Generates a new method on attributed types, `pool()`, which returns an
opaque reference to a type that can be used to get pooled connections.
Also adds a code-generated example to the crate docs which includes
real, proper function signatures and fully checked examples.
Resolves#1884.
Closes#1972.
This is the async analog of 'rocket_sync_db_pools', rewritten to be
cleaner, leaner, easier to maintain and extend, and better documented.

Resolves#1187.
Previously, 'serde_json::Value' was used to store the serialized
template context. This value does not represent all of serde's data
model. This means we may fail to serialize a valid Rust value into it,
for instance, 128-bit integers. This is reduced with Figment's 'Value',
which supports the majority if not all of the serde data model.
At present, all supported templating engines use 'serde_json::Value', so
in practice, this commit has no effect but to reduce local dependencies
and provide better error messages for bad contexts.
This allows responses to be sent to the client even when data is only
partially read, significantly improving the experience for the client
from one with a "connection closed" error to one with a proper response.
The consequence is a lifetime in 'Data'.
Though other non-lifetime-introducing solutions exist, the introduction
of a lifetime to 'Data' is a longstanding desire as it prevents
smuggling 'Data' into a longer-lived context. Use of 'Data' in that
context was unspecified with various runtime consequences. The addition
of a lifetime bound by the request prevents this error statically.
In summary, the changes are:
* Clients receive responses even when data isn't fully read.
* 'Data' becomes 'Data<'r>'. 'FromData' changes accordingly.
* Route 'Outcome's are strictly tied to the request lifetime.
Tangentially, the invalid length form field validation error message has
improved to format length in byte units if it exceeds 1024.
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 'Uuid' wrapper type is gone.
* 'Uuid' implements 'UriDisplay', 'FromUriParam'.
* The 'serialization' example merges in 'uuid'.
Resolves#1299.
The 'SpaceHelmet' fairing is now called 'Shield'. It features the
following changes and improvements:
* Headers which are now ignored by browsers are removed.
* 'XssFilter' is no longer an on-by-default policy.
* A new 'Permission' policy is introduced.
* 'Shield' is attached to all 'Rocket' instances by default.
* Default headers never allocate on 'Clone'.
* Policy headers are rendered once and cached at start-up.
* Improved use of typed URIs in policy types.
