The proper usage of shared types is now sharing through `&self` rather than
`&mut self` because the mutable version will provide stronger guarantees (no
aliasing on *any* thread).
This will make the types more readable in the documentation, since the letters correspond with what you should either be sending or expecting to receive.
`Vec` is now used for the internal buffer instead of `~[]`. Some module
level documentation somehow ended up attached to `BufferedReader` so I
fixed that as well.
This needs to be removed as part of removing `~[T]`. Partial type hints
are now allowed, and will remove the need to add a version of this
method for `Vec<T>`. For now, this involves a few workarounds for
partial type hints not completely working.

This commit removes the `get()` method from `Ref` and `RefMut` in favor of the `*` operator, and removes all usage of the `deref()` function manually from rustc, favoring using `*` instead.
Some of the code is a little wacky, but that's due to either #13044 or #13042
`FormatMessageW()` is called by `std::os::last_os_error()` to convert
errno into string, but the function may fail on non-english locale.
I don't know why it fails, but anyway it's better to return errno
than to `fail!()` in the case.

This is a very minor edit to the tutorial section on references.
Reading this section for the first time, I stumbled on the phrase "a reference can be borrowed to any object." Its meaning was clear enough once I got it, but I had to re-read it a couple of times to parse it correctly. Something about the passive voice plus the way "reference to any object" is split up by the verb phrase. How about this instead?
These are superfluous now that we have fixed rvalue lifetimes and Deref.
I'd also like to kill off `get` and `set`, but that'll be a large change so I want to make sure that we actually want to do that first.
These methods can be mistaken for general "read some bytes" utilities when
they're actually only meant for reading an exact number of bytes. By renaming
them it's much clearer about what they're doing without having to read the
documentation.
Closes#12892
