* Marks `#[stable]` the contents of the `std::convert` module.
* Added methods `PathBuf::as_path`, `OsString::as_os_str`,
`String::as_str`, `Vec::{as_slice, as_mut_slice}`.
* Deprecates `OsStr::from_str` in favor of a new, stable, and more
general `OsStr::new`.
* Adds unstable methods `OsString::from_bytes` and `OsStr::{to_bytes,
to_cstring}` for ergonomic FFI usage.

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.

This commit stabilizes the platform-specific `io` modules, specifically around
the traits having to do with the raw representation of each object on each
platform.
Specifically, the following material was stabilized:
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* `RawFd` (renamed from `Fd`)
* `RawHandle` (renamed from `Handle`)
* `RawSocket` (renamed from `Socket`)
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}` implementations
* `std::os::{unix, windows}::io`
The following material was added as `#[unstable]`:
* `FromRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* Implementations for various primitives
There are a number of future improvements that are possible to make to this
module, but this should cover a good bit of functionality desired from these
modules for now. Some specific future additions may include:
* `IntoRawXXX` traits to consume the raw representation and cancel the
auto-destructor.
* `Fd`, `Socket`, and `Handle` abstractions that behave like Rust objects and
have nice methods for various syscalls.
At this time though, these are considered backwards-compatible extensions and
will not be stabilized at this time.
This commit is a breaking change due to the addition of `Raw` in from of the
type aliases in each of the platform-specific modules.

This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

The windows/unix modules were currently inconsistent about the traits being
implemented for `DirEntry` and there isn't much particular reason why the traits
*couldn't* be implemented for `ReadDir` and `DirEntry`, so this commit ensures
that they are implemented.
Closes#22577
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.

Per [RFC 579](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/579), this commit
adds a new `std::process` module. This module is largely based on the
existing `std::old_io::process` module, but refactors the API to use
`OsStr` and other new standards set out by IO reform.
The existing module is not yet deprecated, to allow for the new API to
get a bit of testing before a mass migration to it.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 739][rfc] which adds a new `std::fs`
module to the standard library. This module provides much of the same
functionality as `std::old_io::fs` but it has many tweaked APIs as well as uses
the new `std::path` module.
