8497c428e5 std: Create separate docs for the primitives
Having the primitive and module docs derived from the same source
causes problems, primarily that they can't contain hyperlinks
cross-referencing each other.

This crates dedicated private modules in `std` to document the
primitive types, then for all primitives that have a corresponding
module, puts hyperlinks in moth the primitive docs and the module docs
cross-linking each other.

This should help clear up confusion when readers find themselves on
the wrong page.

95602a759d Add trivial cast lints.
This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.

Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.

[breaking change]

* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:

```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```

Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:

```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```

7deb9abd1b Add isize, usize modules, deprecate int, uint modules
This PR introduces `isize` and `usize` modules to `core` and `std`, and
deprecates the existing `int` and `uint` modules. The rustdoc primitive
type links now point to these new modules.

Due to deprecation this is a:
