Implement [RFC #1048][rfc].
On Windows, when you create a symbolic link you must specify whether it
points to a directory or a file, even if it is created dangling, while
on Unix, the same symbolic link could point to a directory, a file, or
nothing at all. Furthermore, on Windows special privilege is necessary
to use a symbolic link, while on Unix, you can generally create a
symbolic link in any directory you have write privileges to.
This means that it is unlikely to be able to use symbolic links purely
portably; anyone who uses them will need to think about the cross
platform implications. This means that using platform-specific APIs
will make it easier to see where code will need to differ between the
platforms, rather than trying to provide some kind of compatibility
wrapper.
Furthermore, `soft_link` has no precedence in any other API, so to avoid
confusion, move back to the more standard `symlink` terminology.
Create a `std::os::unix::symlink` for the Unix version that is
destination type agnostic, as well as `std::os::windows::{symlink_file,
symlink_dir}` for Windows.
Because this is a stable API, leave a compatibility wrapper in
`std::fs::soft_link`, which calls `symlink` on Unix and `symlink_file`
on Windows, preserving the existing behavior of `soft_link`.

This patch adds a `Debug` impl for `std::fs::File`.
On all platforms (Unix and Windows) it shows the file descriptor.
On Linux, it displays the path and access mode as well.
Ideally we should show the path/mode for all platforms, not just Linux,
but this will do for now.

The current implementation of using GetFinalPathNameByHandle actually reads all
intermediate links instead of just looking at the current link. This commit
alters the behavior of the function to use a different API which correctly reads
only one level of the soft link.

This commit stabilizes the platform-specific `io` modules, specifically around
the traits having to do with the raw representation of each object on each
platform.
Specifically, the following material was stabilized:
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* `RawFd` (renamed from `Fd`)
* `RawHandle` (renamed from `Handle`)
* `RawSocket` (renamed from `Socket`)
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}` implementations
* `std::os::{unix, windows}::io`
The following material was added as `#[unstable]`:
* `FromRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* Implementations for various primitives
There are a number of future improvements that are possible to make to this
module, but this should cover a good bit of functionality desired from these
modules for now. Some specific future additions may include:
* `IntoRawXXX` traits to consume the raw representation and cancel the
auto-destructor.
* `Fd`, `Socket`, and `Handle` abstractions that behave like Rust objects and
have nice methods for various syscalls.
At this time though, these are considered backwards-compatible extensions and
will not be stabilized at this time.
This commit is a breaking change due to the addition of `Raw` in from of the
type aliases in each of the platform-specific modules.

The windows/unix modules were currently inconsistent about the traits being
implemented for `DirEntry` and there isn't much particular reason why the traits
*couldn't* be implemented for `ReadDir` and `DirEntry`, so this commit ensures
that they are implemented.
Closes #22577

Per [RFC 579](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/579), this commit
adds a new `std::process` module. This module is largely based on the
existing `std::old_io::process` module, but refactors the API to use
`OsStr` and other new standards set out by IO reform.
The existing module is not yet deprecated, to allow for the new API to
get a bit of testing before a mass migration to it.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 739][rfc] which adds a new `std::fs`
module to the standard library. This module provides much of the same
functionality as `std::old_io::fs` but it has many tweaked APIs as well as uses
the new `std::path` module.
