- Use the correct absolute path for relative paths within a rooted path
Use the configuration file path directory as the working directory for the file attribute of the appSettings section instead of the current working directory.
Add tests for AppSettingsSection.
[Jay] Fix memory corruptions: out-of-bounds and uninitialized value.
[GC] Make size dependent vars use size_t instead of glong or int.

This opens the door for huge nurseries.
[mcs] Explicit type parameter conversion to generic parameter
[MS.Build] Fix metadata item parsing wrong indexing.
[MS.Build] fix support for MSBuildExtensionsPath* to try more than one paths.

So, it seems that where MSBuildExtensionsPath* is evaluated should be likely
evaluated multiple times, and find actually matching files in one of those.
F# build .targets file expects that.
Since it is almost impossible to assume in which usage scenario it is going
to be evaluated multiple times (those properties can be used anywhere by
simple $(...) syntax), it limits the attempts only for Import() so far.
Old xbuild actually does so too. That way, the particular F# issue is fixed.
[mcs] Undo implicit object prefix for cref interface references
[mcs] Add explicit array conversion involving type parameters. Fixes #18474
Fix building mono with icc

When compiling mono with icc (ICC) 14.0.0 20130728 the build fails on

  CC     libmonoruntimesgen_la-sgen-stw.lo

with the following error:

Assembler messages:
Error: suffix or operands invalid for `lea'

Apparently icc (or the assembler) dislikes the rip-based LEA
operation. This can be worked around by manually assembling the
instruction and replacing it with the corresponding byte sequence.

Fix checking when libgdi is configured as "sibling"

When libgdiplus is configured as sibling, it is available in the
libgdiplus_loc path. This path was added to runtime/mono/config, but
it was later overridden by the prefix-based path.

Using the same approach as for libMonoPosixHelper fixed the lookup of
the library (performed, for example, when testing
MonoTests.System.Drawing without installing libgdiplus).
