Multiple people have asked for them, in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49137.
Given that the unsigned ones already exist,
they are very easy to add and not an additional maintenance burden.
Remove u8 cttz hack
This issue has since been fixed in LLVM: 1886c8e29a
Furthermore this code doesn't actually work, because the 8 literal does not match the $BITS provided from the macro invocation, so effectively this was just dead code. Ref #43024.
What LLVM does is still not ideal for CPUs that only have bsf but not tzcnt, will create a patch for that later.

This issue has since been fixed in LLVM:

Furthermore this doesn't actually work, because the "8" literal does
not match the $BITS provided from the macro invocation, so effectively
this code was not being used anyway...
* Update bootstrap compiler
* Update version to 1.33.0
* Remove some `#[cfg(stage0)]` annotations
Actually updating the version number is blocked on updating Cargo
Add TryFrom<&[T]> for [T; $N] where T: Copy
`TryFrom<&[T]> for &[T; $N]` (note *reference* to an array) already exists, but not needing to dereference makes type inference easier for example when using `u32::from_be_bytes`.
Also add doc examples doing just that.
Make `ParseIntError` and `IntErrorKind` fully public
Why would you write nice error types if I can't read them?
# Why
It can be useful to use `match` with errors produced when parsing strings to int. This would be useful for the `.err_match()` function in my [new crate](https://crates.io/crates/read_input).

I could also do this for `ParseFloatError` if people think it is a good idea.
I am new around hear so please tell me if I am getting anything wrong.

Implement the rotate_left and rotate_right operations using
llvm.fshl and llvm.fshr if they are available (LLVM >= 7).
Originally I wanted to expose the funnel_shift_left and
funnel_shift_right intrinsics and implement rotate_left and
rotate_right on top of them. However, emulation of funnel
shifts requires emitting a conditional to check for zero shift
amount, which is not necessary for rotates. I was uncomfortable
doing that here, as I don't want to rely on LLVM to optimize
away that conditional (and for variable rotates, I'm not sure it
can). We should revisit that question when we raise our minimum
version requirement to LLVM 7 and don't need emulation code
anymore.
