r? @brson Package IDs can now refer to a subdirectory of a particular source
tree, and not just a top-level directory with a src/ directory as its
parent.
For example, referring to the package ID a/b/c/d , in workspace W,
if W/src/a is a package, will build the sources for the package in
a/b/c/d (and not other crates in W/src/a).
Closes#6408

This is mostly for consistency, as you can now compare raw pointers in
constant expressions or without the standard library.
It also reduces the number of `ptrtoint` instructions in the IR, making
tracking down culprits of what's usually an anti-pattern easier.
- Wrap calls into linenoise in a mutex so that the functions don't have to be `unsafe` any more (fixes#3921)
- Stop leaking every line that linenoise reads.
- Handle the situation of `rl::complete(some_function); do spawn { rl::read(""); }` which would crash (`fail!` that turned into an abort, possibly due to failing with the lock locked) when the user attempted to tab-complete anything.
- Add a test for the various functions; it has to be run by hand to verify anything works, but it won't bitrot.
The purpose of this macro is to further reduce the number of allocations which
occur when dealing with formatting strings. This macro will perform all of the
static analysis necessary to validate that a format string is safe, and then it
will wrap up the "format string" into an opaque struct which can then be passed
around.
Two safe functions are added (write/format) which take this opaque argument
structure, unwrap it, and then call the unsafe version of write/format (in an
unsafe block). Other than these two functions, it is not intended for anyone to
ever look inside this opaque struct.
The macro looks a bit odd, but mostly because of rvalue lifetimes this is the
only way for it to be safe that I know of.
Example use-cases of this are:
* third-party libraries can use the default formatting syntax without any
forced allocations
* the fail!() macro can avoid allocating the format string
* the logging macros can avoid allocation any strings
I plan on transitioning the standard logging/failing to using these macros soon. This is currently blocking on inner statics being usable in cross-crate situations (still tracking down bugs there), but this will hopefully be coming soon!
Additionally, I'd rather settle on a name now than later, so if anyone has a better suggestion other than `format_args`, I'm not attached to the name at all :)

Fixes issues #5557 and #8746.
This patch adds an additional family for struct-like variants, and encodes some struct-like aspects of such variants that can then be properly decoded by resolve.
Note that I am not 100% sure how this fix works, but it fixes the issue without breaking any of the tests on my machine.
The old documentation for for loops/expressions has been quite wrong since the change to iterators. This updates the docs to make them relevant to how for loops work now, if not very in-depth. There may be a need for updates giving more depth on how they work, such as detailing what method calls they make, but I don't know enough about the implementation to include that.
Who would have thought that namespaces are such a can of worms `:P` This is mostly because of some GDB idiosyncrasies (does not use namespace information but linkage-name attributes for displaying items contained in namespaces, also cannot handle functions lexically nested within functions), monomorphization, and information about external items only available from metadata.
This pull request tries to tackle the problem anyway:
* The `DW_AT_linkage_name` for functions is generated just to make GDB display a proper namespace-enabled function name. To this end, a pseudo-mangled name is generated, not corresponding to the real linkage name. This approach shows some success and could be extended to make GDB also show proper parameter types.
* As GDB won't accept subprogram DIEs nested within other subprogram DIEs, the `debuginfo` module now generates a *companion namespace* for each functions (iff needed). A function `fn abc()` will get a companion namespace with name `abc()`, which contains all items (modules, types, functions) declared within the functions scope. The real, proper solution, in my opinion, would be to faithfully reflect the program's lexical structure within DWARF (which allows arbitrary nesting of DIEs, afaik), but I am not sure LLVM's source level debugging implementation would like that and I am pretty sure GDB won't support this in the foreseeable future.
* Monomorphization leads to functions and companion namespaces like `somelib::some_func<int, float>()::some_other_function<bool, bool, bool>()`, which I think is the desired behaviour. There is some design space here, however. Maybe you people prefer `somelib::some_func()::some_other_function<bool, bool, bool>()` or `somelib::some_func()::some_other_function::<int, float, bool, bool, bool>()`.
The solution will work for now but there are a few things on my 'far future wish list':
* A real specification somewhere, what language constructs are mapped to what DWARF structures.
* Proper tests that directly compare the generated DWARF information to the expected results (possibly using something like [pyelftools](https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools) or llvm-dwarfdump)
* A unified implementation for crate-local and crate-external items (which would possibly involve beefing up `ast_map::path` and metadata a bit)
Any comments are welcome!
Closes#1541Closes#1542 (there might be other issues with function name prettiness, but this specific issue should be fixed)
Closes#7715 (source locations for structs and enums are now read correctly from the AST)
This test has to be run by a human, to check inputs etc. Fortunately, it
won't bitrot (syntactically, or type-check-ly; it might bitrot
semantically), as it is designed so that the test runner compiles it with
`--cfg robot_mode`, which is used to disable the actual running of code.
