This commit completely rewrites Rocket's HTTP serving. In addition to
significant internal cleanup, this commit introduces the following major
features:
* Support for custom, external listeners in the `listener` module.
The new `listener` module contains new `Bindable`, `Listener`, and
`Connection` traits which enable composable, external
implementations of connection listeners. Rocket can launch on any
`Listener`, or anything that can be used to create a listener
(`Bindable`), via a new `launch_on()` method.
* Support for Unix domain socket listeners out of the box.
The default listener backwards compatibly supports listening on Unix
domain sockets. To do so, configure an `address` of
`unix:path/to/socket` and optional set `reuse` to `true` (the
default) or `false` which controls whether Rocket will handle
creating and deleting the unix domain socket.
In addition to these new features, this commit makes the following major
improvements:
* Rocket now depends on hyper 1.
* Rocket no longer depends on hyper to handle connections. This allows
us to handle more connection failure conditions which results in an
overall more robust server with fewer dependencies.
* Logic to work around hyper's inability to reference incoming request
data in the response results in a 15% performance improvement.
* `Client`s can be marked secure with `Client::{un}tracked_secure()`,
allowing Rocket to treat local connections as running under TLS.
* The `macros` feature of `tokio` is no longer used by Rocket itself.
Dependencies can take advantage of this reduction in compile-time
cost by disabling the new default feature `tokio-macros`.
* A new `TlsConfig::validate()` method allows checking a TLS config.
* New `TlsConfig::{certs,key}_reader()`,
`MtlsConfig::ca_certs_reader()` methods return `BufReader`s, which
allow reading the configured certs and key directly.
* A new `NamedFile::open_with()` constructor allows specifying
`OpenOptions`.
These improvements resulted in the following breaking changes:
* The MSRV is now 1.74.
* `hyper` is no longer exported from `rocket::http`.
* `IoHandler::io` takes `Box<Self>` instead of `Pin<Box<Self>>`.
- Use `Box::into_pin(self)` to recover the previous type.
* `Response::upgrade()` now returns an `&mut dyn IoHandler`, not
`Pin<& mut _>`.
* `Config::{address,port,tls,mtls}` methods have been removed.
- Use methods on `Rocket::endpoint()` instead.
* `TlsConfig` was moved to `tls::TlsConfig`.
* `MutualTls` was renamed and moved to `mtls::MtlsConfig`.
* `ErrorKind::TlsBind` was removed.
* The second field of `ErrorKind::Shutdown` was removed.
* `{Local}Request::{set_}remote()` methods take/return an `Endpoint`.
* `Client::new()` was removed; it was previously deprecated.
Internally, the following major changes were made:
* A new `async_bound` attribute macro was introduced to allow setting
bounds on futures returned by `async fn`s in traits while
maintaining good docs.
* All utility functionality was moved to a new `util` module.

The core 'Rocket' type is parameterized: 'Rocket<P: Phase>', where
'Phase' is a newly introduced, sealed marker trait. The trait is
implemented by three new marker types representing the three launch
phases: 'Build', 'Ignite', and 'Orbit'. Progression through these three
phases, in order, is enforced, as are the invariants guaranteed by each
phase. In particular, an instance of 'Rocket' is guaranteed to be in its
final configuration after the 'Build' phase and represent a running
local or public server in the 'Orbit' phase. The 'Ignite' phase serves
as an intermediate, enabling inspection of a finalized but stationary
instance. Transition between phases validates the invariants required
by the transition.
All APIs have been adjusted appropriately, requiring either an instance
of 'Rocket' in a particular phase ('Rocket<Build>', 'Rocket<Ignite>', or
'Rocket<Orbit>') or operating generically on a 'Rocket<P>'.
Documentation is also updated and substantially improved to mention
required and guaranteed invariants.
Additionally, this commit makes the following relevant changes:
* 'Rocket::ignite()' is now a public interface.
* 'Rocket::{build,custom}' methods can no longer panic.
* 'Launch' fairings are now 'ignite' fairings.
* 'Liftoff' fairings are always run, even in local mode.
* All 'ignite' fairings run concurrently at ignition.
* Launch logging occurs on launch, not any point prior.
* Launch log messages have improved formatting.
* A new launch error kind, 'Config', was added.
* A 'fairing::Result' type alias was introduced.
* 'Shutdown::shutdown()' is now 'Shutdown::notify()'.
Some internal changes were also introduced:
* Fairing 'Info' name for 'Templates' is now 'Templating'.
* Shutdown is implemented using 'tokio::sync::Notify'.
* 'Client::debug()' is used nearly universally in tests.

This commit reverts most of dea940c7 and d89c7024. The "fix" is to run
attach fairings on a new thread. If a runtime is already running, it is
used. Otherwise, the future is executed in a single-threaded executor.
This commit completely overhauls Rocket's configuration systems, basing
it on the new Figment library. It includes many breaking changes
pertaining to configuration. They are:
* "Environments" are replaced by "profiles".
* 'ROCKET_PROFILE' takes the place of 'ROCKET_ENV'.
* Profile names are now arbitrary, but 'debug' and 'release' are given
special treatment as default profiles for the debug and release
compilation profiles.
* A 'default' profile now sits along-side the meta 'global' profile.
* The concept of "extras" is no longer present; users can extract any
values they want from the configured 'Figment'.
* The 'Poolable' trait takes an '&Config'.
* The 'secrets' feature is disabled by default.
* It is a hard error if 'secrets' is enabled under the 'release'
profile and no 'secret_key' is configured.
* 'ConfigBuilder' no longer exists: all fields of 'Config' are public
with public constructors for each type.
* 'keep_alive' is disabled with '0', not 'false' or 'off'.
* Inlined error variants into the 'Error' structure.
* 'LoggingLevel' is now 'LogLevel'.
* Limits can now be specified in SI units: "1 MiB".
The summary of other changes are:
* The default config file can be configured with 'ROCKET_CONFIG'.
* HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 keep-alive configuration is restored.
* 'ctrlc' is now a recognized config option.
* 'serde' is now a core dependency.
* TLS misconfiguration errors are improved.
* Several example use '_' as the return type of '#[launch]' fns.
* 'AdHoc::config()' was added for simple config extraction.
* Added more documentation for using 'Limits'.
* Launch information is no longer treated specially.
* The configuration guide was rewritten.
