Types that implement Deref can cause weird error messages due to their
private fields conflicting with a field of the type they deref to, e.g.,
previously
struct Foo { x: int }
let a: Arc<Foo> = ...;
println!("{}", a.x);
would complain the the `x` field of `Arc` was private (since Arc has a
private field called `x`) rather than just ignoring it.
This patch doesn't fix that issue, but does mean one would have to write
`a._ptr` to hit the same error message, which seems far less
common. (This patch `_`-prefixes all private fields of
`Deref`-implementing types.)

The compiler now tracks which attributes were actually looked at during the compilation process and warns for those that were unused.
Some things of note:
* The tracking is done via thread locals, as it made the implementation more straightforward. Note that this shouldn't hamper any future parallelization as each task can have its own thread local state which can be merged for the lint pass. If there are serious objections to this, I can restructure things to explicitly pass the state around.
* There are a number of attributes that have to be special-cased and globally whitelisted. This happens for four reasons:
* The `doc` and `automatically_derived` attributes are used by rustdoc, but not by the compiler.
* The crate-level attributes `license`, `desc` and `comment` aren't currently used by anything.
* Stability attributes as well as `must_use` are checked only when the tagged item is used, so we can't guarantee that the compiler's looked at them.
* 12 attributes are used only in trans, which happens after the lint pass.
#14300 is adding infrastructure to track lint state through trans, which this lint should also be able to use to handle the last case. For the other attributes, the right solution would probably involve a specific pass to mark uses that occur in the correct context. For example, a `doc` attribute attached to a match arm should generate a warning, but will not currently.

There's a fair number of attributes that have to be whitelisted since
they're either looked for by rustdoc, in trans, or as needed. These can
be cleaned up in the future.
Some functions implemented for the Ascii struct have the same functionality as other functions implemented for the normal chars. For consistency, I think they should have the same name, so I renamed the functions in Ascii to match the names in the Char trait.
* Renamed `to_lower` to `to_lowercase`
* Renamed `to_upper` to `to_uppercase`
* Renamed `is_alpha` to `is_alphabetic`
* Renamed `is_alnum` to `is_alphanumeric`
* Renamed `is_lower` to `is_lowercase`
* Renamed `is_upper` to `is_uppercase`

On some systems (iOS for example) mutex is represented by opaque data structure which doesn't play well with simple data copy. Therefore mutex should be initialized from magic static value and filled by OS only when it landed RC.
Initially written for iOS but since landing iOS support might require quite a lot of time I think it is better to split parts which aren't directly related to iOS and merge them in

We can now mark arguments and returns as `nonnull` in LLVM. It's still somewhat limited by the fact that LLVM loses this information after inlining but it might help in certain cases.
All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
It can be easy to accidentally bloat the size of an enum by making one variant
larger than the others. When this happens, it usually goes unnoticed. This
commit adds a lint that can warn when the largest variant in an enum is more
than 3 times larger than the second-largest variant. This requires a little
bit of rejiggering, because size information is only available in trans, but
lint levels are only available in the lint context.
It is allow by default because it's pretty noisy, and isn't really *that*
undesirable.
