Fix a spelling error in HashMap documentation, and slightly reword surrounding text for precision
Noticed while reading docs just now.
It's possible that the prior wording *meant* to state that the seed's randomness depends on the exact instant that the system RNG was created, I guess. But unless there's an API guarantee that this is the case, the wording seems over-precise. Is there a formal API guarantee that would forbid, say, the system RNG from generating all output using the Intel RDRAND instruction? I don't think the quality of output in that case would depend on when the RNG was created. Yet it seems to me like it could well be a valid source of randomness when computing the initial seed.
For that reason, tying the randomness of the seed, to the quality of the RNG's output *at the precise instant the seed is computed*, seems less confining. That instantaneous quality level could be determined by the quality at the instant the RNG was created -- but instantaneous quality need not be low for that precise reason.
minor wording tweak to slice::{as_ptr, as_mut_ptr}
Per #37334, the slice-as-pointer methods mentioned that "modifying the slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated", when in fact modifying the *slice* itself would cause no such change. (It is a borrow, after all!) This is a tweak to the wording of that line to stress it's the *collection* that could cause the buffer to be reallocated.

Point to let when modifying field of immutable variable
Point at the immutable local variable when trying to modify one of its
fields.
Given a file:
```rust
struct Foo {
pub v: Vec<String>
}
fn main() {
let f = Foo { v: Vec::new() };
f.v.push("cat".to_string());
}
```
present the following output:
```
error: cannot borrow immutable field `f.v` as mutable
--> file.rs:7:13
|
6 | let f = Foo { v: Vec::new() };
| - this should be `mut`
7 | f.v.push("cat".to_string());
| ^^^
error: aborting due to previous error
```
Fix#27593.
Add feature gate for rvalue-static-promotion
Probably needs more tests (which ones?) and there may be other things that need to be done. Also not sure whether the version that introduces the flag is really `1.15.1`.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1414.
Updates #38865.
Library stabilizations for 1.17
Details of the stabilizations are available in the commits. Includes only library stabilizations; there are a couple of compiler stabilizations that should also be done for 1.17.
Will need a beta backport, which I will create after approval.

travis: Ensure cargo links libcurl statically
We don't want a dynamic dependency in the library that we ship, so link it
statically by configuring curl-sys's build script to not pick up the system
version via pkg-config.
rustbuild: Retry downloads of OpenSSL source
We need this to compile Cargo and we download it at build time, but as like all
other network requests it has a chance of failing. This commit moves the source
of the tarball to a mirror (S3 seems semi-more-reliable most of the time) and
also wraps the download in a retry loop.

Inline functions Ordering::{then, then_with}
@jongiddy noticed bad performance due to the lack of inlining on `then`
and `then_with`. I confirmed that inlining really is the culprit by
creating a custom `then` function and repeating his benchmark on my
machine with and without the `#[inline]` attribute.
The numbers were exactly the same on my machine without the attribute.
With `#[inline]` I got the same performance as I did with manually
inlined implementation.
The problem was reported in #37053.
A few improvements to the `core::hash` top-level docs.
Primarily opened to address the concerns brought up in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/40498.
* run rustfmt on code blocks
* use `DefaultHasher` instead of deprecated `SipHasher`
* rename `hash` to `calculate_hash` to prevent confusion with the `hash`
method
std: remove a workaround for privacy limitations
`std:🧵:Thread` implements a non-exported `NewThread` trait to allow for internal-only use of `Thread::new`. Nowadays we have `pub(crate)`, which accomplishes the same thing but much more idiomatically.
Rustdoc handles this correctly (I checked and I didn't see `Thread::new` on the rustdoc entry for `Thread` with this change), and the stage1 `rustc` emits the correct error still (I'm assuming that the stage1 compiler uses my `libstd`?):
```
$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/bin/rustc test.rs
error: method `new` is private
--> test.rs:4:18

4 | let thread = thread::Thread::new(None);

Point out correct turbofish usage on `Foo<Bar<Baz>>`
Whenever we parse a chain of binary operations, as long as the first
operation is `<` and the subsequent operations are either `>` or `<`,
present the following diagnostic help:
use `::<...>` instead of `<...>` if you meant to specify type arguments
This will lead to spurious recommendations on situations like
`2 < 3 < 4` but should be clear from context that the help doesn't apply
in that case.
Fixes#40396.
Corrected very minor documentation detail about Unicode and Japanese
Japanese half-width and full-width romaji characters do have upper and lowercase according Unicode (but other Japanese characters do not). For example,
` assert_eq!('\u{FF21}'.to_lowercase().collect::<String>(),"\u{FF41}");`

Remove doc about highlighting code in other languages #40301
This doesn't appear to be true any longer, so removing it to avoid confusion. See #40301
Thoughts:
- may be a good idea to remove "Let's discuss the details of these code blocks.", as there's not much being discussed at this point;
- does `text` still work?
