This PR cuts down on a large number of `#[inline(always)]` and `#[inline]`
annotations in libcore for various core functions. The `#[inline(always)]`
annotation is almost never needed and is detrimental to debug build times as it
forces LLVM to perform inlining when it otherwise wouldn't need to in debug
builds. Additionally `#[inline]` is an unnecessary annoation on almost all
generic functions because the function will already be monomorphized into other
codegen units and otherwise rarely needs the extra "help" from us to tell LLVM
to inline something.
Overall this PR cut the compile time of a [microbenchmark][1] by 30% from 1s to
0.7s.

Major difference is that I removed Deref impls, as apparently LLVM has
trouble maintaining metadata with a `&ptr -> &ptr` API. This was cited
as a blocker for ever stabilizing this API. It wasn't that ergonomic
anyway.
* Added `get` to NonZero to replace Deref impl
* Added `as_ptr` to Shared/Unique to replace Deref impl
* Added Unique's `as_ref` and `as_mut` conveniences to Shared
* Added `::empty()` convenience constructor for Unique/Shared
* Deprecated `as_mut_ptr` on Shared in favour of `as_ptr`
* Improved documentation of types
Note that Shared now only refers to *mut, and not *const
This commit updates the version number to 1.17.0 as we're not on that version of
the nightly compiler, and at the same time this updates src/stage0.txt to
bootstrap from freshly minted beta compiler and beta Cargo.
This commit introduces 128-bit integers. Stage 2 builds and produces a working compiler which
understands and supports 128-bit integers throughout.
The general strategy used is to have rustc_i128 module which provides aliases for iu128, equal to
iu64 in stage9 and iu128 later. Since nowhere in rustc we rely on large numbers being supported,
this strategy is good enough to get past the first bootstrap stages to end up with a fully working
128-bit capable compiler.
In order for this strategy to work, number of locations had to be changed to use associated
max_value/min_value instead of MAX/MIN constants as well as the min_value (or was it max_value?)
had to be changed to use xor instead of shift so both 64-bit and 128-bit based consteval works
(former not necessarily producing the right results in stage1).
This commit includes manual merge conflict resolution changes from a rebase by @est31.
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
