While waiting on some builds I started cleaning up the various python bits and pieces.
I'm going to keep poking, want to ping me before the next rollup?
Hi! I added some examples to some SliceExt methods that didn't have any.
I'm looking forward to feedback and I'm happy to change anything-- it looks like the doc conventions are still a bit in flux, based on the discussions going on in [rfc 505](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/505).
I was most unsure about examples for methods that return iterators over slices... I wanted to use asserts on the result of calling `.next()` like in [this permutations example](804c1446b3/src/libcollections/slice.rs (L608-L617)), but then it gets all cluttered up with lifetime stuff... so I went with iterating and printing and mentioning what the expected printed output is like in [this chunks example](804c1446b3/src/libcollections/slice.rs (L297-L304))... any ideas for the best ways to do this are appreciated.
Thank you! ❤️

This PR removes the `min-width` rule from `body` so that no horizontal scrolling is necessary on mobile, and also hides out-of-band information on mobile to create more room for the in-band information.
Spellfix for `Debug` trait documentation. Change "most all types should implement this" to "all types should implement this". Same fix for deprecated `Show` trait.
Add `CodeExtent::Remainder` variant; pre-req for new scoping/drop rules.
This new enum variant introduces finer-grain code extents, i.e. we now track that a binding lives only for a suffix of a block, and (importantly) will be dropped when it goes out of scope *before* the bindings that occurred earlier in the block.
Both of these notions are neatly captured by marking the block (and each suffix) as an enclosing scope of the next suffix beneath it.
This is work that is part of the foundation for issue #8861.
(It actually has been seen in earlier posted pull requests, in particular #21022; I have just factored it out into its own PR to ease my own near-future rebasing, and also get people used to the new rules.)
----
These finer grained scopes do mean that some code is newly rejected by `rustc`; for example:
```rust
let mut map : HashMap<u8, &u8> = HashMap::new();
let tmp = Box::new(2);
map.insert(43, &*tmp);
```
This will now fail to compile with a message that `*tmp` does not live long enough, because the scope of `tmp` is now strictly smaller than
that of `map`, and the use of `&u8` in map's type requires that the borrowed references are all to data that live at least as long as the map.
The usual fix for a case like this is to move the binding for `tmp` up above that of `map`; note that you can still leave the initialization in the original spot, like so:
```rust
let tmp;
let mut map : HashMap<u8, &u8> = HashMap::new();
tmp = box 2;
map.insert(43, &*tmp);
```
Similarly, one can encounter an analogous situation with `Vec`: one would need to rewrite:
```rust
let mut vec = Vec::new();
let tmp = 'c';
vec.push(&tmp);
```
as:
```rust
let tmp;
let mut vec = Vec::new();
tmp = 'c';
vec.push(&tmp);
```

In some corner cases, it does not suffice to reorder the bindings; in particular, when the types for both bindings need to reflect exactly the *same* code extent, and a parent/child relationship between them does not work.
In pnkfelix's experience this has arisen most often when mixing uses of cyclic data structures while also allowing a lifetime parameter `'a` to flow into a type parameter context where the type is *invariant* with respect to the type parameter. An important instance of this is `arena::TypedArena<T>`, which is invariant with respect to `T`.
(The reason that variance is relevant is this: *if* `TypedArena` were covariant with respect to its type parameter, then we could assign it
the longer lifetime when it is initialized, and then convert it to a subtype (via covariance) with a shorter lifetime when necessary. But `TypedArena` is invariant with respect to its type parameter, and thus if `S` is a subtype of `T` (in particular, if `S` has a lifetime parameter that is shorter than that of `T`), then a `TypedArena<S>` is unrelated to `TypedArena<T>`.)
Concretely, consider code like this:
```rust
struct Node<'a> { sibling: Option<&'a Node<'a>> }
struct Context<'a> {
// because of this field, `Context<'a>` is invariant with respect to `'a`.
arena: &'a TypedArena<Node<'a>>,
...
}
fn new_ctxt<'a>(arena: &'a TypedArena<Node<'a>>) -> Context<'a> { ... }
fn use_ctxt<'a>(fcx: &'a Context<'a>) { ... }
let arena = TypedArena::new();
let ctxt = new_ctxt(&arena);
use_ctxt(&ctxt);
```
In these situations, if you try to introduce two bindings via two distinct `let` statements, each is (with this commit) assigned a distinct extent, and the region inference system cannot find a single region to assign to the lifetime `'a` that works for both of the bindings. So you get an error that `ctxt` does not live long enough; but moving its binding up above that of `arena` just shifts the error so now the compiler complains that `arena` does not live long enough.
* SO: What to do? The easiest fix in this case is to ensure that the two bindings *do* get assigned the same static extent, by stuffing both
bindings into the same let statement, like so:
```rust
let (arena, ctxt): (TypedArena, Context);
arena = TypedArena::new();
ctxt = new_ctxt(&arena);
use_ctxt(&ctxt);
```

Using `generic` as the target cpu limits the generated code to the bare basics for the arch, while we can probably assume that we'll actually be running on somewhat modern hardware. This updates the default target CPUs for the x86 and x86_64 archs to match clang's behaviour.

In preparation for the I/O rejuvination of the standard library, this commit
renames the current `io` module to `old_io` in order to make room for the new
I/O modules. It is expected that the I/O RFCs will land incrementally over time
instead of all at once, and this provides a fresh clean path for new modules to
enter into as well as guaranteeing that all old infrastructure will remain in
place for some time.
As each `old_io` module is replaced it will be deprecated in-place for new
structures in `std::{io, fs, net}` (as appropriate).
This commit does *not* leave a reexport of `old_io as io` as the deprecation
lint does not currently warn on this form of use. This is quite a large breaking
change for all imports in existing code, but all functionality is retained
precisely as-is and path statements simply need to be renamed from `io` to
`old_io`.

In preparation for upcoming changes to the `Writer` trait (soon to be called
`Write`) this commit renames the current `write` method to `write_all` to match
the semantics of the upcoming `write_all` method. The `write` method will be
repurposed to return a `usize` indicating how much data was written which
differs from the current `write` semantics. In order to head off as much
unintended breakage as possible, the method is being deprecated now in favor of
a new name.
