The space between `T` and `Bound` is the typical style used in code and
produced by rustdoc's rendering. Fixed first in Reflect's docs and then
I fixed all occurrences in docs I could find.
Rustdoc takes the first paragraph as a summary, so having a huge
paragraph that ends with introducing an example looked somewhat wrong on
the module page.
This is for discoverability. If someone wants to know what ?Sized means, then
Sized will be the only keyword they can use to search; so even though this is
technically a language matter, it makes sense to document it where it will be
looked for.
This PR implements the majority of RFC 1214. In particular, it implements:
- the new outlives relation
- comprehensive WF checking
For the most part, new code receives warnings, not errors, though 3 regressions were found via a crater run.
There are some deviations from RFC 1214. Most notably:
- we still consider implied bounds from fn ret; this intersects other soundness issues that I intend to address in detail in a follow-up RFC. Fixing this without breaking a lot of code probably requires rewriting compare-method somewhat (which is probably a good thing).
- object types do not check trait bounds for fear of encountering `Self`; this was left as an unresolved question in RFC 1214, but ultimately feels inconsistent.
Both of those two issues are highlighted in the tracking issue, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27579. #27579 also includes a testing matrix with new tests that I wrote -- these probably duplicate some existing tests, I tried to check but wasn't quite sure what to look for. I tried to be thorough in testing the WF relation, at least, but would welcome suggestions for missing tests.

This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard
library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some
spring cleaning of the deprecated functions.
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
This commit brings the `Error` trait in line with the [Error interoperation
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/201) by adding downcasting,
which has long been intended. This change means that for any `Error`
trait objects that are `'static`, you can downcast to concrete error
types.
To make this work, it is necessary for `Error` to inherit from
`Reflect` (which is currently used to mark concrete types as "permitted
for reflection, aka downcasting"). This is a breaking change: it means
that impls like
```rust
impl<T> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
must change to something like
```rust
impl<T: Reflect> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
except that `Reflect` is currently unstable (and should remain so for
the time being). For now, code can instead bound by `Any`:
```rust
impl<T: Any> Error for MyErrorType<T> { ... }
```
which *is* stable and has `Reflect` as a super trait. The downside is
that this imposes a `'static` constraint, but that only
constrains *when* `Error` is implemented -- it does not actually
constrain the types that can implement `Error`.

This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

Fixes#22914
Said issue was mostly fixed, as there wasn't any examples when it was initially posted. This is mostly just some re-wording of some things and some cleanup
This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
