ignore uninitialized submodules when checking if ./configure should be re-run
fixes for Box<[T]>

The pointer in the slice must not be null, because enum representations
make that assumption. The `exchange_malloc` function returns a non-null
sentinel for the zero size case, and it must not be passed to the
`exchange_free` lang item.

Since the length is always equal to the true capacity, a branch on the
length is enough for most types. Slices of zero size types are
statically special cased to never attempt deallocation. This is the same
implementation as `Vec<T>`.

Implement tuple and tuple struct indexing

This allows code to access the fields of tuples and tuple structs:

    let x = (1i, 2i);
    assert_eq!(x.1, 2);

    struct Point(int, int);
    let origin = Point(0, 0);
    assert_eq!(origin.0, 0);
    assert_eq!(origin.1, 0);
Avoid ever constructing cyclic types in the first place, rather than detecting them in resolve. This simplifies logic elsewhere in the compiler. cc #5527

auto merge of #17129 : epdtry/rust/misc/llvm-root-reconfig, r=brson

Currently `./configure --llvm-root=...` and similar flags will break incremental builds by forcing reconfiguration on every `make`.  This happens because `reconfig.mk` incorrectly treats submodules in the `-` (uninitialized) state as requiring reconfiguration, and `./configure` deliberately deinitializes unneeded submodules.  The fix is to reconfigure only when submodules are in the `+` state (wrong commit checked out).
auto merge of #16680 : brson/rust/readme, r=steveklabnik

This adds links to SO, reddit, and discuss to the README. The main intent is to start advertising discuss.rust-lang.org more, in a location that doesn't mislead casual users to it (people who are building Rust are more likely to be the right audience than those that are just visiting the web site).
auto merge of #17135 : brson/rust/wininst, r=alexcrichton

This builds on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/17109, putting the target triple into the installer name so that we can have both 32-bit and 64-bit.

The resulting installers will be called `rust-0.12.0-pre-x86_64-w64-mingw32.exe`, etc.

auto merge of #16866 : P1start/rust/tuple-indexing, r=brson

This allows code to access the fields of tuples and tuple structs behind the feature gate `tuple_indexing`:

```rust
#![feature(tuple_indexing)]

let x = (1i, 2i);
assert_eq!(x.1, 2);

struct Point(int, int);
let origin = Point(0, 0);
assert_eq!(origin.0, 0);
assert_eq!(origin.1, 0);
```

Implements [RFC 53](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/active/0053-tuple-accessors.md). Closes #16950.

auto merge of #17139 : brson/rust/lualatex, r=alexcrichton

Bugs in pdflatex (#12804) are preventing the guide from landing (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/16657). This solves the immediate problem by changing the build system to prefer lualatex, xelatex to pdflatex (which is apparently obsolete). Because the xelatex on the snapshot bot seems to completely ignore the `-output-directory` option, I also had to frob the makefiles a bit for that case.
auto merge of #17157 : nikomatsakis/rust/occurs-check, r=pcwalton

Avoid ever constructing cyclic types in the first place, rather than detecting them in resolve. This simplifies logic elsewhere in the compiler, in particular on the trait reform branch.
