New Guide: crates and modules
Stability lint checker now handles nested macros.

Closes #17185.
auto merge of #17555 : steveklabnik/rust/module_guide, r=alexcrichton

This is an almost-done draft of a guide on crates and modules. This is a hard guide to get right, I had to remove a chunk of the Guide because it was confusing.

I've also pushed up https://github.com/steveklabnik/phrases which has matching code. Whenever we finish this guide, I think it'd be good to have a sample crate like this in the rust-lang org for people to compare against. The hardest part of a guide like this is that it depends on multiple files being correct, and being able to point to a repository would be very helpful.

Things yet to do:

1. external crates via cargo
2. documentation

I'm super open to still revising this if it's still confusing. There's been a lot of Reddit discussion about the module system, and I tried to incorporate those posts and the comments into this.

auto merge of #18194 : jmesmon/rust/libbacktrace-env, r=alexcrichton

This was run into while attempting to integrate rust with bitbake's build system. I expect it's caused by some other environment variables being set to gcc but didn't track down the exact cause myself.
auto merge of #17508 : vberger/rust/stability_lint_for_nested_macros, r=pnkfelix

Finishes the job of #17286.

Now the stability lint will successfully detect patterns such as:
```
first_macro!(second_macro!(deprecated_function()));
```
```
macro_rules! foo (
    ($e: expr) => (bar!($e))
)
foo!(deprected_function());
```
and
```
println!("{}", deprecated_function());
```
even with more levels of nesting, such as
```
println!("{}", foo!(bar!(deprecated_function())));
```

:whale:
Prune unused parameters.
Implement "method matching". Similar to trait matching, but with the twist that we
have to take the transformed self type into account, and allow for coercion between
the receiver and the actual type declared on the impl.
Permit DST types to unify like other types.

Also:
1. stop eagerly coercing from `[T, ..n]` to `[T]` only do so if requested.
2. permit error to be interact more freely.

Fixes #17178.
Generalize the replace-late-bound-regions function to operate
over anything that is foldable, not just fn signatures.
rustdoc: hide private traits in strip-private pass

Fix #16563
Change method lookup infrastructure to use the trait methods. Instead
of tracking individual candidates per impl, we just track one
candidate for the extension trait itself, and let the trait resolution
handle walking the individual impls and so forth. Also change the
interface to report back a richer notion of error.
Correct case where the old version of method lookup was incorrectly matching,
as far as I can tell.
The new method lookup mechanism typechecks calls against the method type declared in the trait, not in the impl. In some cases that results in tighter rules, and in some cases looser. Correct for that.
