This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1513] which allows applications to
alter the behavior of panics at compile time. A new compiler flag, `-C panic`,
is added and accepts the values `unwind` or `panic`, with the default being
`unwind`. This model affects how code is generated for the local crate, skipping
generation of landing pads with `-C panic=abort`.
[RFC 1513]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md
Panic implementations are then provided by crates tagged with
`#![panic_runtime]` and lazily required by crates with
`#![needs_panic_runtime]`. The panic strategy (`-C panic` value) of the panic
runtime must match the final product, and if the panic strategy is not `abort`
then the entire DAG must have the same panic strategy.
With the `-C panic=abort` strategy, users can expect a stable method to disable
generation of landing pads, improving optimization in niche scenarios,
decreasing compile time, and decreasing output binary size. With the `-C
panic=unwind` strategy users can expect the existing ability to isolate failure
in Rust code from the outside world.
Organizationally, this commit dismantles the `sys_common::unwind` module in
favor of some bits moving part of it to `libpanic_unwind` and the rest into the
`panicking` module in libstd. The custom panic runtime support is pretty similar
to the custom allocator support with the only major difference being how the
panic runtime is injected (takes the `-C panic` flag into account).

This commit transitions the compiler to using the new exception handling
instructions in LLVM for implementing unwinding for MSVC. This affects both 32
and 64-bit MSVC as they're both now using SEH-based strategies. In terms of
standard library support, lots more details about how SEH unwinding is
implemented can be found in the commits.
In terms of trans, this change necessitated a few modifications:
* Branches were added to detect when the old landingpad instruction is used or
the new cleanuppad instruction is used to `trans::cleanup`.
* The return value from `cleanuppad` is not stored in an `alloca` (because it
cannot be).
* Each block in trans now has an `Option<LandingPad>` instead of `is_lpad: bool`
for indicating whether it's in a landing pad or not. The new exception
handling intrinsics require that on MSVC each `call` inside of a landing pad
is annotated with which landing pad that it's in. This change to the basic
block means that whenever a `call` or `invoke` instruction is generated we
know whether to annotate it as part of a cleanuppad or not.
* Lots of modifications were made to the instruction builders to construct the
new instructions as well as pass the tagging information for the call/invoke
instructions.
* The translation of the `try` intrinsics for MSVC has been overhauled to use
the new `catchpad` instruction. The filter function is now also a
rustc-generated function instead of a purely libstd-defined function. The
libstd definition still exists, it just has a stable ABI across architectures
and leaves some of the really weird implementation details to the compiler
(e.g. the `localescape` and `localrecover` intrinsics).

* Delete `sys::unix::{c, sync}` as these are now all folded into libc itself
* Update all references to use `libc` as a result.
* Update all references to the new flat namespace.
* Moves all windows bindings into sys::c

Unwinding across an FFI boundary is undefined behaviour, so we can mark
all external function as nounwind. The obvious exception are those
functions that actually perform the unwinding.

This commit does some refactoring to make almost all of the `std::rt` private.
Specifically, the following items are no longer part of its API:
* DEFAULT_ERROR_CODE
* backtrace
* unwind
* args
* at_exit
* cleanup
* heap (this is just alloc::heap)
* min_stack
* util
The module is now tagged as `#[doc(hidden)]` as the only purpose it's serve is
an entry point for the `panic!` macro via the `begin_unwind` and
`begin_unwind_fmt` reexports.
