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>`.

Closes #14395
Fix naming of windows installer
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
Prefer lualatex, xelatex, pdflatex, in that order. #12804
Don't ICE on macros with -Z show-span

Closes #17115
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.

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.
