Deprecate the asm! macro in favor of llvm_asm!
Since we will be changing the syntax of `asm!` soon, deprecate it and encourage people to use `llvm_asm!` instead (which preserves the old syntax). This will avoid breakage when `asm!` is changed.

Mozilla's IRC service was shut down in March 2020. The official
instant messaging variant has been Discord for a while, and most of
the links were already replaced by #61524.
This was the last line that came up with `irc.mozilla.org` or any
combination of "irc.*#[a-z]+" in a `git grep`:
git grep -i -E "irc.*#[a-z]+"
As there is only one other link directly to Rust's discord, I used the
same Markdown link `[rust-discord]` as in `bootstrap/README.md` to
stay consistent. This might come in handy if the chat platform changes
at a later point again.
As an aside: for those interested in the use of IRC, Mozilla's [wiki]
still offers a lot of in-depth knowledge.

They used to be covered by `optin_builtin_traits` but negative impls
are now applicable to all traits, not just auto traits.
This also adds docs in the unstable book for the current state of auto traits.
Currently, constructing a waker requires calling the unsafe
`Waker::from_raw` API. This API requires the user to manually construct
a vtable for the waker themself - which is both cumbersome and very
error prone. This API would provide an ergonomic, straightforward and
guaranteed memory-safe way of constructing a waker.
It has been our longstanding intention that the `Waker` type essentially
function as an `Arc<dyn Wake>`, with a `Wake` trait as defined here. Two
considerations prevented the original API from being shipped as simply
an `Arc<dyn Wake>`:
- We want to support futures on embedded systems, which may not have an
allocator, and in optimized executors for which this API may not be
best-suited. Therefore, we have always explicitly supported the
maximally-flexible (but also memory-unsafe) `RawWaker` API, and
`Waker` has always lived in libcore.
- Because `Waker` lives in libcore and `Arc` lives in liballoc, it has
not been feasible to provide a constructor for `Waker` from `Arc<dyn
Wake>`.
Therefore, the Wake trait was left out of the initial version of the
task waker API.
However, as Rust 1.41, it is possible under the more flexible orphan
rules to implement `From<Arc<W>> for Waker where W: Wake` in liballoc.
Therefore, we can now define this constructor even though `Waker` lives
in libcore.
This PR adds these APIs:
- A `Wake` trait, which contains two methods
- A required method `wake`, which is called by `Waker::wake`
- A provided method `wake_by_ref`, which is called by
`Waker::wake_by_ref` and which implementors can override if they
can optimize this use case.
- An implementation of `From<Arc<W>> for Waker where W: Wake + Send +
Sync + 'static`
- A similar implementation of `From<Arc<W>> for RawWaker`.
expand: Implement something similar to `#[cfg(accessible(path))]`
cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64797
The feature is implemented as a `#[cfg_accessible(path)]` attribute macro rather than as `#[cfg(accessible(path))]` because it needs to wait until `path` becomes resolvable, and `cfg` cannot wait, but macros can wait.
Later we can think about desugaring or not desugaring `#[cfg(accessible(path))]` into `#[cfg_accessible(path)]`.
This implementation is also incomplete in the sense that it never returns "false" from `cfg_accessible(path)`, it requires some tweaks to resolve, which is not quite ready to answer queries like this during early resolution.
However, the most important part of this PR is not `cfg_accessible` itself, but expansion infrastructure for retrying expansions.
Before this PR we could say "we cannot resolve this macro path, let's try it later", with this PR we can say "we cannot expand this macro, let's try it later" as well.
This is a pre-requisite for
- turning `#[derive(...)]` into a regular attribute macro,
- properly supporting eager expansion for macros that cannot yet be resolved like
```
fn main() {
println!(not_available_yet!());
}
macro_rules! make_available {
() => { #[macro_export] macro_rules! not_available_yet { () => { "Hello world!" } }}
}
make_available!();
```
Remove spotlight
I had a few comments saying that this feature was at best misunderstood or not even used so I decided to organize a poll about on [twitter](https://twitter.com/imperioworld_/status/1232769353503956994). After 87 votes, the result is very clear: it's not useful. Considering the amount of code we have just to run it, I think it's definitely worth it to remove it.

