Add `{into,from}_raw` to Rc and Arc
These methods convert to and from a `*const T` for `Rc` and `Arc` similar to the way they work on `Box`. The only slight complication is that `from_raw` needs to offset the pointer back to find the beginning of the `RcBox`/`ArcInner`.
I felt this is a fairly small addition, filling in a gap (when compared to `Box`) so it wouldn't need an RFC. The motivation is primarily for FFI.
(I'll create an issue and update a PR with the issue number if reviewers agree with the change in principle **Edit: done #37197**)
~~Edit: This was initially `{into,from}_raw` but concerns were raised about the possible footgun if mixed with the methods of the same name of `Box`.~~
Edit: This was went from `{into,from}_raw` to `{into,from}_inner_raw` then back to `{into,from}_raw` during review.
The constant name `MAX_REFCOUNT` suggests that the value is a
_hard_ limit on the amount of references to an `Arc`. This is
a more soft limit however. This commit adds a comment to the
constant to annotate this.

Working asmjs and wasm targets
This patch set results in a working standard library for the asmjs-unknown-emscripten and wasm32-unknown-emscripten targets. It is based on the work of @badboy and @rschulman.
It does a few things:
- Updates LLVM with the emscripten [fastcomp](https://github.com/rust-lang/llvm/pull/50) patches, which include the pnacl IR legalizer and the asm.js backend. This patch is thought not to have any significant effect on existing targets.
- Teaches rustbuild to correctly link C code with emscripten
- Updates gcc-rs to work correctly with emscripten
- Teaches rustbuild to run crate tests for emscripten with node
- Modifies Thread::new to return an error on emscripten, to facilitate debugging a common failure mode
- Modifies libtest to run in single-threaded mode for emscripten
- Ignores a host of tests that don't work yet, mostly dealing with threads and I/O
- Updates libc with wasm32 definitions (presently the same as asmjs)
- Adds a wasm32-unknown-emscripten target that feeds the output of LLVM's asmjs backend through emcc to generate wasm
Notes and caveats:
- This is only known to work with `--enable-rustbuild`.
- The wasm32 target can't be tested correctly yet because of issues in compiletest and limitations in node https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/4542, but hello.rs does seem to work when run on node via the binaryen interpreter
- This requires an up to date installation of the emscripten sdk from its incoming branch
- Unwinding is very broken
- When enabling the emscripten targets jemalloc is disabled for all targets, which results in test failures for the host
Next steps are to fix the jemalloc issue, start building the two emscripten targets on the auto builders, then start producing nightlies.

Implement 1581 (FusedIterator)
* [ ] Implement on patterns. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27721#issuecomment-239638642.
* [ ] Handle OS Iterators. A bunch of iterators (`Args`, `Env`, etc.) in libstd wrap platform specific iterators. The current ones all appear to be well-behaved but can we assume that future ones will be?
* [ ] Does someone want to audit this? On first glance, all of the iterators on which I implemented `FusedIterator` appear to be well-behaved but there are a *lot* of them so a second pair of eyes would be nice.
* I haven't touched rustc internal iterators (or the internal rand) because rustc doesn't actually call `fuse()`.
* `FusedIterator` can't be implemented on `std::io::{Bytes, Chars}`.
Closes: #35602 (Tracking Issue)
Implements: rust-lang/rfcs#1581
Long ago we discovered that threads which outlive main and then exit while the
rest of the program is exiting causes Windows to hang (#20704). That's what was
happening in this test so let's just not run this test any more.
Improve arc doc, fixing #32905
As issue #32905 detailed, I moved part of the module doc to the struct doc, and fixed some small places in the `alloc::arc`.
The original description suggests that the original `Rc<T>` itself is downgraded, which doesn't seem to be what the code does. At the same time, `Rc` is one of those types that can do weird things with only a shared reference, so I thought it would be good to be clear.
Support 16-bit pointers as well as i/usize
I'm opening this pull request to get some feedback from the community.
Although Rust doesn't support any platforms with a native 16-bit pointer at the moment, the [AVR-Rust][ar] fork is working towards that goal. Keeping this forked logic up-to-date with the changes in master has been onerous so I'd like to merge these changes so that they get carried along when refactoring happens. I do not believe this should increase the maintenance burden.
This is based on the original work of Dylan McKay (@dylanmckay).

rustbuild: Add support for crate tests + doctests
This commit adds support to rustbuild to run crate unit tests (those defined by
`#[test]`) as well as documentation tests. All tests are powered by `cargo test`
under the hood.
Each step requires the `libtest` library is built for that corresponding stage.
Ideally the `test` crate would be a dev-dependency, but for now it's just easier
to ensure that we sequence everything in the right order.
Currently no filtering is implemented, so there's not actually a method of
testing *only* libstd or *only* libcore, but rather entire swaths of crates are
tested all at once.
A few points of note here are:
* The `coretest` and `collectionstest` crates are just listed as `[[test]]`
entires for `cargo test` to naturally pick up. This mean that `cargo test -p
core` actually runs all the tests for libcore.
* Libraries that aren't tested all mention `test = false` in their `Cargo.toml`
* Crates aren't currently allowed to have dev-dependencies due to
rust-lang/cargo#860, but we can likely alleviate this restriction once
workspaces are implemented.
