This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

Closes#20068
This pass performs a second pass of stabilization through the `std::sync`
module, avoiding modules/types that are being handled in other PRs (e.g.
mutexes, rwlocks, condvars, and channels).
The following items are now stable
* `sync::atomic`
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_BOOL_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_BOOL`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_INT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_INT`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_UINT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_UINT`)
* `sync::Once`
* `sync::ONCE_INIT`
* `sync::Once::call_once` (was `doit`)
* C == `pthread_once(..)`
* Boost == `call_once(..)`
* Windows == `InitOnceExecuteOnce`
* `sync::Barrier`
* `sync::Barrier::new`
* `sync::Barrier::wait` (now returns a `bool`)
* `sync::Semaphore::new`
* `sync::Semaphore::acquire`
* `sync::Semaphore::release`
The following items remain unstable
* `sync::SemaphoreGuard`
* `sync::Semaphore::access` - it's unclear how this relates to the poisoning
story of mutexes.
* `sync::TaskPool` - the semantics of a failing task and whether a thread is
re-attached to a thread pool are somewhat unclear, and the
utility of this type in `sync` is question with respect to
the jobs of other primitives. This type will likely become
stable or move out of the standard library over time.
* `sync::Future` - futures as-is have yet to be deeply re-evaluated with the
recent core changes to Rust's synchronization story, and will
likely become stable in the future but are unstable until
that time comes.

```
-O, --remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file we get. (Only the file part
of the remote file is used, the path is cut off.)

I was reading through the Rust Guide (hopefully looking to learn some Rust), and I figured it would be a good idea to open a pull request with some of the errata I noticed along the way. Most of the changes are pretty mundane, but there are a couple that might raise a bit of discussion.
### Punctuation outside of 'key term' quotes
This is something that was inconsistent in the Guide. While the convention in American English is to place punctuation immediately following a quotation mark *inside* the quotation mark, it seems strange to do this with 'key terms', considering they are not a true quotation.
### Changed comment placement in 17.2 code block
This is what the code block in [17.2 — Ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes](http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html#ownership,-borrowing,-and-lifetimes) looks like in fullscreened Safari 8:
Some of the comments extend *just* too far, causing them to bleed into the next line, so I moved a few of them above the relevant lines of code to avoid this.
- Various grammatical changes
- Place punctuation outside of key term quotes
- Change comment placement in 17.2 code block
- Replace double hyphens with en dashes
This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.
Closes#18000

In US english, "that" is used in restrictive clauses in place of
"which", and often affects the meaning of sentences.
In UK english and many dialects, no distinction is
made.
While Rust devs want to avoid unproductive pedanticism, it is worth at
least being uniform in documentation such as:
http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/index.html
and also in cases where correct usage of US english clarifies the
sentence.