Stabilize assoc_int_consts associated int/float constants
The next step in RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2700 (tracking issue #68490). Stabilizing the associated constants that were added in #68325.
* Stabilize all constants under the `assoc_int_consts` feature flag.
* Update documentation on old constants to say they are soft-deprecated and the new ones should be preferred.
* Update documentation examples to use new constants.
* Remove `uint_macro` and use `int_macro` for all integer types since the macros were identical anyway.

Add primitive module to libcore
This re-exports the primitive types from libcore at `core::primitive` to allow
macro authors to have a reliable location to use them from.
Fixes#44865
Added From<Vec<NonZeroU8>> for CString
Added a `From<Vec<NonZeroU8>>` `impl` for `CString`
# Rationale
- `CString::from_vec_unchecked` is a subtle function, that makes `unsafe` code harder to audit when the generated `Vec`'s creation is non-trivial. This `impl` allows to write safer `unsafe` code thanks to the very explicit semantics of the `Vec<NonZeroU8>` type.
- One such situation is when trying to `.read()` a `CString`, see issue #59229.
- this lead to a PR: #59314, that was closed for being too specific / narrow (it only targetted being able to `.read()` a `CString`, when this pattern could have been generalized).
- the issue suggested another route, based on `From<Vec<NonZeroU8>>`, which is indeed a less general and more concise code pattern.
- quoting @shnatsel:
- > For me the main thing about making this safe is simplifying auditing - people have spent like an hour looking at just this one unsafe block in libflate because it's not clear what exactly is unchecked, so you have to look it up when auditing anyway. This has distracted us from much more serious memory safety issues the library had.
Having this trivial impl in stdlib would turn this into safe code with compiler more or less guaranteeing that it's fine, and save anyone auditing the code a whole lot of time.

Simplify the implementation.
Use `Vec::into_raw_parts` instead of a manual implementation of
`Vec::transmute`.
If `Vec::into_raw_parts` uses `NonNull` instead, then the code here
will need to be adjusted to take it into account (issue #65816)
Reduce the whitespace of safety comments
Step stage0 to bootstrap from 1.42
This also includes a commit which fixes the rustfmt downloading logic to redownload when the rustfmt channel changes, and bumps rustfmt to a more recent version.

Stable version is a simple change if necessary.
Proposal: [relnotes] (this changes how to best take advantage of `ManuallyDrop`, esp. wrt. `Drop::drop` and finalize-by-value members)
Atomic as_mut_ptr
I encountered the following pattern a few times: In Rust we use some atomic type like `AtomicI32`, and an FFI interface exposes this as `*mut i32` (or some similar `libc` type).
It was not obvious to me if a just transmuting a pointer to the atomic was acceptable, or if this should use a cast that goes through an `UnsafeCell`. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66136#issuecomment-557802477
Transmuting the pointer directly:
```rust
let atomic = AtomicI32::new(1);
let ptr = &atomic as *const AtomicI32 as *mut i32;
unsafe {
ffi(ptr);
}
```
A dance with `UnsafeCell`:
```rust
let atomic = AtomicI32::new(1);
unsafe {
let ptr = (&*(&atomic as *const AtomicI32 as *const UnsafeCell<i32>)).get();
ffi(ptr);
}
```
Maybe in the end both ways could be valid. But why not expose a direct method to get a pointer from the standard library?
An `as_mut_ptr` method on atomics can be safe, because only the use of the resulting pointer is where things can get unsafe. I documented its use for FFI, and "Doing non-atomic reads and writes on the resulting integer can be a data race."
The standard library could make use this method in a few places in the WASM module.
