5d9dfbd08f Stop using String for error codes.
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!

This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.

With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123)  // macro call

struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg");  // bare ident arg to macro call

\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")]  // string
struct Diag;
```

With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123  // constant

struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg");  // constant

\#[diag(name, code = E0123)]  // constant
struct Diag;
```

The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
  used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
  moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
  code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
  `codes.rs` file.

441dc3640a Remove (lots of) dead code
Found with https://github.com/est31/warnalyzer.

Dubious changes:
- Is anyone else using rustc_apfloat? I feel weird completely deleting
  x87 support.
- Maybe some of the dead code in rustc_data_structures, in case someone
  wants to use it in the future?
- Don't change rustc_serialize

  I plan to scrap most of the json module in the near future (see
  https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/418) and fixing the
  tests needed more work than I expected.

TODO: check if any of the comments on the deleted code should be kept.
