Previously, the entire runtime API surface was publicly exposed, but
that is neither necessary nor desirable. This commit hides most of the
module, using librustrt directly as needed. The arrangement will need to
be revisited when rustrt is pulled into std.

Previously, sync::mutex had to split between green and native runtime
systems and thus could not simply use the native mutex facility.
This commit rewrites sync::mutex to link directly to native mutexes; in
the future, the two will probably be coalesced into a single
module (once librustrt is pulled into libstd wholesale).
This commit removes most of the remaining runtime infrastructure related
to the green/native split. In particular, it removes the `Runtime` trait
and instead inlines the native implementation.

This links [`std::str`](http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/str/index.html) documentation to [literals](http://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html#literals) in the reference guide and collects examples of literals into one group at the beginning of the section. ~~The new tables are not exhaustive (some escapes were skipped) and so I try to link back to the respective sections where more detail is located.~~ The tables are are mostly exhaustive. I misunderstood some of the whitespace codes.
I don't think the tables actually look that nice if that's important and I'm not sure how it could be improved. I think it does do a good job of collecting available options together. I think listing the escapes together is particularly helpful because they vary with type and are embedded in paragraphs.
[EDIT]
The [ascii table](http://man-ascii.com/) is here and may be useful.
We add CFG_LLVM_TARGET_$(target) (which can be defined in any of the
mk/cfg/* files) and supply a default to the plain target name
CFG_LLVM_TARGET mirrors the value of llvm_target (aka llvm-target) in
the librustc_back runtime target specification.
We have a default value for this ('/usr/local'), so this warning is
printed ALL the time unless one does --enable-local-rust. As a result,
it doesn't really help at all.
Without this, if we we're using a non-standard host libdir, the target
bindir would not exist (and rustc would fail to write to the
non-existent directory).
If the expected rustc snapshot is not where we expect it to be,
complain and fail at that point rather than creating a empty rustc file
and continuing until we try to run it.
This commit makes `Cow` more usable by allowing it to be applied to
unsized types (as was intended) and providing some basic `ToOwned`
implementations on slice types. It also corrects the documentation for
`Cow` to no longer mention `DerefMut`, and adds an example.
In the general case, at least, it is not possible to make an object out of an unsized type. This is because the object type would have to store the fat pointer information for the `self` value *and* the vtable -- meaning it'd have to be a fat pointer with three words -- but for the compiler to know that the object requires three words, it would have to know the self-type of the object (is `self` a thin or fat pointer?), which of course it doesn't.
Fixes#18333.

Use the expected type to infer the argument/return types of unboxed closures. Also, in `||` expressions, use the expected type to decide if the result should be a boxed or unboxed closure (and if an unboxed closure, what kind).
This supercedes PR #19089, which was already reviewed by @pcwalton.
This PR changes `AsSlice` to work on unsized types, and changes the
`impl` for `&[T]` to `[T]`. Aside from making the trait more general,
this also helps some ongoing work with method resolution changes.
This is a breaking change: code that uses generics bounded by `AsSlice`
will have to change. In particular, such code previously often took
arguments of type `V` where `V: AsSlice<T>` by value. These should now
be taken by reference:
```rust
fn foo<Sized? V: AsSlice<T>>(v: &V) { .. }
```
A few std lib functions have been changed accordingly.
The PR also relaxes constraints on generics and traits within the
`core::ops` module and for the `Equiv` trait.

This commit adds stability markers for the APIs that have recently been aligned with [numerics reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/369). For APIs that were changed as part of that reform, `#[unstable]` is used to reflect the recency, but the APIs will become `#[stable]` in a follow-up pass.
In addition, a few aspects of the APIs not explicitly covered by the RFC are marked here -- in particular, constants for floats.
This commit does not mark the `uint` or `int` modules as `#[stable]`, given the ongoing debate out the names and roles of these types.
Due to some deprecation (see the RFC for details), this is a:
