Extract book into a submodule
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39588
We probably don't want to land this till after the beta branches on friday, but would still ❤️ a review from @alexcrichton , since I am a rustbuild noob.
This pr:
1. removes the book
2. adds it back in as a submodule
3. the submodule includes both the old book and the new book
4. it also includes an index page explaining the difference in editions
5. it also includes redirect pages for the old book URLs.
6. so we build all that stuff too.

Fix race condition in fs::create_dir_all
The code would crash if the directory was created after create_dir_all
checked whether the directory already existed. This was contrary to
the documentation which claimed to create the directory if it doesn't
exist, implying (but not stating) that there would not be a failure
due to the directory existing.
Fix a spelling error in HashMap documentation, and slightly reword surrounding text for precision
Noticed while reading docs just now.
It's possible that the prior wording *meant* to state that the seed's randomness depends on the exact instant that the system RNG was created, I guess. But unless there's an API guarantee that this is the case, the wording seems over-precise. Is there a formal API guarantee that would forbid, say, the system RNG from generating all output using the Intel RDRAND instruction? I don't think the quality of output in that case would depend on when the RNG was created. Yet it seems to me like it could well be a valid source of randomness when computing the initial seed.
For that reason, tying the randomness of the seed, to the quality of the RNG's output *at the precise instant the seed is computed*, seems less confining. That instantaneous quality level could be determined by the quality at the instant the RNG was created -- but instantaneous quality need not be low for that precise reason.
Ignore the type of error altogether. The rationale is: it doesn't matter
what was the problem if the directory is there. In the previous versions
if the directory was there already we wouldn't even attempt to create
it, so we wouldn't know about the problem neither.
Make test path length smaller in `concurrent_recursive_mkdir` test.
It is more robust to not fail if any directory in a path was created
concurrently. This change lifts rustc internal `create_dir_racy` that
was created to handle such conditions to be new `create_dir_all`
implementation.
std: remove a workaround for privacy limitations
`std:🧵:Thread` implements a non-exported `NewThread` trait to allow for internal-only use of `Thread::new`. Nowadays we have `pub(crate)`, which accomplishes the same thing but much more idiomatically.
Rustdoc handles this correctly (I checked and I didn't see `Thread::new` on the rustdoc entry for `Thread` with this change), and the stage1 `rustc` emits the correct error still (I'm assuming that the stage1 compiler uses my `libstd`?):
```
$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/bin/rustc test.rs
error: method `new` is private
--> test.rs:4:18

4 | let thread = thread::Thread::new(None);

error: aborting due to previous error
```
Leftovers from #39594; From<Box> impls
These are a few more impls that follow the same reasoning as those from #39594.
What's included:
* `From<Box<str>> for String`
* `From<Box<[T]>> for Vec<T>`
* `From<Box<CStr>> for CString`
* `From<Box<OsStr>> for OsString`
* `From<Box<Path>> for PathBuf`
* `Into<Box<str>> for String`
* `Into<Box<[T]>> for Vec<T>`
* `Into<Box<CStr>> for CString`
* `Into<Box<OsStr>> for OsString`
* `Into<Box<Path>> for PathBuf`
* `<Box<CStr>>::into_c_string`
* `<Box<OsStr>>::into_os_string`
* `<Box<Path>>::into_path_buf`
* Tracking issue for latter three methods + three from previous PR.
Currently, the opposite direction isn't doable with `From` (only `Into`) because of the separation between `liballoc` and `libcollections`. I'm holding off on those for a later PR.
OsString::shrink_to_fit.
Considering how the other capacity-related methods are there, I found it odd that this one wasn't included.
Will create a tracking issue once I get an OK on this.
This change introduces a Dockerfile and script which builds a complete
Fuchsia toolchain which can be used to build Rust distribution for
Fuchsia. We only support cross-compiling at the moment, hence only
setting the target.
