Teach SVH computation to ignore more implementation artifacts.

In particular, this version of strict version hash (SVH) works much
like the deriving(Hash)-based implementation did, except that uses a
content-based hash that filters rustc implementation artifacts and
surface syntax artifacts.

Fix #14132.
Some basic acceptance tests for better SVH.
A test case for a bug I found in the new SVH while reviewing it.

Namely: non-pub `use` declarations *are* significant to the SVH
computation, since they can change which traits are part of the method
resolution step, and thus affect which methods get called from the
(potentially inlined) code.
Added tests checking that changes in type sig are recognized in SVH.

(Only after adding the tests did I realize that this is not really a
special case at the AST level; as far as the visitor is concerned,
`int` and `i32` and `i64` are just idents.)

Teach SVH computation to ignore more implementation artifacts.

In particular, this version of strict version hash (SVH) works much
like the deriving(Hash)-based implementation did, except that it
deliberately:

  1. skips over content known not affect the generated crates, and,

  2. uses a content-based hash for names instead of using the value of
     the `Name` index itself, which can differ depending on the order
     in which strings are interned (which in turn is affected by
     e.g. the presence of `--cfg` options on the command line).

=======

Optimize `Once::doit`: perform optimistic check that initializtion is
already completed.  `load` is much cheaper than `fetch_add` at least
on x86_64.

Verified with this test:

```
static mut o: one::Once = one::ONCE_INIT;
unsafe {
    loop {
        let start = time::precise_time_ns();
        let iters = 50000000u64;
        for _ in range(0, iters) {
            o.doit(|| { println!("once!"); });
        }
        let end = time::precise_time_ns();
        let ps_per_iter = 1000 * (end - start) / iters;
        println!("{} ps per iter", ps_per_iter);

        // confuse the optimizer
        o.doit(|| { println!("once!"); });
    }
}
```

Test executed on Mac, Intel Core i7 2GHz. Result is:
* 20ns per iteration without patch
*  4ns per iteration with this patch applied

Once.doit could be even faster (800ps per iteration), if `doit` function
was split into a pair of `doit`/`doit_slow`, and `doit` marked as
`#[inline]` like this:

```
#[inline(always)]
pub fn doit(&self, f: ||) {
    if self.cnt.load(atomics::SeqCst) < 0 {
        return
    }

    self.doit_slow(f);
}

fn doit_slow(&self, f: ||) { ... }
```
test: implement a no-alloc -> &str method for TestName.

This is far cheaper than the `.to_str` technique that was used previously.
test: allow the test filter to be a regex.

This is fully backwards compatible, since test names are Rust
identifiers + `:`, and hence not special regex characters.

Fixes #2866.
test: ensure that the extended usage description gets printed.

Previously the longer hand-written usage string was never being printed:
theoretically it was trying to detect when precisely `--help` was
passed (but not `-h`), but the getopts framework was considering a check
for the presence of `-h` to be a check for that of `--help` too,
i.e. the code was always going through the `-h` path.

This changes it to print the extended usage for both `-h` and `--help`,
meaning that it does actually appear correctly.
std:: switch the order in which dynamic_lib adds search paths.

The compiler needs to be opening e.g. libregex in the correct directory,
which requires getting these in the right order.
Add compiler flag to configure output coloring

This adds the flag --color, which allows the user to force coloring or
turn it off. The default behavior stays the same as before (colorize, if
output goes to tty).
Why this is beneficial is explained in issue #12881.

Please note that this commit doesn't include any regression tests. I
thought about how I'd write a test for this and it doesn't seem to be
worth the effort to me for a UI change like this.

Fixes #12881.

## Process API

The existing APIs for spawning processes took strings for the command
and arguments, but the underlying system may not impose utf8 encoding,
so this is overly limiting.

The assumption we actually want to make is just that the command and
arguments are viewable as [u8] slices with no interior NULLs, i.e., as
CStrings. The ToCStr trait is a handy bound for types that meet this
requirement (such as &str and Path).

However, since the commands and arguments are often a mixture of
strings and paths, it would be inconvenient to take a slice with a
single T: ToCStr bound. So this patch revamps the process creation API
to instead use a builder-style interface, called `Command`, allowing
arguments to be added one at a time with differing ToCStr
implementations for each.

The initial cut of the builder API has some drawbacks that can be
addressed once issue #13851 (libstd as a facade) is closed. These are
detailed as FIXMEs.

## Dynamic library API

`std::unstable::dynamic_library::open_external` currently takes a
`Path`, but because `Paths` produce normalized strings, this can
change the semantics of lookups in a given environment. This patch
generalizes the function to take a `ToCStr`-bounded type, which
includes both `Path`s and `str`s.

## ToCStr API

Adds ToCStr impl for &Path and ~str. This is a stopgap until DST (#12938) lands.

Until DST lands, we cannot decompose &str into & and str, so we cannot
usefully take ToCStr arguments by reference (without forcing an
additional & around &str). So we are instead temporarily adding an
instance for &Path and ~str, so that we can take ToCStr as owned. When
DST lands, the &Path instance should be removed, the string instances
should be revisted, and arguments bound by ToCStr should be passed by
reference.

FIXMEs have been added accordingly.

auto merge of #13948 : huonw/rust/test-regex-filter, r=alexcrichton

This allows writing a regex to filter tests more precisely, rather than having to list long paths e.g.

```
$ ./stdtest-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 'vec.*clone'

running 2 tests
test vec::tests::test_clone ... ok
test vec::tests::test_clone_from ... ok

test result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured
```

The regex change is fully backwards compatible, since test names are Rust
identifiers + `:`, and hence not special regex characters.

Two caveats:

1. As explained in the commit message, this doesn't include a regression test. If this is unacceptable, please let me know, I'll see what I can do.
1. I'm getting some test failures on make check, all from debuginfo. I suspect this is due to #13680 and  not related to my changes (I have GDB 7.7). This is the list of failed tests:

mk: Don't run benchmarks with `make check`

The current suite of benchmarks for the standard distribution take a significant
amount of time to run, but it's unclear whether we're gaining any benefit from
running them. Some specific pain points:

* No one is looking at the data generated by the benchmarks. We have no graphs
  or analysis of what's happening, so all the data is largely being cast into
  the void.

* No benchmark has ever uncovered a bug, they have always run successfully.

* Benchmarks not only take a significant amount of time to run, but also take a
  significant amount of time to compile. I don't think we should mitigate this
  for now because it's useful to ensure that they do indeed still compile.

This commit disables --bench test runs by default as part of `make check`,
flipping the NO_BENCH environment variable to a PLEASE_BENCH variable which will
manually enable benchmarking. If and when a dedicated bot is set up for
benchmarking, this flag can be enabled on that bot.
std: Modify TempDir to not fail on drop. Closes #12628

After discussion with Alex, we think the proper policy is for dtors
to not fail. This is consistent with C++. BufferedWriter already
does this, so this patch modifies TempDir to not fail in the dtor,
adding a `close` method for handling errors on destruction.

Make Vec.truncate() resilient against failure in Drop

to re-drop any elements it already dropped.
