allow RUST_BACKTRACE=0 to act as if unset
**UPDATE:** `RUST_BACKTRACE=0` to act as if the env. var is unset! (now `0` is what `disabled` was for, below)
When RUST_BACKTRACE is set to "disabled" then this acts as if the env. var is unset. So, either make sure `RUST_BACKTRACE` is not set OR set it to `disabled` to achieve the same effect.
Sample usage:
```bash
$ rustc -o /tmp/a.out -- <(echo 'fn main(){ panic!() }') && RUST_BACKTRACE=disabled /tmp/a.out
!! executing '/home/zazdxscf/build/1nonpkgs/rust/rust//x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/bin//rustc' with args: '-o /tmp/a.out -- /dev/fd/63'
thread '<main>' panicked at 'explicit panic', /dev/fd/63:1
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.
$ rustc -o /tmp/a.out -- <(echo 'fn main(){ panic!() }') && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 /tmp/a.out

Some programs(eg. [vim's syntactic](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic) used by [rust.vim](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim)) cannot unset the env. var RUST_BACKTRACE if it's already set(eg. in .bashrc) but [they can set it to some value](cb5533e159/system/Z575/OSes/gentoo/on_baremetal/filesystem_now/gentoo/home/zazdxscf/build/1nonpkgs/rust.vim/upd (L17)), and I needed to ensure the env. var is unset in order to avoid this issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29293
**EDIT:** Sample usage 2:
```bash
$ export RUST_BACKTRACE=1
$ rustc -o /tmp/a.out -- <(echo 'fn main(){ panic!() }') && /tmp/a.out
!! executing '/home/zazdxscf/build/1nonpkgs/rust/rust//x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/bin//rustc' with args: '-o /tmp/a.out -- /dev/fd/63'

Rust documentations
Building
To generate all the docs, follow the "Building Documentation" instructions in the README in the root of the repository. This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc for the books, 'std' and 'extra' libraries.
To generate HTML documentation from one source file/crate, do something like:
rustdoc --output html-doc/ --output-format html ../src/libstd/path.rs
(This, of course, requires a working build of the rustdoc tool.)
Additional notes
To generate an HTML version of a doc from Markdown manually, you can do something like:
rustdoc reference.md
(reference.md being the Rust Reference Manual.)
An overview of how to use the rustdoc command is available in the docs.
Further details are available from the command line by with rustdoc --help.
