show macro backtrace with -Z flag

Fixes #39413 by adding a facility to restore the "old school" macro expansion backtraces (previously removed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/61865384b8fa6d79d2b36cbd7c899eaf15f4aeea).

The restored functionality is accessed through the flag `-Z external-macro-backtrace`. Errors showing the truncated backtraces will suggest this flag.

### Example

Code: <details>
`a/src/lib.rs`
```rust
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! a {
    () => { a!(@) };
    (@) => { a!(@@) };
    (@@) => {
        syntax error;
    }
}
```
`b/src/main.rs`
```rust
#[macro_use] extern crate a;

macro_rules! b {
    () => { b!(@) };
    (@) => { b!(@@) };
    (@@) => {
        syntax error;
    }
}

fn main() {
    a!();
    b!();
}
```

- Save the actual source of macros in crate metadata, not just AST, so the output can be improved
    - Hopefully this would allow line numbers in the trace as well
- Show the actual macro invocations in the traces

bors 421a2113a8 Auto merge of #45039 - QuietMisdreavus:doc-spotlight, r=GuillaumeGomez,QuietMisdreavus
show in docs whether the return type of a function impls Iterator/Read/Write

Closes #25928

This PR makes it so that when rustdoc documents a function, it checks the return type to see whether it implements a handful of specific traits. If so, it will print the impl and any associated types. Rather than doing this via a whitelist within rustdoc, i chose to do this by a new `#[doc]` attribute parameter, so things like `Future` could tap into this if desired.

### Known shortcomings

~~The printing of impls currently uses the `where` class over the whole thing to shrink the font size relative to the function definition itself. Naturally, when the impl has a where clause of its own, it gets shrunken even further:~~ (This is no longer a problem because the design changed and rendered this concern moot.)

The lookup currently just looks at the top-level type, not looking inside things like Result or Option, which renders the spotlights on Read/Write a little less useful:

<details><summary>`File::{open, create}` don't have spotlight info (pic of old design)</summary>

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5217170/31209495-e59d027e-a950-11e7-9998-ceefceb71c07.png)

</details>

All three of the initially spotlighted traits are generically implemented on `&mut` references. Rustdoc currently treats a `&mut T` reference-to-a-generic as an impl on the reference primitive itself. `&mut Self` counts as a generic in the eyes of rustdoc. All this combines to create this lovely scene on `Iterator::by_ref`:

<details><summary>`Iterator::by_ref` spotlights Iterator, Read, and Write (pic of old design)</summary>

std: Add a new wasm32-unknown-unknown target

This commit adds a new target to the compiler: wasm32-unknown-unknown. This target is a reimagining of what it looks like to generate WebAssembly code from Rust. Instead of using Emscripten which can bring with it a weighty runtime this instead is a target which uses only the LLVM backend for WebAssembly and a "custom linker" for now which will hopefully one day be direct calls to lld.

Notable features of this target include:

* There is zero runtime footprint. The target assumes nothing exists other than the wasm32 instruction set.
* There is zero toolchain footprint beyond adding the target. No custom linker is needed, rustc contains everything.
* Very small wasm modules can be generated directly from Rust code using this target.
* Most of the standard library is stubbed out to return an error, but anything related to allocation works (aka `HashMap`, `Vec`, etc).
* Naturally, any `#[no_std]` crate should be 100% compatible with this new target.

This target is currently somewhat janky due to how linking works. The "linking" is currently unconditional whole program LTO (aka LLVM is being used as a linker). Naturally that means compiling programs is pretty slow! Eventually though this target should have a linker.

This target is also intended to be quite experimental. I'm hoping that this can act as a catalyst for further experimentation in Rust with WebAssembly. Breaking changes are very likely to land to this target, so it's not recommended to rely on it in any critical capacity yet. We'll let you know when it's "production ready".

### Building yourself

First you'll need to configure the build of LLVM and enable this target

```
$ ./configure --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown --set llvm.experimental-targets=WebAssembly
```

Next you'll want to remove any previously compiled LLVM as it needs to be rebuilt with WebAssembly support. You can do that with:

```
$ rm -rf build
```

And then you're good to go! A `./x.py build` should give you a rustc with the appropriate libstd target.

### Test support

Currently testing-wise this target is looking pretty good but isn't complete. I've got almost the entire `run-pass` test suite working with this target (lots of tests ignored, but many passing as well). The `core` test suite is [still getting LLVM bugs fixed](https://reviews.llvm.org/D39866) to get that working and will take some time. Relatively simple programs all seem to work though!

In general I've only tested this with a local fork that makes use of LLVM 5 rather than our current LLVM 4 on master. The LLVM 4 WebAssembly backend AFAIK isn't broken per se but is likely missing bug fixes available on LLVM 5. I'm hoping though that we can decouple the LLVM 5 upgrade and adding this wasm target!

### But the modules generated are huge!

It's worth nothing that you may not immediately see the "smallest possible wasm module" for the input you feed to rustc. For various reasons it's very difficult to get rid of the final "bloat" in vanilla rustc (again, a real linker should fix all this). For now what you'll have to do is:

    cargo install --git https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc
    wasm-gc foo.wasm bar.wasm

And then `bar.wasm` should be the smallest we can get it!

---

In any case for now I'd love feedback on this, particularly on the various integration points if you've got better ideas of how to approach them!

avoid the pprust infrastructure in macro expansion

This changes macro expansion to format the path of a macro directly
instead of usng the pprust infrastructure. The pprust infrastructure
tries to perform line-breaking in a slow fashion, which is undesired
when formatting the path of a macro.

