auto merge of #13954 : aturon/rust/issue-11650, r=alexcrichton
## Process API The existing APIs for spawning processes took strings for the command and arguments, but the underlying system may not impose utf8 encoding, so this is overly limiting. The assumption we actually want to make is just that the command and arguments are viewable as [u8] slices with no interior NULLs, i.e., as CStrings. The ToCStr trait is a handy bound for types that meet this requirement (such as &str and Path). However, since the commands and arguments are often a mixture of strings and paths, it would be inconvenient to take a slice with a single T: ToCStr bound. So this patch revamps the process creation API to instead use a builder-style interface, called `Command`, allowing arguments to be added one at a time with differing ToCStr implementations for each. The initial cut of the builder API has some drawbacks that can be addressed once issue #13851 (libstd as a facade) is closed. These are detailed as FIXMEs. ## Dynamic library API `std::unstable::dynamic_library::open_external` currently takes a `Path`, but because `Paths` produce normalized strings, this can change the semantics of lookups in a given environment. This patch generalizes the function to take a `ToCStr`-bounded type, which includes both `Path`s and `str`s. ## ToCStr API Adds ToCStr impl for &Path and ~str. This is a stopgap until DST (#12938) lands. Until DST lands, we cannot decompose &str into & and str, so we cannot usefully take ToCStr arguments by reference (without forcing an additional & around &str). So we are instead temporarily adding an instance for &Path and ~str, so that we can take ToCStr as owned. When DST lands, the &Path instance should be removed, the string instances should be revisted, and arguments bound by ToCStr should be passed by reference. FIXMEs have been added accordingly. ## Tickets closed Closes #11650. Closes #7928.
