This commit is an attempt to debug #38620 since we're unable to reproduce it
locally. It follows the [advice] of those with AppVeyor to use the `handle.exe`
tool to try to debug what processes have a handle to the file open.
This won't be guaranteed to actually help us, but hopefully it'll diagnose
something at some point?

This commit relegates all pretty tests to not get run by default and rather get
run as part of an "aux" test suite. This "aux" suite is renamed from the old
"cargotest" suite to just collect tests that don't need to run everywhere but
should at least pass on Unix/Windows.
This commit adds support for sccache, a ccache-like compiler which works on MSVC
and stores results into an S3 bucket. This also switches over all Travis and
AppVeyor automation to using sccache to ensure a shared and unified cache over
time which can be shared across builders.
The support for sccache manifests as a new `--enable-sccache` option which
instructs us to configure LLVM differently to use a 'sccache' binary instead of
a 'ccache' binary. All docker images for Travis builds are updated to download
Mozilla's tooltool builds of sccache onto various containers and systems.
Additionally a new `rust-lang-ci-sccache` bucket is configured to hold all of
our ccache goodies.
This commit switches the default build system for Rust from the makefiles to
rustbuild. The rustbuild build system has been in development for almost a year
now and has become quite mature over time. This commit is an implementation of
the proposal on [internals] which slates deletion of the makefiles on
2016-01-02.
[internals]: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/proposal-for-promoting-rustbuild-to-official-status/4368
This commit also updates various documentation in `README.md`,
`CONTRIBUTING.md`, `src/bootstrap/README.md`, and throughout the source code of
rustbuild itself.
Closes#37858
We hope to move to AppVeyor in the near future off of Buildbot + EC2. This adds
an `appveyor.yml` configuration file which is ready to run builds on the auto
branch. This is also accompanied with a few minor fixes to the build system and
such to accomodate AppVeyor.
The intention is that we're not switching over to AppVeyor entirely just yet,
but rather we'll watch the builds for a week or so. If everything checks out
then we'll start gating on AppVeyor instead of Buildbot!
