Since runtime is removed, rust has no tasks anymore and everything is moving
from being task-* to thread-*. Let’s rename TaskRng as well!
This is a breaking change. If a breaking change for consistency is not desired, feel free to close.
The first six commits are from an earlier PR (#19858) and have already been reviewed. This PR makes an awful hack in the compiler to accommodate slices both natively and in the index a range form. After a snapshot we can hopefully add the new Index impls and then we can remove these awful hacks.

All of the current std::sync primitives have poisoning enable which means that
when a task fails inside of a write-access lock then all future attempts to
acquire the lock will fail. This strategy ensures that stale data whose
invariants are possibly not upheld are never viewed by other tasks to help
propagate unexpected panics (bugs in a program) among tasks.
Currently there is no way to test whether a mutex or rwlock is poisoned. One
method would be to duplicate all the methods with a sister foo_catch function,
for example. This pattern is, however, against our [error guidelines][errors].
As a result, this commit exposes the fact that a task has failed internally
through the return value of a `Result`.
[errors]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0236-error-conventions.md#do-not-provide-both-result-and-fail-variants
All methods now return a `LockResult<T>` or a `TryLockResult<T>` which
communicates whether the lock was poisoned or not. In a `LockResult`, both the
`Ok` and `Err` variants contains the `MutexGuard<T>` that is being returned in
order to allow access to the data if poisoning is not desired. This also means
that the lock is *always* held upon returning from `.lock()`.
A new type, `PoisonError`, was added with one method `into_guard` which can
consume the assertion that a lock is poisoned to gain access to the underlying
data.
This is a breaking change because the signatures of these methods have changed,
often incompatible ways. One major difference is that the `wait` methods on a
condition variable now consume the guard and return it in as a `LockResult` to
indicate whether the lock was poisoned while waiting. Most code can be updated
by calling `.unwrap()` on the return value of `.lock()`.

We have the technology: no longer do you need to write closures to use `format_args!`.
This is a `[breaking-change]`, as it forces you to clean up old hacks - if you had code like this:
```rust
format_args!(fmt::format, "{} {} {}", a, b, c)
format_args!(|args| { w.write_fmt(args) }, "{} {} {}", x, y, z)
```
change it to this:
```rust
fmt::format(format_args!("{} {} {}", a, b, c))
w.write_fmt(format_args!("{} {} {}", x, y, z))
```
To allow them to be called with `format_args!(...)` directly, several functions were modified to
take `fmt::Arguments` by value instead of by reference. Also, `fmt::Arguments` derives `Copy`
now in order to preserve all usecases that were previously possible.
Implements [RFC 486](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/486). Fixes#19908.
* Rename `to_ascii_{lower,upper}` to `to_ascii_{lower,upper}case`, per #14401
* Remove the `Ascii` type and associated traits: `AsciiCast`, `OwnedAsciiCast`, `AsciiStr`, `IntoBytes`, and `IntoString`.
* As a replacement, add `.is_ascii()` to `AsciiExt`, and implement `AsciiExt` for `u8` and `char`.

According to [RFC 344][], methods that return `&[u8]` should have names ending in `bytes`. Though `include_bin!` is a macro not a method, it seems reasonable to follow the convention anyway.
We keep the old name around for now, but trigger a deprecation warning when it is used.

The previous behaviour of using the smallest type possible caused LLVM
to treat padding too conservatively, causing poor codegen. This commit
changes the behaviour to use an alignment-sized integer as the
discriminant. This keeps types the same size, but helps LLVM understand
the data structure a little better, resulting in better codegen.

This commit starts out by consolidating all `str` extension traits into one
`StrExt` trait to be included in the prelude. This means that
`UnicodeStrPrelude`, `StrPrelude`, and `StrAllocating` have all been merged into
one `StrExt` exported by the standard library. Some functionality is currently
duplicated with the `StrExt` present in libcore.
This commit also currently avoids any methods which require any form of pattern
to operate. These functions will be stabilized via a separate RFC.
Next, stability of methods and structures are as follows:
Stable
* from_utf8_unchecked
* CowString - after moving to std::string
* StrExt::as_bytes
* StrExt::as_ptr
* StrExt::bytes/Bytes - also made a struct instead of a typedef
* StrExt::char_indices/CharIndices - CharOffsets was renamed
* StrExt::chars/Chars
* StrExt::is_empty
* StrExt::len
* StrExt::lines/Lines
* StrExt::lines_any/LinesAny
* StrExt::slice_unchecked
* StrExt::trim
* StrExt::trim_left
* StrExt::trim_right
* StrExt::words/Words - also made a struct instead of a typedef
Unstable
* from_utf8 - the error type was changed to a `Result`, but the error type has
yet to prove itself
* from_c_str - this function will be handled by the c_str RFC
* FromStr - this trait will have an associated error type eventually
* StrExt::escape_default - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::escape_unicode - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::slice_chars - this function has yet to prove itself
* StrExt::slice_shift_char - awaiting conventions about slicing and shifting
* StrExt::graphemes/Graphemes - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::grapheme_indices/GraphemeIndices - this functionality may only be in
libunicode
* StrExt::width - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::utf16_units - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::is_char_boundary - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrVector::concat - this functionality may be replaced with iterators, but
it's not certain at this time
* StrVector::connect - as with concat, may be deprecated in favor of iterators
Deprecated
* StrAllocating and UnicodeStrPrelude have been merged into StrExit
* eq_slice - compiler implementation detail
* from_str - use the inherent parse() method
* is_utf8 - call from_utf8 instead
* replace - call the method instead
* truncate_utf16_at_nul - this is an implementation detail of windows and does
not need to be exposed.
* utf8_char_width - moved to libunicode
* utf16_items - moved to libunicode
* is_utf16 - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Items - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Item - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Encoder - moved to libunicode
* AnyLines - renamed to LinesAny and made a struct
* SendStr - use CowString<'static> instead
* str::raw - all functionality is deprecated
* StrExt::into_string - call to_string() instead
* StrExt::repeat - use iterators instead
* StrExt::char_len - use .chars().count() instead
* StrExt::is_alphanumeric - use .chars().all(..)
* StrExt::is_whitespace - use .chars().all(..)
Pending deprecation -- while slicing syntax is being worked out, these methods
are all #[unstable]
* Str - while currently used for generic programming, this trait will be
replaced with one of [], deref coercions, or a generic conversion trait.
* StrExt::slice - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_to - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_from - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::lev_distance - deprecated with no replacement
Awaiting stabilization due to patterns and/or matching

Part of #18424
This commit changes the semantics of `reserve` and `capacity` for Bitv and BitvSet to match conventions. It also introduces the notion of `reserve_index` and `reserve_index_exact` for collections with maximum-index-based capacity semantics.
Deprecates free function constructors in favour of functions on Bitv itself.
Changes `Bitv::pop` to return an Option rather than panicking.
Deprecates and renames several methods in favour of conventions.
Marks several blessed methods as unstable.
This commit also substantially refactors Bitv and BitvSet's implementations. The new implementation is simpler, cleaner, better documented, and more robust against overflows. It also reduces coupling between Bitv and BitvSet. Tests have been seperated into seperate submodules.
Fixes#16958
[breaking-change]
cannot use an `as` expression to coerce, so I used a one-off function
instead (this is a no-op in stage0, but in stage1+ it triggers
coercion from the fn pointer to the fn item type).
