bootstrap: improve 'build --help' by explaining what exactly the last example does
I recently found myself confused about what exactly gets built how often when I run which command; I think this would have helped me.
One thing I did not touch, but I feel could also be improved, is the wording just above: "For a quick build with a usable compile, you can pass". I am not a native speaker, but this sounds odd to me. Do you mean "For a quick build of a usable compiler" (but then it should say where the usable compiler is produced)? Or do you mean "For a quick build testing if the compiler is usable"? I can reword this, but I'd like to make sure I understand the intent of the message.
What about
```
For a quick build of a usable compiler, you can pass:
./x.py build --stage 1 src/libtest
This will first build everything once (like --stage 0 without further
arguments would), and then use the compiler built in stage 0 to build
src/libtest and its dependencies.
Once this is done, build/$ARCH/stage1 contains a usable compiler.
```
However, I am not sure this is actually true. In particular, why even bother building the libstd in stage 1? AFAIK that ends up in `build/*/stage1-std`, not in `build/*/stage1` (which is filled from `build/*/stage0-*`).
std: Avoid panics in rust_eh_personality
This commit removes a few calls to panic and/or assert in `rust_eh_personality`.
This function definitely can't itself panic (that'd probably segfault or do
something else weird) and I was also noticing that a `pub extern fn foo() {}`
cdylib was abnormally large. Turns out all that size was the panicking machinery
brought in by the personality function!
The change here is to return a `Result` internally so we can bubble up the fatal
error, eventually translating to the appropriate error code for the libunwind
ABI.

Change `llvm.neon.*` to `llvm.arm.neon.*` in the mapping for platform intrinsics
This avoids linker errors when using platform intrinsics on 32-bit ARM with
NEON.
Fixesrust-lang-nursery/simd#10.
I don't have an explanation why the old code might have worked when the `simd` crate was written, since the new LLVM intrinsic naming seems to have existed as early as 2012. Maybe LLVM accepted two naming schemes for a few years and dropped the `llvm.neon.*` version recently? I don't know.
Also, I don't know how to write a unit test for this.
Better closure error message
Use tracked data introduced in #42196 to provide a better closure
error message by showing why a closure implements `FnOnce`.
```
error[E0525]: expected a closure that implements the `Fn` trait, but
this closure only implements `FnOnce`
--> $DIR/issue_26046.rs:4:19
|
4 | let closure = move || {
| ___________________^
5 | | vec
6 | | };
| |_____^
|
note: closure is `FnOnce` because it moves the variable `vec` out of
its environment
--> $DIR/issue_26046.rs:5:9

5 | vec
| ^^^
error: aborting due to previous error(s)
```
Fixes#26046

Fix setting PATH during linkage on windows-gnu
This makes the behavior almost exactly the same as before the VS2017 patch, except that on MSVC builds the host bin path is no longer added to PATH. I am not sure that's actually necessary on any platform.

Changing error message from `contains interior mutability` to `may contain interior mutability`
Fixes#40313 . I have changed the message from `contains interior mutability` to `may contain interior mutability` for the following example
```
use std::cell::Cell;
use std::panic::catch_unwind;
fn main() {
let mut x = Cell::new(22);
catch_unwind(|| { x.set(23); });
}
```
which has been added as a ui test.
Also, the message [here](https://github.com/gaurikholkar/rust/blob/master/src/librustc_mir/transform/qualify_consts.rs#L666) and it's respective `compile-fail` test have been modified.

The Rustdoc book
A work-in-progress start for docs for rustdoc.
This doesn't actually generate the docs yet; I wanted to open this PR to get feedback on this approach, the chapters headings themselves, and to see if anyone wanted to help fill in the ones that aren't done yet.
Start of #42322.

rustc: T: 'empty always holds for all types.
Fixes#42467 by special-casing `ReEmpty` to always hold, even for parameters.
The reason this is the case is that `ReEmpty` is the result of inferring a region variable with no constraints attached to it, so there is no lifetime a type would contain which would be strictly shorter.

rustc_typeck: do not overlap a borrow of TypeckTables with method lookup.
If trait selection is reached, it could potentially request a closure signature, which will have to borrow the `TypeckTables` of the current function, and so those tables *should not* be mutably borrowed.
Fixes#42463.

Add conversions from File and Child* handles to Stdio
`Stdio` now implements `From<ChildStdin>`, `From<ChildStdout>`,
`From<ChildStderr>`, and `From<File>`.
The `Command::stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` methods now take any type that
implements `Into<Stdio>`.
This makes it much easier to write shell-like command chains, piping to
one another and redirecting to and from files. Otherwise one would need
to use the unsafe and OS-specific `from_raw_fd` or `from_raw_handle`.

add playbot jokes to run-pass test
Some funny expressions that people pull out on IRC, that might actually be useful to test pathological parser behavior.
Skip documentation files without ``` when running markdown tests.
This should reduce the 'running 0 tests' noise in builds, and I believe this is a good heuristic for us to use.
cc @rust-lang/docs -- do we use the indented format for code blocks anywhere? Will we? If so, we shouldn't do this.

Always quote program name in Command::spawn on Windows
[`CreateProcess`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425.aspx) will interpret args as part of the binary name if it
doesn't find the binary using just the unquoted name. For example if
`foo.exe` doesn't exist, `Command::new("foo").arg("bar").spawn()` will
try to launch `foo bar.exe` which is clearly not desired.
