This changes core routing so that '<path..>' in a route URI matches zero
or more segments. Previously, '<path..>' matched _1_ or more.
* Routes '$a' and '$b/<p..>' collide if $a and $b previously collided.
* For example, '/' now collides with '/<p..>'.
* Request '$a' matches route '$b/<p..>' if $a previously matched $b.
* For example, request '/' matches route '/<p..>'.
Resolves#985.
In brief, this commit:
* Updates to the latest upstream 'cookie', fixing a memory leak.
* Make changes to 'CookieJar' observable only through 'pending()'.
* Deprecates 'Client::new()' in favor of 'Client::tracked()'.
* Makes 'dispatch()' on tracked 'Client's synchronize on cookies.
* Makes 'Client::untracked()' actually untracked.
This commit updates to the latest 'cookie' which removes support for
'Sync' cookie jars. Instead of relying on 'cookie', this commit
implements an op-log based 'CookieJar' which internally keeps track of
changes. The API is such that changes are only observable through
specialized '_pending()' methods.
This commit adds the 'local::blocking' module and moves the existing
asynchronous testing to 'local::asynchronous'. It also includes several
changes to improve the local API, bringing it to parity (and beyond)
with master. These changes are:
* 'LocalRequest' implements 'Clone'.
* 'LocalResponse' doesn't implement 'DerefMut<Target=Response>'.
Instead, direct methods on the type, such as 'into_string()', can
be used to read the 'Response'.
* 'Response::body()' returns an '&ResponseBody' as opposed to '&mut
ResponseBody', which is returned by a new 'Response::body_mut()'.
* '&ResponseBody' implements 'known_size()` to retrieve a body's size,
if it is known.

Previously, 'NamedFile::open()' called a synchronous I/O method. This
commit changes it to instead use tokio's 'File' for async I/O.
To allow this to change, the 'Handler' trait was fixed to enforce that
the lifetime of '&self', the reference to the handler, outlives the
incoming request. As a result, futures returned from a handler can hold
a reference to 'self'.
The attribute is applied everywhere it can be across the codebase and is
the newly preferred method for launching an application. This commit
also makes '#[rocket::main]` stricter by warning when it is applied to
functions other than 'main'.
* body_string_wait and body_bytes_wait are removed; use `.await` instead
* `dispatch()` is now an async fn and must be .await-ed
* Add `#[rocket::async_test]` macro, similar in purpose to `tokio::test`
* Tests now use either `rocket::async_test(async { })` or
`#[rocket::async_test]` in order to `.await` the futures returned
from `dispatch()` and `body_{string,bytes}()`
* Update 'test.sh' to reflect the tests that should be passing.
Broken:
* Cloned dispatch and mut_dispatch() with a live previous response now both fail, due to a (partial) check for mutable aliasing in LocalRequest.
* Some tests are still failing and need example-specific changes.
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.

Sessions
--------
This commit removes the `Session` type in favor of methods on the
`Cookies` types that allow for adding, removing, and getting private
(signed and encrypted) cookies. These methods provide a superset of
the functionality of `Session` while also being a minimal addition to
the existing API. They can be used to implement the previous `Session`
type as well as other forms of session storage. The new methods are:
* Cookie::add_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::remove_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::get_private(&self, &str)
Resolves#20
Testing
-------
This commit removes the `rocket::testing` module. It adds the
`rocket::local` module which provides a `Client` type for local
dispatching of requests against a `Rocket` instance. This `local`
package subsumes the previous `testing` package.
Rocket Examples
---------------
The `forms`, `optional_result`, and `hello_alt_methods` examples have
been removed. The following example have been renamed:
* extended_validation -> form_validation
* hello_ranks -> ranking
* from_request -> request_guard
* hello_tls -> tls
Other Changes
-------------
This commit also includes the following smaller changes:
* Config::{development, staging, production} constructors have been
added for easier creation of default `Config` structures.
* The `Config` type is exported from the root.
* `Request` implements `Clone` and `Debug`.
* `Request::new` is no longer exported.
* A `Response::body_bytes` method was added to easily retrieve a
response's body as a `Vec<u8>`.
This is a breaking change. It modifies collisions with respect to query
parameters as well as the default ranking of routes.
A route that does not specify query parameters will now match against
requests with _and without_ query parameters, assuming all other
elements of the route match as well. A route that _does_ specify query
parameters will only match requests with query parameters; this remains
true.
To accommodate this change in the most natural manner possible, the
default rankings of routes have changed as illustrated below:
|-------------+-------+----------+---------------|
| static path | query | new rank | previous rank |
|-------------+-------+----------+---------------|
| yes | yes | -4 | 0 |
| yes | no | -3 | 0 |
| no | yes | -2 | 1 |
| no | no | -1 | 1 |
|-------------+-------+----------+---------------|
In other words, the most specific routes, with preference for paths over
queries, are ranked highest (lower number).
This is a complete rework of `Responder`s and of the http backend in
general. This gets Rocket one step closer to HTTP library independence,
enabling many future features such as transparent async I/O, automatic
HEAD request parsing, pre/post hooks, and more.
Summary of changes:
* `Responder::response` no longer takes in `FreshHyperResponse`.
Instead, it returns a new `Response` type.
* The new `Response` type now encapsulates a full HTTP response. As a
result, `Responder`s now return it.
* The `Handler` type now returns an `Outcome` directly.
* The `ErrorHandler` returns a `Result`. It can no longer forward,
which made no sense previously.
* `Stream` accepts a chunked size parameter.
* `StatusCode` removed in favor of new `Status` type.
* `ContentType` significantly modified.
* New, lightweight `Header` type that plays nicely with `Response`.
Experimented with the new impl specialization features of Rust. They work! But
they're not quite there yet. Specifically, I was able to specialize on
`Responder`, but when trying to remove the macro in `FromParam`, it didn't work.
