This ensures that the `crate_type` attribute always contains a value,
and does not contain an invalid value.

This is the last `@mut` in `librustc` that does not depend on libsyntax.

(implicitly) less_eq.

If it's a trait method, this checks the stability attribute of the
method inside the trait definition. Otherwise, it checks the method
implementation itself.

Also remove all instances of 'self within the codebase.

This fixes #10889.

This replaces the link meta attributes with a pkgid attribute and uses a hash
of this as the crate hash. This makes the crate hash computable by things
other than the Rust compiler. It also switches the hash function ot SHA1 since
that is much more likely to be available in shell, Python, etc than SipHash.

Fixes #10188, #8523.

This bug showed up because the visitor only visited the path of the implemented
trait via walk_path (with no corresponding visit_path function). I have modified
the visitor to use visit_path (which is now overridable), and the privacy
visitor overrides this function and now properly checks for the privacy of all
paths.

Because the root module isn't actually an item, we need to do some hackish
handling of it.

Closes #10656.

Instead of forcibly always aborting compilation, allow usage of
 #[warn(unknown_features)] and related lint attributes to selectively abort
 compilation. By default, this lint is deny.

This provides a building block for fast thread-local storage. It does
not change the safety semantics of `static mut`.

Closes #10310
