1. Use next_back for last.
2. Use slices for computing nth. It might be possible to use the same
code for both the mut/const case but I don't know how that will play
with compiler optimizations.
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

These traits are currently all just unstable parts of the facade which are
implementation details for primitives further up the facade. This may make it
more difficult to find what set of methods you get if only linking to libcore,
but for now that's also unstable behavior.
Closes#22025
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 979][rfc] which changes the meaning of
the count parameter to the `splitn` function on strings and slices. The
parameter now means the number of items that are returned from the iterator, not
the number of splits that are made.

This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
This functions swaps the order of arguments to a few functions that previously
took (output, input) parameters, but now take (input, output) parameters (in
that order).
The affected functions are:
* ptr::copy
* ptr::copy_nonoverlapping
* slice::bytes::copy_memory
* intrinsics::copy
* intrinsics::copy_nonoverlapping
Closes#22890

This is technically a breaking change as it deprecates and unstables
some previously stable apis that were missed in the last round of
deprecations.

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:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

These new APIs have had some time to bake now, and no pressing issues have come
up so they should be ok for stabilizing. Specifically, these two APIs were
stabilized:
* `slice::from_raw_parts`
* `slice::from_raw_parts_mut`
These new APIs have had some time to bake now, and no pressing issues have come
up so they should be ok for stabilizing. Specifically, these two APIs were
stabilized:
* `slice::from_raw_parts`
* `slice::from_raw_parts_mut`
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.

Now that the necessary associated types exist for the `IntoIterator` trait this
commit stabilizes the trait as-is as well as all existing implementations.
`IntoIterator` now has an extra associated item:
``` rust
trait IntoIterator {
type Item;
type IntoIter: Iterator<Self=Self::Item>;
}
```
This lets you bind the iterator \"`Item`\" directly when writing generic functions:
``` rust
// hypothetical change, not included in this PR
impl Extend<T> for Vec<T> {
// you can now write
fn extend<I>(&mut self, it: I) where I: IntoIterator<Item=T> { .. }
// instead of
fn extend<I: IntoIterator>(&mut self, it: I) where I::IntoIter: Iterator<Item=T> { .. }
}
```
The downside is that now you have to write an extra associated type in your `IntoIterator` implementations:
``` diff
impl<T> IntoIterator for Vec<T> {
+ type Item = T;
type IntoIter = IntoIter<T>;
fn into_iter(self) -> IntoIter<T> { .. }
}
```
Because this breaks all downstream implementations of `IntoIterator`, this is a [breaking-change]

This is in preparation for stabilization of the `IntoIterator` trait. All
implementations and references to `Iter` need to be renamed to `IntoIter`.
[breaking-change]
New functions, slice::from_raw_parts and slice::from_raw_parts_mut,
are added to implement the lifetime convention as agreed in RFC PR #556.
The functions slice::from_raw_buf and slice::from_raw_mut_buf are
left deprecated for the time being.
