The reasons for doing this are:
* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
model
Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.

This commit moves all thread-blocking I/O functions from the std::os module.
Their replacements can be found in either std::rt::io::file or in a hidden
"old_os" module inside of native::file. I didn't want to outright delete these
functions because they have a lot of special casing learned over time for each
OS/platform, and I imagine that these will someday get integrated into a
blocking implementation of IoFactory. For now, they're moved to a private module
to prevent bitrot and still have tests to ensure that they work.
I've also expanded the extensions to a few more methods defined on Path, most of
which were previously defined in std::os but now have non-thread-blocking
implementations as part of using the current IoFactory.
The api of io::file is in flux, but I plan on changing it in the next commit as
well.
Closes#10057
Delete the following API functions:
- set_dirname()
- with_dirname()
- set_filestem()
- with_filestem()
- add_extension()
- file_path()
Also change pop() to return a boolean instead of an owned copy of the
old filename.
Standardize the is_sep() functions to be the same in both posix and
windows, and re-export from path. Update extra::glob to use this.
Remove the usage of either, as it's going away.
Move the WindowsPath-specific methods out of WindowsPath and make them
top-level functions of path::windows instead. This way you cannot
accidentally write code that will fail to compile on non-windows
architectures without typing ::windows anywhere.
Remove GenericPath::from_c_str() and just impl BytesContainer for
CString instead.
Remove .join_path() and .push_path() and just implement BytesContainer
for Path instead.
Remove FilenameDisplay and add a boolean flag to Display instead.
Remove .each_parent(). It only had one caller, so just inline its
definition there.
Rewrite these methods as methods on Display and FilenameDisplay. This
turns
do path.with_display_str |s| { ... }
into
do path.display().with_str |s| { ... }
Add a new trait BytesContainer that is implemented for both byte vectors
and strings.
Convert Path::from_vec and ::from_str to one function, Path::new().
Remove all the _str-suffixed mutation methods (push, join, with_*,
set_*) and modify the non-suffixed versions to use BytesContainer.
Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
