This does two things: 1) stops compressing metadata, 2) stops copying the metadata section, instead holding a reference to the buffer returned by the LLVM section iterator.
Not compressing metadata requires something like 7x the storage space, but makes running tests about 9% faster. This has been a time improvement on all platforms I've tested, including windows. I considered leaving compression as an option but it doesn't seem to be worth the complexity since we don't currently have any use cases where we need to save that space.
In order to avoid copying the metadata section I had to hack up extra::ebml a bit to support unsafe buffers. We should probably move it into librustc so that it can evolve to support the compiler without worrying about having a crummy interface.

Recent improvements to `&mut Trait` have made this work possible, and it solidifies that `ifmt` doesn't always have to return a string, but rather it's based around writers.
The method names in std::rt::io::extensions::WriterByteConversions are
the same as those in std::io::WriterUtils and a resolve error causes
rustc to fail after trying to find an impl of io::Writer instead of
trying to look for rt::io::Writer as well.
These new macros are all based on format! instead of fmt! and purely exist for
bootstrapping purposes. After the next snapshot, all uses of logging will be
migrated to these macros, and then after the next snapshot after that we can
drop the `2` suffix on everything
These aren't used for anything at the moment and cause some TLS hits
on some perf-critical code paths. Will need to put better thought into
it in the future.
This fixes issue #8731 . On Windows, if the git option core.autocrlf is true (github recommends users to turn on this flag - see https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings), the headers generated from the .in files will have syntatic errors, causing compilation to fail.
This documents how to use trait bounds in a (hopefully) user-friendly way, in the containers tutorial, and also documents the task watching implementation for runtime developers in kill.rs.

to_str, to_pretty_str, to_writer, and to_pretty_writer were at the top
level of extra::json, this moves them into an impl for Json to match
with what's been done for the rest of libextra and libstd. (or at least for vec and str)
Also meant changing some tests.
Closes#8676.
This makes it relatively easy for us to split testsuite load between machines in buildbot. I've added buildbot-side support for setting up builders with -a.b suffixes (eg. linux-64-opt-vg-0.5, linux-64-opt-vg-1.5, linux-64-opt-vg-2.5, linux-64-opt-vg-3.5, linux-64-opt-vg-4.5 causes the valgrind-supervised testsuite to split 5 ways across hosts).
Naturally, and sadly, turning off sanity checks in the runtime is
a noticable performance win. The particular test I'm running goes from
~1.5 s to ~1.3s.
Sanity checks are turned *on* when not optimizing, or when cfg
includes `rtdebug` or `rtassert`.
