Rename TryFrom's associated type and implement str::parse using TryFrom.
Per discussion on the tracking issue, naming `TryFrom`'s associated type `Error` is generally more consistent with similar traits in the Rust ecosystem, and what people seem to assume it should be called. It also helps disambiguate from `Result::Err`, the most common "Err".
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33417#issuecomment-269108968.
`TryFrom<&str>` and `FromStr` are equivalent, so have the latter provide the former to ensure that. Using `TryFrom` in the implementation of `str::parse` means types that implement either trait can use it. When we're ready to stabilize `TryFrom`, we should update `FromStr` to
suggest implementing `TryFrom<&str>` instead for new code.

Although signatures with anonymous parameters may not be deprecated or
removed at this point, the team seems to agree that the ability to have
an anonymous parameter is unfortunate historical baggage, and that we
shouldn't create new code that uses it.

Fix subject-verb agreement in copypasta: "`AsRef` dereference" to
"`AsRef` dereferences".
Formalize "eg" to "e.g." Italicization of common Latin abbreviations
seems to be going out of style in written English, so I left it plain.
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
* Marks `#[stable]` the contents of the `std::convert` module.
* Added methods `PathBuf::as_path`, `OsString::as_os_str`,
`String::as_str`, `Vec::{as_slice, as_mut_slice}`.
* Deprecates `OsStr::from_str` in favor of a new, stable, and more
general `OsStr::new`.
* Adds unstable methods `OsString::from_bytes` and `OsStr::{to_bytes,
to_cstring}` for ergonomic FFI usage.

This removes the FromError trait, since it can now be expressed using
the new convert::Into trait. All implementations of FromError<E> where
changed to From<E>, and `try!` was changed to use From::from instead.
Because this removes FromError, it is a breaking change, but fixing it
simply requires changing the words `FromError` to `From`, and
`from_error` to `from`.

This commit revises `path` and `os_str` to use blanket impls for `From`
on reference types. This both cuts down on the number of required impls,
and means that you can pass through e.g. `T: AsRef<OsStr>` to
`PathBuf::from` without an intermediate call to `as_ref`.
It also makes a FIXME note for later generalizing the blanket impls for
`AsRef` and `AsMut` to use `Deref`/`DerefMut`, once it is possible to do
so.
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.
