This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.

* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
This commit enables writing a stable implementation of the `Hasher` trait as
well as actually calculating the hash of a vlaue in a stable fashion. The
signature is stabilized as-is.
PR #23104 moved `is_null` and `offset` to an inherent impl on the raw pointer type.
I'm not sure whether or how it's possible to link to docs for that impl.

This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.

The method with which backwards compatibility was retained ended up leading to
documentation that rustdoc didn't handle well and largely ended up confusing.
This trait has proven quite useful when defining marker traits to avoid the
semi-confusing `PhantomFn` trait and it looks like it will continue to be a
useful tool for defining these traits.
Previously, impls for `[T; n]` were collected in the same place as impls for `[T]` and `&[T]`. This splits them out into their own primitive page in both core and std.
Linking `__pthread_get_minstack`, even weakly, was causing Debian’s `dpkg-shlibdeps` to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned dependency on libc6.
Closes#23628.
For the rust-call ABI, the last function argument is a tuple that gets
untupled for the actual call. For bare functions using this ABI, the
code has access to the tuple, so we need to tuple the arguments again.
But closures can't actually access the tuple. Their arguments map to the
elements in the tuple. So what we currently do is to tuple the arguments
and then immediately untuple them again, which is pretty useless and we
can just omit it.
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

This commit implements [RFC 909](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/909):
The `std::thread_local` module is now deprecated, and its contents are
available directly in `std::thread` as `LocalKey`, `LocalKeyState`, and
`ScopedKey`.
The macros remain exactly as they were, which means little if any code
should break. Nevertheless, this is technically a:

Closes#23547
This small commit stabilizes the `Error` trait as-is, except that `Send`
and `Debug` are added as constraints. The `Send` constraint is because
most uses of `Error` will be for trait objects, and by default we would
like these objects to be transferrable between threads. The `Debug`
constraint is to ensure that e.g. `Box<Error>` is `Debug`, and because
types that implement `Display` should certainly implement `Debug` in any case.
In the near future we expect to add `Any`-like downcasting features to
`Error`, but this is waiting on some additional
mechanisms (`Reflect`). It will be added before 1.0 via default methods.
