bors e388a80c23 auto merge of #7117 : jensnockert/rust/freestanding, r=cmr
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.

This means that instead of having to know everywhere what the type is, like

~~~
f64::sin(x)
~~~

You can simply write code that uses the type-generic versions in num instead, this works for all types that implement the corresponding trait in num.

~~~
num::sin(x)
~~~

Note 1: If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.

Note 2: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use the
operator instead.

Note 3: This is just https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7090 reopened against master.

Pandoc, a universal document converter, is required to generate docs as HTML
from Rust's source code. It's available for most platforms here:
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html

Node.js (http://nodejs.org/) is also required for generating HTML from
the Markdown docs (reference manual, tutorials, etc.) distributed with
this git repository.

To generate all the docs, run `make docs` from the root of the repository.
This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc
for the 'std' and 'extra' libraries.

To generate HTML documentation from one source file/crate, do something like:

  rustdoc --output-dir html-doc/ --output-format html ../src/libstd/path.rs

(This, of course, requires that you've built/installed the `rustdoc` tool.)

To generate an HTML version of a doc from Markdown, without having Node.js
installed, do something like:

  pandoc --from=markdown --to=html --number-sections -o rust.html rust.md

The syntax for pandoc flavored markdown can be found at:
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#pandocs-markdown

A nice quick reference (for non-pandoc markdown) is at:
