This follows the completed graduation of stable contrib features into
core, removing 'rocket_contrib' in its entirety in favor of two new
crates. These crates are versioned independently of Rocket's core
libraries, allowing upgrades to dependencies without consideration for
versions in core libraries.
'rocket_dyn_templates' replaces the contrib 'templates' features. While
largely a 1-to-1 copy, it makes the following changes:
* the 'tera_templates' feature is now 'tera'
* the 'handlebars_templates' feature is now 'handlebars'
* fails to compile if neither 'tera' nor 'handlebars' is enabled
'rocket_sync_db_pools' replaces the contrib 'database' features. It
makes no changes to the replaced features except that the `database`
attribute is properly documented at the crate root.
This has the following nice benefits:
* The 'JsonValue' wrapper type is gone.
* 'Local{Request, Response}' natively support JSON/MessagePack.
* The 'json' and 'msgpack' limits are officially recognized.
* Soon, Rocket application will not require an explicit 'serde' dep.
This marks the beginning of the end of 'rocket_contrib'.
Launch fairings are now fallible and take the place of attach fairings,
but they are only run, as the name implies, at launch time.
This is is a fundamental shift from eager execution of set-up routines,
including the now defunct attach fairings, to lazy execution,
precipitated by the transition to `async`. The previous functionality,
while simple, caused grave issues:
1. A instance of 'Rocket' with async attach fairings requires an async
runtime to be constructed.
2. The instance is accessible in non-async contexts.
3. The async attach fairings have no runtime in which to be run.
Here's an example:
```rust
let rocket = rocket::ignite()
.attach(AttachFairing::from(|rocket| async {
Ok(rocket.manage(load_from_network::<T>().await))
}));
let state = rocket.state::<T>();
```
This had no real meaning previously yet was accepted by running the
attach fairing future in an isolated runtime. In isolation, this causes
no issue, but when attach fairing futures share reactor state with other
futures in Rocket, panics ensue.
The new Rocket application lifecycle is this:
* Build - A Rocket instance is constructed. No fairings are run.
* Ignition - All launch fairings are run.
* Liftoff - If all launch fairings succeeded, the server is started.
New 'liftoff' fairings are run in this third phase.
This allows us to test all of the "core" crates (and the guide) by
testing the root workspace, and all of the examples by testing in the
examples workspace.
This commits also implement the query reform from #608. It also consists
of many, many breaking changes. Among them are:
* Query parts in route paths use new query reform syntax.
* Routing for queries is now lenient.
- Default ranking has changed to reflect query reform.
* Format routing matching has been fixed.
- Routes with formats matching "accept" will always collide.
- Routes with formats matching "content-type" require requests to
have an equivalent content-type header to match.
- Requests with imprecise content-types are treated as not having a
content-type.
* Generated routes and catchers respect visibility modifiers.
* Raw getter methods from request were renamed and retooled.
- In particular, the index parameter is based on segments in the
route path, not dynamic parameters.
* The method-based attributes no longer accept a keyed 'path'.
* The 'rocket_codegen' crate is gone and will no longer be public.
* The 'FormItems' iterator emits values of type 'FormItem'.
- The internal form items' string can no longer be retrieved.
* In general, routes are more strictly validated.
* Logging from codegen now funnels through logging infrastructure.
* Routing has been optimized by caching routing metadata.

The directory structure has changed to better isolate crates serving
core and contrib. The new directory structure is:
contrib/
lib/ - the contrib library
core/
lib/ - the core Rocket library
codegen/ - the "compile extension" codegen library
codegen_next/ - the new proc-macro library
examples/ - unchanged
scripts/ - unchanged
site/ - unchanged
This commit also removes the following files:
appveyor.yml - AppVeyor (Rust on Windows) is far too spotty for use
rustfmt.toml - rustfmt is, unfortunately, not mature enough for use
Finally, all example Cargo crates were marked with 'publish = false'.