This should to speed up expansion by a fair amount (I saw 20% on a

the profiler/time-passes is actually spent loading dependencies).

cc @nikomatsakis

Partial implementation of #44874.  Supports trait and struct methods with arbitrary self types, as long as the type derefs (transitively) to `Self`. Doesn't support raw-pointer `self` yet.

Methods with non-standard self types (i.e. anything other than `&self, &mut self, and Box<Self>`) are not object safe, because dynamic dispatch hasn't been implemented for them yet.

I believe this is also a (partial) fix for #27941.

Michael Hewson 497397ab4b initial implementation of arbitrary_self_types
If the feature is enabled, allow method `self` types to be any type
that auto-derefs to `self`.
- Currently, this supports inherent methods as well as trait methods.
The plan AFAIK is to only allow this for trait methods, so I guess it
won’t stay this way
- Dynamic dispatch isn’t implemented yet, so the compiler will ICE if
you define a trait method that takes `self: Rc<Self>` and try to call
it on an `Rc<Trait>`. I will probably just make those methods
non-object-safe initially.

kennytm 0d53ecd0c7 Rollup merge of #45784 - harpocrates:fix/print-parens-cast-lt, r=kennytm
Pretty print parens around casts on the LHS of `<`/`<<`

When pretty printing a cast expression occuring on the LHS of a `<` or `<<` expression, we should add parens around the cast. Otherwise, the `<`/`<<` gets interpreted as the beginning of the generics for the type on the RHS of the cast.

Consider:

    $ cat parens_cast.rs
    macro_rules! negative {
        ($e:expr) => { $e < 0 }
    }

    fn main() {
        negative!(1 as i32);
    }

Before this PR, the output of the following is not valid Rust:

    $ rustc -Z unstable-options --pretty=expanded parens_cast.rs
    #![feature(prelude_import)]
    #![no_std]
    #[prelude_import]
    use std::prelude::v1::*;
    #[macro_use]
    extern crate std as std;
    macro_rules! negative(( $ e : expr ) => { $ e < 0 });

    fn main() { 1 as i32 < 0; }

After this PR, the output of the following is valid Rust:

    $ rustc -Z unstable-options --pretty=expanded parens_cast.rs
    #![feature(prelude_import)]
    #![no_std]
    #[prelude_import]
    use std::prelude::v1::*;

    extern crate std as std;

    fn main() { (1 as i32) < 0; }

I've gone through several README/wiki style documents but I'm still not sure where to test this though. I'm not even sure if this sort of thing is tested...

Alec Theriault 45a0aa4b4d Pretty print parens around casts on the LHS of '<'
When pretty printing a cast expression occuring on the LHS of a '<'
or '<<' expression, we should add parens around the cast. Otherwise,
the '<'/'<<' gets interpreted as the beginning of the generics for
the type on the RHS of the cast.

Copy all `AsciiExt` methods to the primitive types directly in order to deprecate it later

**EDIT:** [this PR is ready now](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44042#issuecomment-333883548). I edited this post to reflect the current status of discussion, which is (apart from code review) pretty much settled.

---

This is my current progress in order to prepare stabilization of #39658. As discussed there (and in #39659), the idea is to deprecated `AsciiExt` and copy all methods to the type directly. Apparently there isn't really a reason to have those methods in an extension trait¹.

~~This is **work in progress**: copy&pasting code while slightly modifying the documentation isn't the most exciting thing to do. Therefore I wanted to already open this WIP PR after doing basically 1/4 of the job (copying methods to `&[u8]`, `char` and `&str` is still missing) to get some feedback before I continue. Some questions possibly worth discussing:~~

1. ~~Does everyone agree that deprecating `AsciiExt` is a good idea? Does everyone agree with the goal of this PR?~~ => apparently yes
2. ~~Are my changes OK so far? Did I do something wrong?~~
3. ~~The issue of the unstable-attribute is currently set to 0. I would wait until you say "Ok" to the whole thing, then create a tracking issue and then insert the correct issue id. Is that ok?~~
4. ~~I tweaked `eq_ignore_ascii_case()`: it now takes the argument `other: u8` instead of `other: &u8`. The latter was enforced by the trait. Since we're not bound to a trait anymore, we can drop the reference, ok?~~ => I reverted this, because the interface has to match the `AsciiExt` interface exactly.

¹ ~~Could it be that we can't write `impl [u8] {}`? This might be the reason for `AsciiExt`. If that is the case: is there a good reason we can't write such an impl block? What can we do instead?~~ => we couldn't at the time this PR was opened, but Simon made it possible.

Alex Crichton fbf9869702 rustc: Handle some libstd symbole exports better
Right now symbol exports, particularly in a cdylib, are handled by
assuming that `pub extern` combined with `#[no_mangle]` means "export
this". This isn't actually what we want for some symbols that the
standard library uses to implement itself, for example symbols related
to allocation. Additionally other special symbols like
`rust_eh_personallity` have no need to be exported from cdylib crate
types (only needed in dylib crate types).

This commit updates how rustc handles these special symbols by adding to
the hardcoded logic of symbols like `rust_eh_personallity` but also
adding a new attribute, `#[rustc_std_internal_symbol]`, which forces the
export level to be considered the same as all other Rust functions
instead of looking like a C function.

The eventual goal here is to prevent functions like `__rdl_alloc` from
showing up as part of a Rust cdylib as it's just an internal
implementation detail. This then further allows such symbols to get gc'd
by the linker when creating a cdylib.
