OTP-21 readiness, Full Unicode support

This replaces all deprecated function usage by alternative ones based on
a version switch enacted at compile time, preventing all warnings.

This will likely introduce some possible runtime errors in using a
Rebar3 compiled on OTP-20 or OTP-21 back in versions 19 and earlier, but
we can't really work around that.

A bunch of dependencies have been updated to support OTP-21 without
warnings as well.

We no longer build the nightlies, just stables

Prevent hard crash on duplicate plugin paths

Fix include paths in profile multiapp edge case

The compiling of OTP applications is done by first topographically
sorting them according to their dependencies, deps-first. This allows
all compilation to take place in order. In the current code, the same
logic extends to top-level applications in an umbrella project.

Unfortunately, there are cases where this is not going to be true: when
an application has extra_src_dirs entries (or additional directories or
files) to conditionally compile under some profiles, it may start
depending on another top-level application dedicated to that profile for
include files.

However, such an app will never make it to production and neither will
the compilation artifacts that create the dependency. Under that
scenario, current rebar3 is unusable.

This patch makes it so that the compilation provider instead changes the
logic for top-level apps: rather than copying their directories one by
one and compiling them in order, it:

1. copies all top-level apps to the build directory so the files are in
   their proper locations
2. adds the top-level apps to the path (after the global hooks have run,
   so the existing scope and env has not changed)
3. runs the compilation as usual.

Fixes #1651

When a global plugin is used both locally and within the project, there
are cases when the rebar3 program will hard crash (killed in do_boot).
This has been traced to plugin-handling in compilation, where the same
code path may be purged twice in a row without further reloading for the
compile operation.

This of course yields the result where the code handling on the VM kills
all processes holding references to the module in memory, in this case
the rebar3 process itself.

By deduplicating the paths first, we ensure at most one purge before
reloading plugins and paths, and this prevents a hard crash.

Fix unlock state carry, which broke `do` sequences with `unlock` in them.

Avoid guessing on utf8 decoding of app files

When composed with 'do', not carrying the unlocks in state may create
problems.

Rather than trying one method and then the other, allow the caller to
specify the encoding of the expected file. All other schemes are risky
and won't work well.

Rollback the function's default interface to the binary format in case
any plugin used it for non-unicode content, preserving backwards compat.

Various fixes related to .app files

Warn user when a local git or hg resource is used

Those aren't supported and so a warning should be output. Fixes #1003

Getting real tired of that nondeterministic set of runs on OSX CI

Same default value as used in relx and other environments, but as
reported in #979 some tools don't like having no description available.

The parsing functions were used inconsistently, and the returned values
were bad in some clauses; things only worked because they are never used
within rebar3. This ensures the return types are consistent on all
clauses.

was still hardcoded to 3.4.4

Corrects a fix to src_dir values

The previous patch at #7c959cc fixed the usage of duplicate values
for directories through relative paths, but mistakenly went overboard
and dropped the `./` path, which is still fairly common. Similarly for
`../".

The code is modified to special-case such values and keep the code
working.

fix sys config merging

Fix relative src_dir specifications to avoid double .app.src file detection

When fetching src_dir values, some relative paths can be inserted. When
deduplicating the paths on the fetch, this fact means that logically
duplicate (but literally different) directories can be returned at once.

By normalizing the names, duplication bugs can be resolved.
