As described https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn774154.aspx
This is a Windows 8+ mechanism for terminating the process quickly,
which degrades to either an access violation or bugcheck in older versions.
I'm not sure this is better the the current mechanism of terminating
with an illegal instruction, but we recently converted unix to
terminate more correctly with SIGABORT, and this *seems* more correct
for windows.

intrinsics::abort compiles down to an illegal instruction, which on
Unix-like platforms causes the process to be killed with SIGILL. A more
appropriate way to kill the process would be SIGABRT; this indicates
better that the runtime has explicitly aborted, rather than some kind of
compiler bug or architecture mismatch that SIGILL might indicate.
For rtassert!, replace this with libc::abort. libc::abort raises
SIGABRT, but is defined to do so in such a way that it will terminate
the process even if SIGABRT is currently masked or caught by a signal
handler that returns.
On non-Unix platforms, retain the existing behavior. On Windows we
prefer to avoid depending on the C runtime, and we need a fallback for
any other platforms that may be defined. An alternative on Windows
would be to call TerminateProcess, but this seems less essential than
switching to using SIGABRT on Unix-like platforms, where it is common
for the process-killing signal to be printed out or logged.
This is a [breaking-change] for any code that depends on the exact
signal raised to abort a process via rtabort!

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.
