The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

AsciiStr::to_lower is now AsciiStr::to_lowercase and AsciiStr::to_upper is AsciiStr::to_uppercase to match Ascii trait.
Part of issue #17790.
This is my first pull request so let me know if anything is incorrect.
Thanks!

compiletest: compact "linux" "macos" etc.as "unix".
liballoc: remove a superfluous "use".
libcollections: remove invocations of deprecated methods in favor of
their suggested replacements and use "_" for a loop counter.
libcoretest: remove invocations of deprecated methods; also add
"allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated method itself.
libglob: use "cfg_attr".
libgraphviz: add a test for one of data constructors.
libgreen: remove a superfluous "use".
libnum: "allow(type_overflow)" for type cast into u8 in a test code.
librustc: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libserialize: v[i] instead of get().
libstd/ascii: to_lowercase() instead of to_lower().
libstd/bitflags: modify AnotherSetOfFlags to use i8 as its backend.
It will serve better for testing various aspects of bitflags!.
libstd/collections: "allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated
method itself.
libstd/io: remove invocations of deprecated methods and superfluous "use".
Also add #[test] where it was missing.
libstd/num: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
invocations of a deprecated method.
libstd/path and rand: remove invocations of deprecated methods and
superfluous "use".
libstd/task and libsync/comm: "allow(deprecated)" for testing
a deprecated method itself.
libsync/deque: remove superfluous "unsafe".
libsync/mutex and once: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libterm: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
invocations of a deprecated method.
We still see a few warnings about using obsoleted native::task::spawn()
in the test modules for libsync. I'm not sure how I should replace them
with std::task::TaksBuilder and native::task::NativeTaskBuilder
(dependency to libstd?)

type they provide an implementation for.
This breaks code like:
mod foo {
struct Foo { ... }
}
impl foo::Foo {
...
}
Change this code to:
mod foo {
struct Foo { ... }
impl Foo {
...
}
}
Additionally, if you used the I/O path extension methods `stat`,
`lstat`, `exists`, `is_file`, or `is_dir`, note that these methods have
been moved to the the `std::io::fs::PathExtensions` trait. This breaks
code like:
fn is_it_there() -> bool {
Path::new("/foo/bar/baz").exists()
}
Change this code to:
use std::io::fs::PathExtensions;
fn is_it_there() -> bool {
Path::new("/foo/bar/baz").exists()
}
Closes#17059.
RFC #155.

Refactor the code in `llvm::back` that invokes LLVM optimization and codegen
passes so that it can be called from worker threads. (Previously, it used
`&Session` extensively, and `Session` is not `Share`.) The new code can handle
multiple compilation units, by compiling each unit to `crate.0.o`, `crate.1.o`,
etc., and linking together all the `crate.N.o` files into a single `crate.o`
using `ld -r`. The later linking steps can then be run unchanged.
The new code preserves the behavior of `--emit`/`-o` when building a single
compilation unit. With multiple compilation units, the `--emit=asm/ir/bc`
options produce multiple files, so combinations like `--emit=ir -o foo.ll` will
not actually produce `foo.ll` (they instead produce several `foo.N.ll` files).
The new code supports `-Z lto` only when using a single compilation unit.
Compiling with multiple compilation units and `-Z lto` will produce an error.
(I can't think of any good reason to do such a thing.) Linking with `-Z lto`
against a library that was built as multiple compilation units will also fail,
because the rlib does not contain a `crate.bytecode.deflate` file. This could
be supported in the future by linking together the `crate.N.bc` files produced
when compiling the library into a single `crate.bc`, or by making the LTO code
support multiple `crate.N.bytecode.deflate` files.
Not included are two required patches:
* LLVM: segmented stack support for DragonFly [1]
* jemalloc: simple configure patches
