this is necessary so that the new idents are connected to the original strings.
this is important both for error messages, and so that top-level refs get connected
to the right things.
Rationale: having a function which fails means that the location of
failure which is output is that of the unreachable() function, rather
than the caller.
This is part of #8991 but is not all of it; current usage of
``std::util::unreachable()`` must remain so for the moment, until a new
snapshot is made; then I will remove that function entirely in favour of
using this macro.
Also redefine all of the standard logging macros to use more rust code instead
of custom LLVM translation code. This makes them a bit easier to understand, but
also more flexibile for future types of logging.
Additionally, this commit removes the LogType language item in preparation for
changing how logging is performed.
These commits fix bugs related to identically named statics in functions of implementations in various situations. The commit messages have most of the information about what bugs are being fixed and why.
As a bonus, while I was messing around with name mangling, I improved the backtraces we'll get in gdb by removing `__extensions__` for the trait/type being implemented and by adding the method name as well. Yay!

Remove __extensions__ from method symbols as well as the meth_XXX. The XXX is
now used to append a few characters at the end of the name of the symbol.
