Improve `No stdlib` and related Documentation
This renames all lang item function names to the ones used in `libstd` and `libpanic_unwind`. It also explains the `eh_unwind_resume` lang item in the `libcore` documentation, where it was missing. A third function is also needed on certain compilation targets, so this was also added to the `No stdlib` documentation.
Use the same procedure as Python to determine whether a character is
printable, described in [PEP 3138]. In particular, this means that the
following character classes are escaped:
- Cc (Other, Control)
- Cf (Other, Format)
- Cs (Other, Surrogate), even though they can't appear in Rust strings
- Co (Other, Private Use)
- Cn (Other, Not Assigned)
- Zl (Separator, Line)
- Zp (Separator, Paragraph)
- Zs (Separator, Space), except for the ASCII space `' '` (`0x20`)
This allows for user-friendly inspection of strings that are not
English (e.g. compare `"\u{e9}\u{e8}\u{ea}"` to `"éèê"`).
Fixes#34318.

1. Fix the sections in the book to have the correct signatures. I've
also marked them as `ignore`; there's no way to set the `no_std`
feature for libc, so it pulls in the stdlib, so this wasn't even
testing the actual thing it was testing. Better to just ignore.
2. Correcting libcore's docs for factual inaccuracy, and add a note
about language items.
Fixes#33677
Although the set of APIs being stabilized this release is relatively small, the
trains keep going! Listed below are the APIs in the standard library which have
either transitioned from unstable to stable or those from unstable to
deprecated.
Stable
* `BTreeMap::{append, split_off}`
* `BTreeSet::{append, split_off}`
* `Cell::get_mut`
* `RefCell::get_mut`
* `BinaryHeap::append`
* `{f32, f64}::{to_degrees, to_radians}` - libcore stabilizations mirroring past
libstd stabilizations
* `Iterator::sum`
* `Iterator::product`
Deprecated
* `{f32, f64}::next_after`
* `{f32, f64}::integer_decode`
* `{f32, f64}::ldexp`
* `{f32, f64}::frexp`
* `num::One`
* `num::Zero`
Added APIs (all unstable)
* `iter::Sum`
* `iter::Product`
* `iter::Step` - a few methods were added to accomodate deprecation of One/Zero
Removed APIs
* `From<Range<T>> for RangeInclusive<T>` - everything about `RangeInclusive` is
unstable

cc #34529 (new tracking issue)
The fast path of the float parser relies on the rounding to happen
exactly and directly to the correct number of bits. On x87, instead,
double rounding would occour as the FPU stack defaults to 80 bits of
precision.
This can be fixed by setting the precision of the FPU stack before
performing the int to float conversion. This can be achieved by
changing the value of the x87 control word. This is a somewhat common
operation that is in fact performed whenever a float needs to be
truncated to an integer, but it is undesirable to add its overhead for
code that does not rely on x87 for computations (i.e. on non-x86
architectures, or x86 architectures which perform FPU computations on
using SSE).
Fixes `num::dec2flt::fast_path_correct` (on x87).
Where T is a type that can be compared for equality bytewise, we can use
memcmp. We can also use memcmp for PartialOrd, Ord for [u8] and by
extension &str.
This is an improvement for example for the comparison [u8] == [u8] that
used to emit a loop that compared the slices byte by byte.
One worry here could be that this introduces function calls to memcmp
in contexts where it should really inline the comparison or even
optimize it out, but llvm takes care of recognizing memcmp specifically.
This commit removes the `-D warnings` flag being passed through the makefiles to
all crates to instead be a crate attribute. We want these attributes always
applied for all our standard builds, and this is more amenable to Cargo-based
builds as well.
Note that all `deny(warnings)` attributes are gated with a `cfg(stage0)`
attribute currently to match the same semantics we have today
This is a standard "clean out libstd" commit which removes all 1.5-and-before
deprecated functionality as it's now all been deprecated for at least one entire
cycle.
This commit is the standard API stabilization commit for the 1.6 release cycle.
The list of issues and APIs below have all been through their cycle-long FCP and
the libs team decisions are listed below
Stabilized APIs
* `Read::read_exact`
* `ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof` (renamed from `UnexpectedEOF`)
* libcore -- this was a bit of a nuanced stabilization, the crate itself is now
marked as `#[stable]` and the methods appearing via traits for primitives like
`char` and `str` are now also marked as stable. Note that the extension traits
themeselves are marked as unstable as they're imported via the prelude. The
`try!` macro was also moved from the standard library into libcore to have the
same interface. Otherwise the functions all have copied stability from the
standard library now.
* The `#![no_std]` attribute
* `fs::DirBuilder`
* `fs::DirBuilder::new`
* `fs::DirBuilder::recursive`
* `fs::DirBuilder::create`
* `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt`
* `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt::mode`
* `vec::Drain`
* `vec::Vec::drain`
* `string::Drain`
* `string::String::drain`
* `vec_deque::Drain`
* `vec_deque::VecDeque::drain`
* `collections::hash_map::Drain`
* `collections::hash_map::HashMap::drain`
* `collections::hash_set::Drain`
* `collections::hash_set::HashSet::drain`
* `collections::binary_heap::Drain`
* `collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap::drain`
* `Vec::extend_from_slice` (renamed from `push_all`)
* `Mutex::get_mut`

Closes#28968
Unwinding across an FFI boundary is undefined behaviour, so we can mark
all external function as nounwind. The obvious exception are those
functions that actually perform the unwinding.
These commits move libcore into a state so that it's ready for stabilization, performing some minor cleanup:
* The primitive modules for integers in the standard library were all removed from the source tree as they were just straight reexports of the libcore variants.
* The `core::atomic` module now lives in `core::sync::atomic`. The `core::sync` module is otherwise empty, but ripe for expansion!
* The `core::prelude::v1` module was stabilized after auditing that it is a subset of the standard library's prelude plus some primitive extension traits (char, str, and slice)
* Some unstable-hacks for float parsing errors were shifted around to not use the same unstable hacks (e.g. the `flt2dec` module is now used for "privacy").
After this commit, the remaining large unstable functionality specific to libcore is:
* `raw`, `intrinsics`, `nonzero`, `array`, `panicking`, `simd` -- these modules are all unstable or not reexported in the standard library, so they're just remaining in the same status quo as before
* `num::Float` - this extension trait for floats needs to be audited for functionality (much of that is happening in #27823) and may also want to be renamed to `FloatExt` or `F32Ext`/`F64Ext`.
* Should the extension traits for primitives be stabilized in libcore?
I believe other unstable pieces are not isolated to just libcore but also affect the standard library.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1184
There are still problems in both the design and implementation of this, so we don't want it landing in 1.2.
