Now that the final bug fixes have been merged into sccache we can start
leveraging sccache on the MSVC builders on AppVeyor instead of relying on the
ad-hoc caching strategy of trigger files and whatnot.
I've tracked down what I believe is the last spurious sccache failure on #40240
to behavior in mio (carllerche/mio#583), and this commit updates the binaries to
a version which has that fix incorporated.
Now that mozilla/sccache#43 is fixed the caching works for MinGW on Windows. We
still can't use it for MSVC just yet, but I'll try to revive that branch at some
point.
Currently CI builds can fail spuriously during the LLVM build (#39003). I
believe this is due to sccache, and I believe that in turn was due to the fact
that the sccache server used to just be a raw mio server. Historically raw mio
servers are quite complicated to get right, but this is why we built Tokio! The
sccache server has been migrated to Tokio which I suspect would fix any latent
issues.
I have no confirmation of this (never been able to reproduce the deadlock
locally), but my hunch is that updating sccache to the master branch will fix
the timeouts during the LLVM build.
The binaries previously came from Gecko's infrastructure, but I've built new
ones by hand for Win/Mac/Linux and uploaded them to our CI bucket.
This commit starts adding the infrastructure for uploading release artifacts
from AppVeyor/Travis on each commit. The idea is that eventually we'll upload a
full release to AppVeyor/Travis in accordance with plans [outlined earlier].
Right now this configures Travis/Appveyor to upload all tarballs in the `dist`
directory, and various images are updated to actually produce tarballs in these
directories. These are nowhere near ready to be actual release artifacts, but
this should allow us to play around with it and test it out. Once this commit
lands we should start seeing artifacts uploaded on each commit.

This commit adds support for sccache, a ccache-like compiler which works on MSVC
and stores results into an S3 bucket. This also switches over all Travis and
AppVeyor automation to using sccache to ensure a shared and unified cache over
time which can be shared across builders.
The support for sccache manifests as a new `--enable-sccache` option which
instructs us to configure LLVM differently to use a 'sccache' binary instead of
a 'ccache' binary. All docker images for Travis builds are updated to download
Mozilla's tooltool builds of sccache onto various containers and systems.
Additionally a new `rust-lang-ci-sccache` bucket is configured to hold all of
our ccache goodies.
After reading some articles [1] [2] yesterday about Docker and the "init"
process I got to thinking about the problems that we've been seeing on Travis.
The basic problem is that a Linux system may need an "init" process to work
properly when processes become zombies. Docker by default doesn't handle this
and the root process typically isn't an init process, so this can occasionally
cause quite a few problems.
We've been seeing spurious errors on Travis inside containers which look like
OOM and such, but my guess is that zombie processes were being reparented to the
top-level shell. The shell didn't expect the zombies and then behaved very
strangely.
This commit fixes these problems by using Yelp's "dumb-init" program [2] as the
init process in all of our containers. This ensures that there's a valid init
ready to reap children when they're reparented, which our test suite apparently
generates a bunch of throughout the tests and such.

This commit configures our `.travis.yml` to test the full suite of tests we have
on Buildbot right now. A whole mess of docker images are added to the `src/ci`
directory which represent all the build environments for each configuration.
Each of these environments is then configured in `.travis.yml` to run on the
auto branch.
Note that the full matrix of tests aren't intended to be run on all PRs.
Instead, we continue to run only one entry in the matrix, forcing all others to
finish quickly. Only the `auto` branch should run the full matrix of builds.
Also note that the infrastructure hasn't quite been allocated yet to the
rust-lang/rust repository, so everything is disabled for now except for the one
build that happens on PRs. Once that infrastructure is allocated though we can
enable this and let it fly!
Notable modifications from the current test suite today:
* Android tests are run in rustbuild instead of the makefiles, for whatever
reason I couldn't get the makefiles to work on Travis.
* A debuginfo test was updated to work with the current version of the Android
NDK.
* Some dependencies in `mk/tests.mk` were fixed to allow running tests in
parallel.
