The `std::net` primitives should be ready for use now and as a result the old
ones are now deprecated and slated for removal. Most TCP/UDP functionality is
now available through `std::net` but the `std::old_io::net::pipe` module is
removed entirely from the standard library.
Unix socket funtionality can be found in sfackler's [`unix_socket`][unix] crate
and there is currently no replacement for named pipes on Windows.

This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 592][r592] and [RFC 840][r840]. These
two RFCs tweak the behavior of `CString` and add a new `CStr` unsized slice type
to the module.
[r592]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0592-c-str-deref.md
[r840]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0840-no-panic-in-c-string.md
The new `CStr` type is only constructable via two methods:
1. By `deref`'ing from a `CString`
2. Unsafely via `CStr::from_ptr`
The purpose of `CStr` is to be an unsized type which is a thin pointer to a
`libc::c_char` (currently it is a fat pointer slice due to implementation
limitations). Strings from C can be safely represented with a `CStr` and an
appropriate lifetime as well. Consumers of `&CString` should now consume `&CStr`
instead to allow producers to pass in C-originating strings instead of just
Rust-allocated strings.
A new constructor was added to `CString`, `new`, which takes `T: IntoBytes`
instead of separate `from_slice` and `from_vec` methods (both have been
deprecated in favor of `new`). The `new` method returns a `Result` instead of
panicking. The error variant contains the relevant information about where the
error happened and bytes (if present). Conversions are provided to the
`io::Error` and `old_io::IoError` types via the `FromError` trait which
translate to `InvalidInput`.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of existing `#[unstable]` APIs
and new deprecation, and more detailed information can be found in the two RFCs.
Notable breakage includes:
* All construction of `CString` now needs to use `new` and handle the outgoing
`Result`.
* Usage of `CString` as a byte slice now explicitly needs a `.as_bytes()` call.
* The `as_slice*` methods have been removed in favor of just having the
`as_bytes*` methods.

Per [RFC 579](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/579), this commit
adds a new `std::process` module. This module is largely based on the
existing `std::old_io::process` module, but refactors the API to use
`OsStr` and other new standards set out by IO reform.
The existing module is not yet deprecated, to allow for the new API to
get a bit of testing before a mass migration to it.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 807][rfc] which adds a `std::net`
module for basic neworking based on top of `std::io`. This module serves as a
replacement for the `std::old_io::net` module and networking primitives in
`old_io`.
[rfc]: fillmein
The major focus of this redesign is to cut back on the level of abstraction to
the point that each of the networking types is just a bare socket. To this end
functionality such as timeouts and cloning has been removed (although cloning
can be done through `duplicate`, it may just yield an error).
With this `net` module comes a new implementation of `SocketAddr` and `IpAddr`.
This work is entirely based on #20785 and the only changes were to alter the
in-memory representation to match the `libc`-expected variants and to move from
public fields to accessors.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 739][rfc] which adds a new `std::fs`
module to the standard library. This module provides much of the same
functionality as `std::old_io::fs` but it has many tweaked APIs as well as uses
the new `std::path` module.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/739
Per [RFC 517](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/575/), this commit
introduces platform-native strings. The API is essentially as described
in the RFC.
The WTF-8 implementation is adapted from @SimonSapin's
[implementation](https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-wtf8). To make this
work, some encodign and decoding functionality in `libcore` is now
exported in a "raw" fashion reusable for WTF-8. These exports are *not*
reexported in `std`, nor are they stable.
This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
