rustdoc: Fix broken struct field search links

Takes the same approach as variants, writes a redirect index page back to the
struct with an anchor to the field in question.

Closes #9524
rustdoc: Generate documentation for foreign items

This slurps up everything inside of an 'extern' block into the enclosing module
in order to document them. The documentation must be on the items themselves,
and they'll show up next to everything else on the module index pages.

remove type_use

This is broken, and results in poor performance due to the undefined
behaviour in the LLVM IR. LLVM's `mergefunc` is a *much* better way of
doing this since it merges based on the equality of the bytecode.

For example, consider `std::repr`. It generates different code per
type, but is not included in the type bounds of generics.

The `mergefunc` pass works for most of our code but currently hits an
assert on libstd. It is receiving attention upstream so it will be
ready soon, but I don't think removing this broken code should wait any
longer. I've opened #9536 about enabling it by default.

Fix for make -j race from #9531 injected by cleanup in b1a22518f0c687db.
mark globals as internal when not building a library

Closes #9494
Remove the printf{,ln}! macros

These are deprecated in favor of print{,ln}!
Update the compiler to not use printf/printfln
Update version numbers to 0.9-pre
Remove a little bit of unused C++
Remove `@mut Resolver`

Instead use &mut everywhere as much as possible and then reorganize lots of code
to get past the borrow checker.
std::vec: Use a valid value as lifetime dummy in iterator

The current implementation uses `&v[0]` for the lifetime struct field,
but that is a dangling pointer for iterators derived from zero-length
slices.

Example:

    let v: [int, ..0] = [];  println!("{:?}", v.iter())

    std::vec::VecIterator<,int>{ptr: (0x7f3768626100 as *()), end: (0x7f3768626100 as *()), lifetime: &139875951207128}

To replace this parameter, use a field of type `Option<&'self ()>`
that is simply initialized with `None`, but still allows the iterator to
have a lifetime parameter.
