This is a follow-up to [RFC PR #173](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/173). I was told there that changes like this don't need to go through the RFC process, so I'm submitting this directly.
This PR introduces `ToSocketAddr` trait as defined in said RFC. This trait defines a conversion from different types like `&str`, `(&str, u16)` or even `SocketAddr` to `SocketAddr`. Then this trait is used in all constructor methods for `TcpStream`, `TcpListener` and `UdpSocket`.
This unifies these constructor methods - previously they were using different types of input parameters (TCP ones used `(&str, u16)` pair while UDP ones used `SocketAddr`), which is not consistent by itself and sometimes inconvenient - for example, when the address initially is available as `SocketAddr`, you still need to convert it to string to pass it to e.g. `TcpStream`. This is very prominently demonstrated by the unit tests for TCP functionality. This PR makes working with network objects much like with `Path`, which also uses similar trait to be able to be constructed from `&[u8]`, `Vec<u8>` and other `Path`s.
This is a breaking change. If constant literals were used before, like this:
```rust
TcpStream::connect("localhost", 12345)
```
then the nicest fix is to change it to this:
```rust
TcpStream::connect("localhost:12345")
```
If variables were used before, like this:
```rust
TcpStream::connect(some_address, some_port)
```
then the arguments should be wrapped in another set of parentheses:
```rust
TcpStream::connect((some_address, some_port))
```
`UdpSocket` usages won't break because its constructor method accepted `SocketAddr` which implements `ToSocketAddr`, so `bind()` calls:
```rust
UdpSocket::bind(some_socket_addr)
```
will continue working as before.
I haven't changed `UdpStream` constructor because it is deprecated anyway.
This fixes some metadata/AST encoding problems that lead to ICEs. The way this is currently handled will need revisiting if abstract return types are added, as unboxed closure types from extern crates could show up without being inlined into the local crate.
Closes#16790 (I think this was fixed earlier by accident and just needed a test case)

r? @pcwalton
This commit adds ToSocketAddr trait to std::io::net::ip module. This
trait is used for generic conversion from different types (strings,
(string, u16) tuples, etc.) into a SocketAddr instance. It supports
multiple output SocketAddresses when it is appropriate (e.g. DNS name
resolution).
This trait is going to be used by TcpStream, TcpListener and UdpSocket
structures.
If a dylib is being produced, the compiler will now first check to see if it can
be created entirely statically before falling back to dynamic dependencies. This
behavior can be overridden with `-C prefer-dynamic`.
Due to the alteration in behavior, this is a breaking change. Any previous users
relying on dylibs implicitly maximizing dynamic dependencies should start
passing `-C prefer-dynamic` to compilations.
Closes#18499

Use `\u0080`-`\u00ff` instead. ASCII/byte literals are unaffected.
This PR introduces a new function, `escape_default`, into the ASCII
module. This was necessary for the pretty printer to continue to
function.

This removes some leftover line-numbering cruft from elided error examples and brings some minor clarifications.
I’m not super happy about the ‘we cannot have two mutable pointers that point to the same memory’ wording (to the best of my understanding we can’t even have one mutable and one immutable), but other attempts to word this were derailing the flow a bit too much.
Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.
iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare minimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.
The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.
A complete list of the targets we accept now:
arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
i686-apple-darwin
i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-unknown-freebsd

At the moment this mostly only changes notes that are particularly help-oriented or directly suggest the user to do something to help messages, and does not change messages that simply explain an error message further. If it is decided that those messages should also be help messages, I can add them to this PR, but for now I’m excluding them as I believe that changing those messages might leave very few places where notes would be appropriate.
