected to need to make to
accommodate overloaded-`box`.
----
Note that this is not *all* of the changes necessary to accommodate
Issue 22181. It is merely the subset of those cases where there was
already a let-binding in place that made it easy to add the necesasry
type ascription.
(For unnamed intermediate `Box` values, one must go down a different
route; `Box::new` is the option that maximizes portability, but has
potential inefficiency depending on whether the call is inlined.)
----
There is one place worth note, `run-pass/coerce-match.rs`, where I
used an ugly form of `Box<_>` type ascription where I would have
preferred to use `Box::new` to accommodate overloaded-`box`. I
deliberately did not use `Box::new` here, because that is already done
in coerce-match-calls.rs.
----
Precursor for overloaded-`box` and placement-`in`; see Issue 22181.
Specifically, the following actions were taken:
* The `copy_memory` and `copy_nonoverlapping_memory` functions
to drop the `_memory` suffix (as it's implied by the functionality). Both
functions are now marked as `#[stable]`.
* The `set_memory` function was renamed to `write_bytes` and is now stable.
* The `zero_memory` function is now deprecated in favor of `write_bytes`
directly.
* The `Unique` pointer type is now behind its own feature gate called `unique`
to facilitate future stabilization.
* All type parameters now are `T: ?Sized` wherever possible and new clauses were
added to the `offset` functions to require that the type is sized.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 823][rfc] which is another pass over
the `std::hash` module for stabilization. The contents of the module were not
entirely marked stable, but some portions which remained quite similar to the
previous incarnation are now marked `#[stable]`. Specifically:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0823-hash-simplification.md
* `std::hash` is now stable (the name)
* `Hash` is now stable
* `Hash::hash` is now stable
* `Hasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher::new` and `new_with_keys` are now stable
* `Hasher for SipHasher` is now stable
* Many `Hash` implementations are now stable
All other portions of the `hash` module remain `#[unstable]` as they are less
commonly used and were recently redesigned.
This commit is a breaking change due to the modifications to the `std::hash` API
and more details can be found on the [RFC][rfc].
Closes#22467
