Auto merge of #23292 - alexcrichton:stabilize-io, r=aturon
The new `std::io` module has had some time to bake now, and this commit
stabilizes its functionality. There are still portions of the module which
remain unstable, and below contains a summart of the actions taken.

This commit also deprecates the entire contents of the `old_io` module in a
blanket fashion. All APIs should now have a reasonable replacement in the
new I/O modules.

Stable APIs:

* `std::io` (the name)
* `std::io::prelude` (the name)
* `Read`
* `Read::read`
* `Read::{read_to_end, read_to_string}` after being modified to return a `usize`
  for the number of bytes read.
* `ReadExt`
* `Write`
* `Write::write`
* `Write::{write_all, write_fmt}`
* `WriteExt`
* `BufRead`
* `BufRead::{fill_buf, consume}`
* `BufRead::{read_line, read_until}` after being modified to return a `usize`
  for the number of bytes read.
* `BufReadExt`
* `BufReader`
* `BufReader::{new, with_capacity}`
* `BufReader::{get_ref, get_mut, into_inner}`
* `{Read,BufRead} for BufReader`
* `BufWriter`
* `BufWriter::{new, with_capacity}`
* `BufWriter::{get_ref, get_mut, into_inner}`
* `Write for BufWriter`
* `IntoInnerError`
* `IntoInnerError::{error, into_inner}`
* `{Error,Display} for IntoInnerError`
* `LineWriter`
* `LineWriter::{new, with_capacity}` - `with_capacity` was added
* `LineWriter::{get_ref, get_mut, into_inner}` - `get_mut` was added)
* `Write for LineWriter`
* `BufStream`
* `BufStream::{new, with_capacities}`
* `BufStream::{get_ref, get_mut, into_inner}`
* `{BufRead,Read,Write} for BufStream`
* `stdin`
* `Stdin`
* `Stdin::lock`
* `Stdin::read_line` - added method
* `StdinLock`
* `Read for Stdin`
* `{Read,BufRead} for StdinLock`
* `stdout`
* `Stdout`
* `Stdout::lock`
* `StdoutLock`
* `Write for Stdout`
* `Write for StdoutLock`
* `stderr`
* `Stderr`
* `Stderr::lock`
* `StderrLock`
* `Write for Stderr`
* `Write for StderrLock`
* `io::Result`
* `io::Error`
* `io::Error::last_os_error`
* `{Display, Error} for Error`

Unstable APIs:

(reasons can be found in the commit itself)

* `Write::flush`
* `Seek`
* `ErrorKind`
* `Error::new`
* `Error::from_os_error`
* `Error::kind`

Deprecated APIs

* `Error::description` - available via the `Error` trait
* `Error::detail` - available via the `Display` implementation
* `thread::Builder::{stdout, stderr}`

Changes in functionality:

* `old_io::stdio::set_stderr` is now a noop as the infrastructure for printing
  backtraces has migrated to `std::io`.
