80cb0cf821 Auto merge of #11872 - eddyb:back-to-roots, r=Ms2ger
Replace return_address usage for rooting with stack guards and convenience macros.

The existing `Rooted` and `RootedVec` users were migrated the the following two macros:
```rust
let x = Rooted::new(cx, value);
// Was changed to:
rooted!(in(cx) let x = value);
// Which expands to:
let mut __root = Rooted::new_unrooted(value);
let x = RootedGuard::new(cx, &mut __root);
```
```rust
let mut v = RootedVec::new();
v.extend(iterator);
// Was changed to:
rooted_vec!(let v <- iterator);
// Which expands to:
let mut __root = RootableVec::new();
let v = RootedVec::new(&mut __root, iterator);
```

The `rooted!` macro depends on servo/rust-mozjs#272.
These APIs based on two types, a container to be rooted and a rooting guard, allow implementing both `Rooted`-style rooting and `Traceable`-based rooting in stable Rust, without abusing `return_address`.

Such macros may have been tried before, but in 1.9 their hygiene is broken, they work only since 1.10.

Sadly, `Rooted` is a FFI type and completely exposed, so I cannot prevent anyone from creating their own, although all fields but the value get overwritten by `RootedGuard::new` anyway.
`RootableVec` OTOH is *guaranteed* to be empty when not rooted, which makes it harmless AFAICT.

By fixing rust-lang/rust#34227, this PR enables Servo to build with `-Zorbit`.
