This commit stabilizes a few remaining bits of the `io::Error` type:
* The `Error::new` method is now stable. The last `detail` parameter was removed
and the second `desc` parameter was generalized to `E: Into<Box<Error>>` to
allow creating an I/O error from any form of error. Currently there is no form
of downcasting, but this will be added in time.
* An implementation of `From<&str> for Box<Error>` was added to liballoc to
allow construction of errors from raw strings.
* The `Error::raw_os_error` method was stabilized as-is.
* Trait impls for `Clone`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq` were removed from `Error` as it
is not possible to use them with trait objects.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of the `new` method as well as
the removal of the trait implementations for the `Error` type.

This commit performs a stabilization pass over the std::net module,
incorporating the changes from RFC 923. Specifically, the following actions were
taken:
Stable functionality:
* `net` (the name)
* `Shutdown`
* `Shutdown::{Read, Write, Both}`
* `lookup_host`
* `LookupHost`
* `SocketAddr`
* `SocketAddr::{V4, V6}`
* `SocketAddr::port`
* `SocketAddrV4`
* `SocketAddrV4::{new, ip, port}`
* `SocketAddrV6`
* `SocketAddrV4::{new, ip, port, flowinfo, scope_id}`
* Common trait impls for socket addr structures
* `ToSocketAddrs`
* `ToSocketAddrs::Iter`
* `ToSocketAddrs::to_socket_addrs`
* `ToSocketAddrs for {SocketAddr*, (Ipv*Addr, u16), str, (str, u16)}`
* `Ipv4Addr`
* `Ipv4Addr::{new, octets, to_ipv6_compatible, to_ipv6_mapped}`
* `Ipv6Addr`
* `Ipv6Addr::{new, segments, to_ipv4}`
* `TcpStream`
* `TcpStream::connect`
* `TcpStream::{peer_addr, local_addr, shutdown, try_clone}`
* `{Read,Write} for {TcpStream, &TcpStream}`
* `TcpListener`
* `TcpListener::bind`
* `TcpListener::{local_addr, try_clone, accept, incoming}`
* `Incoming`
* `UdpSocket`
* `UdpSocket::bind`
* `UdpSocket::{recv_from, send_to, local_addr, try_clone}`
Unstable functionality:
* Extra methods on `Ipv{4,6}Addr` for various methods of inspecting the address
and determining qualities of it.
* Extra methods on `TcpStream` to configure various protocol options.
* Extra methods on `UdpSocket` to configure various protocol options.
Deprecated functionality:
* The `socket_addr` method has been renamed to `local_addr`
This commit is a breaking change due to the restructuring of the `SocketAddr`
type as well as the renaming of the `socket_addr` method. Migration should be
fairly straightforward, however, after accounting for the new level of
abstraction in `SocketAddr` (protocol distinction at the socket address level,
not the IP address).
[breaking-change]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 592][r592] and [RFC 840][r840]. These
two RFCs tweak the behavior of `CString` and add a new `CStr` unsized slice type
to the module.
[r592]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0592-c-str-deref.md
[r840]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0840-no-panic-in-c-string.md
The new `CStr` type is only constructable via two methods:
1. By `deref`'ing from a `CString`
2. Unsafely via `CStr::from_ptr`
The purpose of `CStr` is to be an unsized type which is a thin pointer to a
`libc::c_char` (currently it is a fat pointer slice due to implementation
limitations). Strings from C can be safely represented with a `CStr` and an
appropriate lifetime as well. Consumers of `&CString` should now consume `&CStr`
instead to allow producers to pass in C-originating strings instead of just
Rust-allocated strings.
A new constructor was added to `CString`, `new`, which takes `T: IntoBytes`
instead of separate `from_slice` and `from_vec` methods (both have been
deprecated in favor of `new`). The `new` method returns a `Result` instead of
panicking. The error variant contains the relevant information about where the
error happened and bytes (if present). Conversions are provided to the
`io::Error` and `old_io::IoError` types via the `FromError` trait which
translate to `InvalidInput`.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of existing `#[unstable]` APIs
and new deprecation, and more detailed information can be found in the two RFCs.
Notable breakage includes:
* All construction of `CString` now needs to use `new` and handle the outgoing
`Result`.
* Usage of `CString` as a byte slice now explicitly needs a `.as_bytes()` call.
* The `as_slice*` methods have been removed in favor of just having the
`as_bytes*` methods.

[breaking-change]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 807][rfc] which adds a `std::net`
module for basic neworking based on top of `std::io`. This module serves as a
replacement for the `std::old_io::net` module and networking primitives in
`old_io`.
[rfc]: fillmein
The major focus of this redesign is to cut back on the level of abstraction to
the point that each of the networking types is just a bare socket. To this end
functionality such as timeouts and cloning has been removed (although cloning
can be done through `duplicate`, it may just yield an error).
With this `net` module comes a new implementation of `SocketAddr` and `IpAddr`.
This work is entirely based on #20785 and the only changes were to alter the
in-memory representation to match the `libc`-expected variants and to move from
public fields to accessors.
