* Update all references to use `libc` as a result.
* Update all references to the new flat namespace.
* Moves all windows bindings into sys::c

f4be2026df std: Internalize almost all of std::rt
This commit does some refactoring to make almost all of the `std::rt` private.
Specifically, the following items are no longer part of its API:

* DEFAULT_ERROR_CODE
* backtrace
* unwind
* args
* at_exit
* cleanup
* heap (this is just alloc::heap)
* min_stack
* util

The module is now tagged as `#[doc(hidden)]` as the only purpose it's serve is
an entry point for the `panic!` macro via the `begin_unwind` and
`begin_unwind_fmt` reexports.

7a3fdfbf67 Remove morestack support
This commit removes all morestack support from the compiler which entails:

* Segmented stacks are no longer emitted in codegen.
* We no longer build or distribute libmorestack.a
* The `stack_exhausted` lang item is no longer required

The only current use of the segmented stack support in LLVM is to detect stack
overflow. This is no longer really required, however, because we already have
guard pages for all threads and registered signal handlers watching for a
segfault on those pages (to print out a stack overflow message). Additionally,
major platforms (aka Windows) already don't use morestack.

This means that Rust is by default less likely to catch stack overflows because
if a function takes up more than one page of stack space it won't hit the guard
page. This is what the purpose of morestack was (to catch this case), but it's
better served with stack probes which have more cross platform support and no
runtime support necessary. Until LLVM supports this for all platform it looks
like morestack isn't really buying us much.

cc #16012 (still need stack probes)
Closes #26458 (a drive-by fix to help diagnostics on stack overflow)

5cccf3cd25 syntax: Implement #![no_core]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.

6fa17b43d3 Rewrite the improper_ctypes lint.
Makes the lint a bit more accurate, and improves the quality of the diagnostic
messages by explicitly returning an error message.

The new lint is also a little more aggressive: specifically, it now
rejects tuples, and it recurses into function pointers.

10b103af48 std: Fix Windows XP compatibility
This commit enables executables linked against the standard library to run on
Windows XP. There are two main components of this commit:

* APIs not available on XP are shimmed to have a fallback implementation and use
  runtime detection to determine if they are available.
* Mutexes on Windows were reimplemented to use critical sections on XP where
  rwlocks are not available.

The APIs which are not available on XP are:

* SetFileInformationByHandle - this is just used by `File::truncate` and that
  function just returns an error now.
* SetThreadStackGuarantee - this is used by the stack overflow support on
  windows, but if this isn't available then it's just ignored (it seems
  non-critical).
* All condition variable APIs are missing - the shims added for these apis
  simply always panic for now. We may eventually provide a fallback
  implementation, but for now the standard library does not rely on condition
  variables for normal use.
* RWLocks, like condition variables, are missing entirely. The same story for
  condition variables is taken here. These APIs are all now panicking stubs as
  the standard library doesn't rely on RWLocks for normal use.

Currently, as an optimization, we use SRWLOCKs for the standard `sync::Mutex`
implementation on Windows, which is indeed required for normal operation of the
standard library. To allow the standard library to run on XP, this commit
reimplements mutexes on Windows to use SRWLOCK instances *if available* and
otherwise a CriticalSection is used (with some checking for recursive
locking).

With all these changes put together, a 32-bit MSVC-built executable can run on
Windows XP and print "hello world"

70ed3a48df std: Add a new env module
This is an implementation of [RFC 578][rfc] which adds a new `std::env` module
to replace most of the functionality in the current `std::os` module. More
details can be found in the RFC itself, but as a summary the following methods
have all been deprecated:

[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/578

* `os::args_as_bytes`   => `env::args`
* `os::args`            => `env::args`
* `os::consts`          => `env::consts`
* `os::dll_filename`    => no replacement, use `env::consts` directly
* `os::page_size`       => `env::page_size`
* `os::make_absolute`   => use `env::current_dir` + `join` instead
* `os::getcwd`          => `env::current_dir`
* `os::change_dir`      => `env::set_current_dir`
* `os::homedir`         => `env::home_dir`
* `os::tmpdir`          => `env::temp_dir`
* `os::join_paths`      => `env::join_paths`
* `os::split_paths`     => `env::split_paths`
* `os::self_exe_name`   => `env::current_exe`
* `os::self_exe_path`   => use `env::current_exe` + `pop`
* `os::set_exit_status` => `env::set_exit_status`
* `os::get_exit_status` => `env::get_exit_status`
* `os::env`             => `env::vars`
* `os::env_as_bytes`    => `env::vars`
* `os::getenv`          => `env::var` or `env::var_string`
* `os::getenv_as_bytes` => `env::var`
* `os::setenv`          => `env::set_var`
* `os::unsetenv`        => `env::remove_var`

Many function signatures have also been tweaked for various purposes, but the
main changes were:

* `Vec`-returning APIs now all return iterators instead
* All APIs are now centered around `OsString` instead of `Vec<u8>` or `String`.
  There is currently on convenience API, `env::var_string`, which can be used to
  get the value of an environment variable as a unicode `String`.

All old APIs are `#[deprecated]` in-place and will remain for some time to allow
for migrations. The semantics of the APIs have been tweaked slightly with regard
to dealing with invalid unicode (panic instead of replacement).

The new `std::env` module is all contained within the `env` feature, so crates
must add the following to access the new APIs:

    #![feature(env)]

a27fbac868 Revise std::thread API to join by default
This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.

In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).

As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.

In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.

Closes #18000

2b3477d373 libs: merge librustrt into libstd
This commit merges the `rustrt` crate into `std`, undoing part of the
facade. This merger continues the paring down of the runtime system.

Code relying on the public API of `rustrt` will break; some of this API
is now available through `std::rt`, but is likely to change and/or be
removed very soon.
