This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire
`std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md
The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary
changes being:
* The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods
are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice`
method.
* The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static
guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This
means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where
it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a
slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the
trailing nul byte if necessary.
* All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside
of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These
functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust
slice of `u8`.
Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in
the RFC. This is a:

The previous scheme made it possible for another user/attacker to cause the
temporary directory creation scheme to panic. All you needed to know was the pid
of the process you wanted to target ('other_pid') and the suffix it was using
(let's pretend it's 'sfx') and then code such as this would, in essence, DOS it:
for i in range(0u, 1001) {
let tp = &Path::new(format!("/tmp/rs-{}-{}-sfx", other_pid, i));
match fs::mkdir(tp, io::USER_RWX) { _ => () }
}
Since the scheme only 1000 times to create a temporary directory before dying,
the next time the attacked process called TempDir::new("sfx") after that would
typically cause a panic. Of course, you don't necessarily need an attacker to
cause such a DOS: creating 1000 temporary directories without closing any of the
previous would be enough to DOS yourself.
This patch broadly follows the OpenBSD implementation of mkstemp. It uses the
operating system's random number generator to produce random directory names
that are impractical to guess (and, just in case someone manages to do that, it
retries creating the directory for a long time before giving up; OpenBSD
retries INT_MAX times, although 1<<31 seems enough to thwart even the most
patient attacker).
As a small additional change while the file name is changing, this patch also
makes the argument that TempDir::new takes a prefix rather than a suffix.
This is because 1) it more closely matches what mkstemp and friends do 2)
if you're going to have a deterministic part of a filename, you really want it at
the beginning so that shell completion is useful.
* Implement (derive) `Clone` for `ChaChaRng`, `Isaac*Rng`, `StdRng` and `ThreadRng`;
* Derive `XorShiftRng` `Clone` implementation instead of implementing it explicitly.
`OsRng` is the only Rng which does not implement `Clone` or `Copy` after this patch because of its dependence on `Reader`.

The earlier collections stabilization did not cover the modules
themselves. This commit marks as stable those modules whose types have
been stabilized.

The casing transformations are left unstable (it is highly likely to be better to adopt the proper non-1-to-1 case mappings, per #20333) as are `is_xid_*`.
I've got a little todo list in the last commit of things I thought about/was told about that I haven't yet handled (I'd also like some feedback).
This "reexports" all the functionality of `core::char::CharExt` as
methods on `unicode::u_char::UnicodeChar` (renamed to `CharExt`).
Imports may need to be updated (one now just imports
`unicode::CharExt`, or `std::char::CharExt` rather than two traits from
either), so this is a
[breaking-change]
TODOs:
- ~~Entry is still `<'a, K, V>` instead of `<'a, O, V>`~~
- ~~BTreeMap is still outstanding~~.
- ~~Transform appropriate things into `.entry(...).get().or_else(|e| ...)`~~
Things that make me frowny face:
- I'm not happy about the fact that this `clone`s the key even when it's already owned.
- With small keys (e.g. `int`s), taking a reference seems wasteful.

This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.

The `Index[Mut]` traits now have one less input parameter, as the return type of the indexing operation is an associated type. This breaks all existing implementations.
---
binop traits (`Add`, `Sub`, etc) now have an associated type for their return type. Also, the RHS input parameter now defaults to `Self` (except for the `Shl` and `Shr` traits). For example, the `Add` trait now looks like this:
``` rust
trait Add<Rhs=Self> {
type Output;
fn add(self, Rhs) -> Self::Output;
}
```
The `Neg` and `Not` traits now also have an associated type for their return type.
This breaks all existing implementations of these traits.
---
Affected traits:
- `Iterator { type Item }`
- `IteratorExt` no input/output types, uses `<Self as Iterator>::Item` in its methods
- `DoubleEndedIterator` no input/output types, uses `<Self as Iterator>::Item` in its methods
- `DoubleEndedIteratorExt` no input/output types, uses `<Self as Iterator>::Item` in its methods
- `RandomAccessIterator` no input/output types
- `ExactSizeIterator` no input/output types, uses `<Self as Iterator>::Item` in its methods
This breaks all the implementations of these traits.
