This PR begins the process of [runtime removal](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/230) by dismantling the `librustuv` crate and associated event loop.
The result is that, while `libgreen` can still be used for task scheduling purposes, it will no longer be feasible to use green-threaded I/O.
Removing the libuv-based event loop eases the transition away from the runtime system, which will be done incrementally.
In terms of visible API changes, this PR:
* Removes `std::io::signal`, which was never implemented on the native threading model.
* Removes the `iotest!` macro, which was previously used to run I/O tests on both green and native threading models.
* Removes the `green_start!` macro for starting an application with a `librustuv` event loop.
* Removes the `librustuv` crate itself.
It also removes the `libuv` and `gyp` submodules and adjusts the build system and copyright notices accordingly.
If you wish to continue using `librustuv` and green-threaded I/O, consider using [green-rs](https://github.com/alexcrichton/green-rs/), which provides its own I/O stack.
This commit removes the `iotest!` macro from `std::io`. The macro was
primarily used to ensure that all io-related tests were run on both
libnative and libgreen/librustuv. However, now that the librustuv stack
is being removed, the macro is no longer needed.

RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/230) for more context.

Fixes that unit-like structs cannot be used if they are re-exported and used in another crate. (ICE)
The relevant changes are in `rustc::metadata::{decoder, encoder}` and `rustc::middle::ty`.
A test case is included.
The problem is that the expressoin `UnitStruct` is an `ExprPath` to an `DefFn`, which is of expr kind `RvalueDatumExpr`, but for unit-struct ctors the expr kind should be `RvalueDpsExpr`. I fixed this (in a I guess clean way) by introducing `CtorFn` in the metadata and including a `is_ctor` flag in `DefFn`.
prefer `Deref` over `DerefMut` in all other circumstances.
Because the compiler now prefers `Deref`, this can break code that
looked like:
let mut foo = bar.borrow_mut();
(*foo).call_something_that_requires_mutable_self();
Replace this code with:
let mut foo = bar.baz();
(&mut *foo).call_something_that_requires_mutable_self();
Closes#12825.

Modify ast::ExprMatch to include a new value of type ast::MatchSource,
making it easy to tell whether the match was written literally or
produced via desugaring. This allows us to customize error messages
appropriately.
Fixes that unit-like structs cannot be used if they are reexported and
used in another crate. The compiler fails with an ICE, because unit-like
structs are exported as DefFn and the expression `UnitStruct` is
interpreted as function pointer instead of a call to the constructor.
To resolve this ambiguity tuple-like struct constructors are now exported
as CtorFn. When `rustc::metadata::decoder` finds a CtorFn it sets a new
flag `is_ctor` in DefFn to true.
Relevant changes are in `rustc::metadata::{encoder, decoder}` and in
`rustc::middle::ty`.
Closes#12660 and #16973.
This is the bare minimum to stop using split stacks on Windows, fixing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/13259 and #14742, by turning on stack probes for all functions and disabling compiler and runtime support for split stacks on Windows.
It does not restore the out-of-stack error message, which requires more runtime work.
This includes a test that the Windows TCB is no longer being clobbered, but the out-of-stack test itself is pretty weak, only testing that the program exits abnormally, not that it isn't writing to bogus memory, so I haven't truly verified that this is providing the safety we claim.
A more complete solution is in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/16388, which has some unresolved issues yet.

Kind of a first draft because I'm not sure if this is the right approach. I believe the general idea of giving an error rather than an ICE in obligation_for_builtin_bound is right, but not sure about returning an Option, etc.
Also, could probably have a better error message.
The reason that 'ar' can fail with permission denied is that when
link-time optimizations are enabled, rustc copies libraries into a
temporary directory, preserving file permissions, and subsequently
modifies them using 'ar'.
The modification can fail because some package managers may install
libraries in system directories as read-only files, which means the
temporary file also becomes read-only when it is copied.
I have fixed this by giving the temporary file's owner read+write
permissions after the copy.
I have also added a regression test for this issue.
This PR makes rustc emit debug locations for *all* call and invoke statements in LLVM IR, if they are contained within a function that debuginfo is enabled for. This is important because LLVM does not handle the case where a function body containing debuginfo is inlined into another function with debuginfo, but the inlined call statement does not have a debug location. In this case, LLVM will not know where (in terms of source code coordinates) the function was inlined to and we end up with some statements still linked to the source locations in there original, non-inlined function without any indication that they are indeed an inline-copy. Later, when generating DWARF from the IR, LLVM will interpret this as corrupt IR and abort.
Unfortunately, the undesirable case described above can still occur when using LTO. If there is a crate compiled without debuginfo calling into a crate compiled with debuginfo, we again end up with the conditions triggering the error. This is why some LTO tests still fail with the dreaded assertion, if the standard library was built with debuginfo enabled. That is, `RUSTFLAGS_STAGE2=-g make rustc-stage2` will succeed but `RUSTFLAGS_STAGE2=-g make check` will still fail after this PR has been merged. I will open a separate issue for this problem.
Everyone agreed.
Fix#17078#14248 seems completed, as every src/test/bench/shootout-*.rs are relicensed after acceptation of this PR except:
- shootout-ackermann.rs: obsolete shootout bench
- shootout-fibo.rs: obsolete shootout bench
- shootout-k-nucleotide-pipes.rs: slower that shootout-k-nucleotide-pipes.rs (and not so interesting as a benchmark)
- shootout-pfib.rs: does not seems related to the shootout
@brson OK?
This makes it easier to experiment with improved quasiquoting as an ordinary
plugin library.
The list of quote macros in feature_gate.rs was already out of sync;
this commit also prevents that problem in the future.
