This commit applies the stabilization of std::fmt as outlined in [RFC 380][rfc].
There are a number of breaking changes as a part of this commit which will need
to be handled to migrated old code:
* A number of formatting traits have been removed: String, Bool, Char, Unsigned,
Signed, and Float. It is recommended to instead use Show wherever possible or
to use adaptor structs to implement other methods of formatting.
* The format specifier for Boolean has changed from `t` to `b`.
* The enum `FormatError` has been renamed to `Error` as well as becoming a unit
struct instead of an enum. The `WriteError` variant no longer exists.
* The `format_args_method!` macro has been removed with no replacement. Alter
code to use the `format_args!` macro instead.
* The public fields of a `Formatter` have become read-only with no replacement.
Use a new formatting string to alter the formatting flags in combination with
the `write!` macro. The fields can be accessed through accessor methods on the
`Formatter` structure.
Other than these breaking changes, the contents of std::fmt should now also all
contain stability markers. Most of them are still #[unstable] or #[experimental]

Closes#18904
Ensure that the type parameters passed to methods outlive the call expression.
Fixes#18899.
This is yet another case of forgotten to consistently enforce the constraints in every instance where they apply. Might be nice to try and refactor to make this whole thing more DRY, but for now here's a targeted fix.

This fixes#17388.
Note that we don't check type parameters in trait-references and so on, so we accept some nonsense (I opened https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/18865). (It may be easier to just add support for `T::Foo` and deprecate the qpath code until we can implement it more robustly using the trait lookup infrastructure, not sure.)

Closes#18904
Make old-fashioned functions in the `std::os` module utilize `IoResult`.
I'm still investigating the possibility to include more functions in this pull request. Currently, it covers `getcwd()`, `make_absolute()`, and `change_dir()`. The issues covered by this PR are #16946 and #16315.
A few concerns:
- Should we provide `OsError` in distinction from `IoError`? I'm saying this because in Python, those two are distinguished. One advantage that we keep using `IoError` is that we can make the error cascade down other functions whose return type also includes `IoError`. An example of such functions is `std::io::TempDir::new_in()`, which uses `os::make_absolute()` as well as returns `IoResult<TempDir>`.
- `os::getcwd()` uses an internal buffer whose size is 2048 bytes, which is passed to `getcwd(3)`. There is no upper limitation of file paths in the POSIX standard, but typically it is set to 4096 bytes such as in Linux. Should we increase the buffer size? One thing that makes me nervous is that the size of 2048 bytes already seems a bit excessive, thinking that in normal cases, there would be no filenames that even exceeds 512 bytes.
Fixes#16946.
Fixes#16315.
Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks!
os::change_dir() returns bool, without a meaningful error message.
Change it to return IoResult<()> to indicate what IoError caused the
failure.
Fixes#16315.

os::getcwd() panics if the current directory is not available. According
to getcwd(3), there are three cases:
- EACCES: Permission denied.
- ENOENT: The current working directory has been removed.
- ERANGE: The buffer size is less than the actual absolute path.
This commit makes os::getcwd() return IoResult<Path>, not just Path,
preventing it from panicking.
As os::make_absolute() depends on os::getcwd(), it is also modified to
return IoResult<Path>.
Fixes#16946.

The trait has an obvious, sensible implementation directly on vectors so
the MemWriter wrapper is unnecessary. This will halt the trend towards
providing all of the vector methods on MemWriter along with eliminating
the noise caused by conversions between the two types. It also provides
the useful default Writer methods on Vec<u8>.
After the type is removed and code has been migrated, it would make
sense to add a new implementation of MemWriter with seeking support. The
simple use cases can be covered with vectors alone, and ones with the
need for seeks can use a new MemWriter implementation.
Following [the collections reform RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/235), this PR:
* Adds a new `borrow` module to libcore. The module contains traits for borrowing data (`BorrowFrom` and `BorrowFromMut`), generalized cloning (`ToOwned`), and a clone-on-write smartpointer (`Cow`).
* Deprecates the `_equiv` family of methods on `HashMap` and `HashSet` by instead generalizing the "normal" methods like `get` and `remove` to use the new `std::borrow` infrastructure.
* Generalizes `TreeMap`, `TreeSet`, `BTreeMap` and `BTreeSet` to use the new `std::borrow` infrastructure for lookups.

This is especially useful for declaring a static with external linkage in an executable. There isn't any way to do that currently since we mark everything in an executable as internal by default.
Also, a quick fix to have the no-compiler-rt target option respected when building staticlibs as well.
groundwork for better performance.
Key points:
- Separate out determining which method to use from actually selecting
a method (this should enable caching, as well as the pcwalton fast-reject strategy).
- Merge the impl selection back into method resolution and don't rely on
trait matching (this should perform better but also is needed to resolve some
kind of conflicts, see e.g. `method-two-traits-distinguished-via-where-clause.rs`)
- Purge a lot of out-of-date junk and coercions from method lookups.
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

This was a simple case of substitutions being applied inconsistently. I haven't investigated why type parameters are actually showing up in the closure type here, but trans needs to handle them correctly in any case.
