This commit adds stability markers for the APIs that have recently been aligned with [numerics reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/369). For APIs that were changed as part of that reform, `#[unstable]` is used to reflect the recency, but the APIs will become `#[stable]` in a follow-up pass.
In addition, a few aspects of the APIs not explicitly covered by the RFC are marked here -- in particular, constants for floats.
This commit does not mark the `uint` or `int` modules as `#[stable]`, given the ongoing debate out the names and roles of these types.

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]

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.
This commit 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.

Following [the collections reform
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/235),
this commit 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`).
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 moves chars() and lines() out of Buffer and into separate traits (CharsBuffer and LinesBuffer respectively) - this matches the pattern used for bytes() on Reader (with BytesReader).
(I came across this when I wanted a trait object of a Buffer, so that I could use read_line(); rustc errors about std::io::Buffer not being object-safe.)
[breaking-change]
Any uses of Buffer::lines() will need to use the new trait std::io::LinesBuffer.
The same is true for Buffer::chars() with std::io::CharsBuffer.
This test was somewhat sketchy already with a `loop` around `write`, so this
just adds some explicit synchronization to only call `write` once and guarantee
that the error happens.
Closes#18900
I found some occurrences of "failure" and "fails" in the documentation. I changed them to "panics" if it means a task panic. Otherwise I left it as is, or changed it to "errors" to clearly distinguish them.
Also, I made a minor fix that is breaking the layout of a module page. "Example" is shown in an irrelevant place from the following page: http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/index.html
It seems odd that the `AsRefReader`/`AsRefWriter` have the single method `by_ref()`. This creates the new traits `ByRefReader`/`ByRefWriter` and deprecates the old traits.
The previous implementation was very likely to cause panics during
unwinding through this process:
- child panics, drops its receiver
- taskpool comes back around and sends another job over to that child
- the child receiver has hung up, so the taskpool panics on send
- during unwinding, the taskpool attempts to send a quit message to
the child, causing a panic during unwinding
- panic during unwinding causes a process abort
This meant that TaskPool upgraded any child panic to a full process
abort. This came up in Iron when it caused crashes in long-running
servers.
This implementation uses a single channel to communicate between
spawned tasks and the TaskPool, which significantly reduces the complexity
of the implementation and cuts down on allocation. The TaskPool uses
the channel as a single-producer-multiple-consumer queue.
Additionally, through the use of send_opt and recv_opt instead of
send and recv, this TaskPool is robust on the face of child panics,
both before, during, and after the TaskPool itself is dropped.
Due to the TaskPool no longer using an `init_fn_factory`, this is a
[breaking-change]
otherwise, the API has not changed.
If you used `init_fn_factory` in your code, and this change breaks for
you, you can instead use an `AtomicUint` counter and a channel to
move information into child tasks.
This implements a considerable portion of rust-lang/rfcs#369 (tracked in #18640). Some interpretations had to be made in order to get this to work. The breaking changes are listed below:
[breaking-change]
- `core::num::{Num, Unsigned, Primitive}` have been deprecated and their re-exports removed from the `{std, core}::prelude`.
- `core::num::{Zero, One, Bounded}` have been deprecated. Use the static methods on `core::num::{Float, Int}` instead. There is no equivalent to `Zero::is_zero`. Use `(==)` with `{Float, Int}::zero` instead.
- `Signed::abs_sub` has been moved to `std::num::FloatMath`, and is no longer implemented for signed integers.
- `core::num::Signed` has been removed, and its methods have been moved to `core::num::Float` and a new trait, `core::num::SignedInt`. The methods now take the `self` parameter by value.
- `core::num::{Saturating, CheckedAdd, CheckedSub, CheckedMul, CheckedDiv}` have been removed, and their methods moved to `core::num::Int`. Their parameters are now taken by value. This means that
- `std::time::Duration` no longer implements `core::num::{Zero, CheckedAdd, CheckedSub}` instead defining the required methods non-polymorphically.
- `core::num::{zero, one, abs, signum}` have been deprecated. Use their respective methods instead.
- The `core::num::{next_power_of_two, is_power_of_two, checked_next_power_of_two}` functions have been deprecated in favor of methods defined a new trait, `core::num::UnsignedInt`
- `core::iter::{AdditiveIterator, MultiplicativeIterator}` are now only implemented for the built-in numeric types.
- `core::iter::{range, range_inclusive, range_step, range_step_inclusive}` now require `core::num::Int` to be implemented for the type they a re parametrized over.
