Update tools/epfl-publish

Currently, during each Scala nightly build, the epfl-publish script rsyncs the resulting dists/archives to the repository machine (chara).

Now, as a result of a change introduced a while back, dists/archives/ now also contains a symbolic link, created at the end of the build when the targets "pack-archives.latest.*" are invoked (in src/build/pack.xml). That was introduced in:

scala/scala@506bcfe71c93160ebfa0ca9b8b170b4b54e844e9
scala/scala@cb99853c8655686dae1288cbcd44a42cf1ea6609

This link, created in dists/archives/, is copied over as-is at the end of the rsync to chara by epfl-publish. On chara, however, the link points to an invalid target (the path is absolute).

Separately, the repository directory on chara is rsync'd every 30 minutes over to the machine that serves www.scala-lang.org, via cron. Rsynch finds that the link target does not exist, and generates an email with the crontab log, which is then duly sent to a system mailbox. Every 30 minutes. Since March. Needless to say, the mailbox is pretty large by now.

The fix is trivial, but this needs to be included in all the branches that are tested during the nightly. Since RC2 has just been cut, and the code frozen, I'm not sure how this change can be included without disruption; therefore, I'll just send a pull request on 2.10.0-wip, and let Josh/Paul take the appropriate steps.
SI-6632 SI-6633 Fixes issues and data corruption in ListBuffer

The early check in the parser of pattern irrefutability,
added in c82ecab, failed to consider InitCaps and
`backquoted` identifiers.

SI-6640 Better reporting of deficient classpaths.

In a55788e, StubSymbols were introduced to fail-slow when
the classpath was deficient. This allowed compilation to
succeed in cases when one didn't actually use the part of
class A which referred to some missing class B.

But a few problems were introduced.

Firstly, when the deferred error eventually happened, it was
signalled with abort(msg), rather than through a thrown
MissingRequirementError. The latter is desirable, as it doesn't
lead to printing a stack trace.

Second, the actual error message changed, and no longer
included the name of the class file that refers to the missing
class.

Finally, it seems that we can end up with a stub term symbol
in a situation where a class symbol is desired. An assertion
in the constructor of ThisType throws trips when calling .isClass,
before the useful error message from StubSymbol can be emitted.

This commit addresses these points, and rewords the error
a little to be more accessible. The last point is the most fragile
in this arrangement, there might be some whack-a-mole
required to find other places that also need this.
I don't see a clean solution for this, but am open to suggestions.

We should really build a facility in partest to delete
specified classfiles between groups in separate compilation
tests, in order to have tests for this. I'll work on that as a followup.

For now, here's the result of my manual testing:

Refine the message and triggering of MissingRequirementError.

 - To force a failure of the stub, call a new method `failIfStub`
   rather than `info`.
 - Offer a broader range of potential root causes in the
   error message.
SI-6440 Address regressions around MissingRequirementError

 Go back to using globalError to report when a stub's info is referenced,
 and only throw the MissingRequirementError when compilation really
 must abort due to having a StubTermSymbol in a place where a
 StubClassSymbol would have been a better choice.

 This situation arises when an entire package is missing from the
 classpath, as was the case in the reported bug.

 Adds `StoreReporterDirectTest`, which buffers messages issued
 during compilation for more structured interrogation. Use this
 in two test for manifests -- these tests were using a crude means
 of grepping compiler console output to focus on the relevant output,
 but this approach was insufficient with the new multi-line error
 message emitted as part of this change.

 Also used that base test class to add two new tests: one for
 the reported error (package missing), and another for a simpler
 error (class missing). The latter test shows how stub symbols
 allow code to compile if it doesn't the subset of signatures
 in some type that refer to a missing class.

 Gave the INFO/WARNING/ERROR members of Reporter sensible
 toString implementations; they inherit from Enumeration#Value
 in an unusual manner (why?) that means the built in toString of
 Enumeration printed `Severity@0`.
SI-6646 `ident` or Ident is always new binding.

The previous commit regressed in these cases:

    // no withFilter
    for (X <- List("A single ident is always a pattern")) println(X)
    for (`x` <- List("A single ident is always a pattern")) println(`x`)

At the top level of the LHS of a <-, such identifiers represent
new bindings, not stable identifier patterns.

Fix raw string interpolator: string parts which were after the first argument were still escaped

SI-6646 Fix regression in for desugaring.
SI-6648 copyAttrs must preserve TypeTree#wasEmpty

This field tracks whether the type is an inferred
on, subject to removal in `resetAttrs`, or an explicit
type, which must remain.

In ae5ff662, `ResetAttrs` was modified to duplicate
trees, rather than mutate trees in place. But the
tree copier didn't pass `wasEmpty` on to the new tree,
which in turn meant that the subsequent typing run
on the tree would not re-infer the types. If the
type refers to a local class, e.g. the anonymous
function in the enclosed test case, the reference
to the old symbol would persist.

This commit overrides `copyAttrs` in TypeTree to
copy `wasEmpty`.

We might consider representing this as a tree
attachment, but this would need to be validated
for the performance impact.

As reported by Curtis Stanford, with indication of what to fix.  standardInterpolator was not correctly
calling the passed in process function, so raw strings were not really raw.

SI-6661 - Remove obsolete implicit parameter of scala.concurrent.promise method

Clarification of @heathermiller:
This is an inconsistency introduced after refactoring implicit ExecutionContexts.
In commit 1dfce90246f7d334 the implicit ExecutionContexts were removed from everything else in Promise.scala,
but it appears that method promise was missed in the scala.concurrent package object, which would've made
sense to remove back then.
Fixes SI-6628, Revert "Fix for view isEmpty."

This reverts commit caf7eb6b56817fd1e1fbc1cf017f30e6f94c6bea.

I don't have a better idea right now than wholesale reversion.
SI-6634 Fixes data corruption issue in ListBuffer#remove

This is the cut-down version with minimally invasive changes,
e. g. keeping the "auto-correcting" bounds algorithm.
