rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information for contributors, we may as well
remove it from crates in this repo.

Remove unused feature gates
The first commit removes a usage of a feature gate, but I don't expect it to be controversial as the feature gate was only used to workaround a limitation of rust in the past. (closures never being `Clone`)
The second commit uses `#[allow_internal_unstable]` to avoid leaking the `trusted_step` feature gate usage from inside the index newtype macro. It didn't work for the `min_specialization` feature gate though.
The third commit removes (almost) all feature gates from the compiler that weren't used anyway.
Make `Step` trait safe to implement
This PR makes a few modifications to the `Step` trait that I believe better position it for stabilization in the short term. In particular,
1. `unsafe trait TrustedStep` is introduced, indicating that the implementation of `Step` for a given type upholds all stated invariants (which have remained unchanged). This is gated behind a new `trusted_step` feature, as stabilization is realistically blocked on min_specialization.
2. The `Step` trait is internally specialized on the `TrustedStep` trait, which avoids a serious performance regression.
3. `TrustedLen` is implemented for `T: TrustedStep` as the latter's invariants subsume the former's.
4. The `Step` trait is no longer `unsafe`, as the invariants must not be relied upon by unsafe code (unless the type implements `TrustedStep`).
5. `TrustedStep` is implemented for all types that implement `Step` in the standard library and compiler.
6. The `step_trait_ext` feature is merged into the `step_trait` feature. I was unable to find any reasoning for the features being split; the `_unchecked` methods need not necessarily be stabilized at the same time, but I think it is useful to have them under the same feature flag.
All existing implementations of `Step` will be broken, as it is not possible to `unsafe impl` a safe trait. Given this trait only exists on nightly, I feel this breakage is acceptable. The blanket `impl<T: Step> TrustedLen for T` will likely cause some minor breakage, but this should be covered by the equivalent impl for `TrustedStep`.
Hopefully these changes are sufficient to place `Step` in decent position for stabilization, which would allow user-defined types to be used with `a..b` syntax.
This means that we're no longer generating the iteration/locking code for each
invocation site of iter_results, rather just once per query.
This is a 15% win in instruction counts when compiling the rustc_query_impl crate.

Dubious changes:
- Is anyone else using rustc_apfloat? I feel weird completely deleting
x87 support.
- Maybe some of the dead code in rustc_data_structures, in case someone
wants to use it in the future?
- Don't change rustc_serialize
I plan to scrap most of the json module in the near future (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/418) and fixing the
tests needed more work than I expected.
TODO: check if any of the comments on the deleted code should be kept.
Update to rustc-rayon 0.3.1
This pulls in rust-lang/rustc-rayon#8 to fix#81425. (h/t `@ammaraskar)`
That revealed weak constraints on `rustc_arena::DropArena`, because its
`DropType` was holding type-erased raw pointers to generic `T`. We can
implement `Send` for `DropType` (under `cfg(parallel_compiler)`) by
requiring all `T: Send` before they're type-erased.
Issue #82920 showed that the kind of bugs caught by this flag have
soundness implications.
This causes performance regressions of up to 15.2% during incremental
compilation, but this is necessary to catch miscompilations caused by
bugs in query implementations.
