Replace FNV with a faster hash function.
Hash table lookups are very hot in rustc profiles and the time taken within `FnvHash` itself is a big part of that. Although FNV is a simple hash, it processes its input one byte at a time. In contrast, Firefox has a homespun hash function that is also simple but works on multiple bytes at a time. So I tried it out and the results are compelling:
```
futures-rs-test 4.326s vs 4.212s --> 1.027x faster (variance: 1.001x, 1.007x)
helloworld 0.233s vs 0.232s --> 1.004x faster (variance: 1.037x, 1.016x)
html5ever-2016- 5.397s vs 5.210s --> 1.036x faster (variance: 1.009x, 1.006x)

syntex-0.42.2 32.268s vs 31.275s --> 1.032x faster (variance: 1.014x, 1.022x)
syntex-0.42.2-i 17.629s vs 16.559s --> 1.065x faster (variance: 1.013x, 1.021x)

(That's a stage1 compiler doing debug builds. Results for a stage2 compiler are similar.)
The attached commit is not in a state suitable for landing because I changed the implementation of FnvHasher without changing its name (because that would have required touching many lines in the compiler). Nonetheless, it is a good place to start discussions.
Profiles show very clearly that this new hash function is a lot faster to compute than FNV. The quality of the new hash function is less clear -- it seems to do better in some cases and worse in others (judging by the number of instructions executed in `Hash{Map,Set}::get`).

Stabilize `..` in tuple (struct) patterns
I'd like to nominate `..` in tuple and tuple struct patterns for stabilization.
This feature is a relatively small extension to existing stable functionality and doesn't have known blockers.
The feature first appeared in Rust 1.10 6 months ago.
An example of use: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36203
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33627

Most of the Rust community agrees that the vec! macro is clearer when
called using square brackets [] instead of regular brackets (). Most of
these ocurrences are from before macros allowed using different types of
brackets.
There is one left unchanged in a pretty-print test, as the pretty
printer still wants it to have regular brackets.
Convert byte literal pattern to byte array patterns when they are both
used together. so matching them is properly handled. I could've done the
conversion eagerly, but that could have caused a bad worst-case for
massive byte-array matches.
Fixes#18027.
Fixes#25051.
Fixes#26510.
Add comparison operators to boolean const eval.
I think it might be worth adding tests here, but since I don't know how or where to do that, I have not done so yet. Willing to do so if asked and given an explanation as to how.
Fixes#37047.
Fix ICE test in compiletest fail-tests
While working on Clippy which uses *compiletest*, I noticed that as long as all expected error are found, *compile-fail* tests will be marked *ok* even if there is an ICE. One function seems to have not been updated with JSON errors because ICEs are now reported like this:
```json
{"message":"../src/librustc/ty/context.rs:161: Attempted to intern `_` which contains inference types/regions in the global type context","code":null,"level":"error: internal compiler error","spans":[],"children":[],"rendered":null}
```
I don't think I can add a test for that.
I guess:
