The compiler would previously fall back to using `-L` and normal lookup paths if
a `--extern` path was specified but it did not match (wrong architecture, for
example). This commit removes this behavior and forces the hand of the crate
loader to *always* use the `--extern` path if specified, no matter whether it is
correct or not.
This fixes a bug today where the compiler's own libraries are favored in cross
compilation by accident. For example when a crate using the crates.io version of
`log` was cross compiled, Cargo would compile `log` for the target architecture.
When loading the macros, however, the compiler currently favors using the *host*
architecture (for plugins), and because the `--extern log=...` pointed at an
rlib for the target architecture, that lookup failed. The crate loader then
fell back on `-L` paths to find the compiler-used `log` crate (the wrong one!)
and then a compile failure happened because the logging macros are slightly
different.
New functions, `slice::from_raw_parts` and `slice::from_raw_parts_mut`,
are added to implement the lifetime convention as agreed in rust-lang/rfcs#556.
The functions `slice::from_raw_buf` and `slice::from_raw_mut_buf` are
left deprecated for the time being.
Holding back on changing the signature of `std::ffi::c_str_to_bytes` as consensus in rust-lang/rfcs#592 is building to replace it with a composition of other functions.

If you were still using `MaybeOwnedVector`, update your code to use `CowVec`.
[breaking-change]

We already removed `MaybeOwned` (the string equivalent) long time ago and with a much shorter deprecation period. It's time to let go.
The word is repeated twice in the message like:
error: obsolete syntax: `:`, `&mut:`, or `&:` syntax
This removes the word syntax that appears in messages after the second colon (:).
Second try to address https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/21196 . A lot that was removed at the end basically seemed repetitive showing simple variations on the same type. It seems more effective to just show more variants at the beginning instead.
If you want to pack values into an example, better to use `i32` or some digit than `String` because you don't need the `to_string()` method.
I didn't mention `derive` because:
* I can't explain it (only use it)
* I don't have a link to a good description (maybe rustbyexample but you probably want links internal)
* Giving more detail especially stating that `==` won't work and why should help quite a bit
I didn't `make test` or check links but I will if this will be merged.

(e.g., `Self::Output`)
This doesn't actually "resugar" qualified paths like `<Self as
Foo>::Output`, it just doesn't elide the prefix segments when rendering
cleaned paths like `Self::Output`.

The 'stable_features' lint helps people progress from unstable to
stable Rust by telling them when they no longer need a `feature`
attribute because upstream Rust has declared it stable.
This compares to the existing 'unstable_features' lint, which is used
to implement feature staging, and triggers on *any* use
of `#[feature]`.

This is 99% burning ints to the ground, but I also got rid of useless annotations or made code more \"idiomatic\" as I went along. Mostly changes in tests.
This was particularly helpful in the time just after OIBIT's
implementation to make sure things that were supposed to be Copy
continued to be, but it's now creates a lot of noise for types that
intentionally don't want to be Copy.

Currently \"k / 2\" generates one (k: uint) or two (k: int) \"br false,
...\" instructions and the corresponding basic blocks, producing quite
some noise and making the code unnecessarily hard to read.
Additionally we can skip translation if the code would end up
unreachable anyway.
This also removes two erroneous re-exports of the Entry variants, and so is incidentally a [breaking-change], though presumably no one should have been using those.
r? @aturon
- add `_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX` constant
- declare `struct passwd`
- convert `load_self` to `current_exe`
Note: OpenBSD don't provide system function to return a valuable Path
for `env::current_exe`. The implementation is currently based on the
value of `argv[0]`, which couldn't be used when executable is called via
PATH.
