541532 - pass native library names through to 2-level symbol imports in backend

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Servo Graveyard :: Rust, defect)

Description

[Graydon Hoare :graydon]

Currently the native function system only imports symbols from 2 places: the platform C library (if the nabi convention is CONV_cdecl) and the rust runtime library (if the nabi convention is CONV_rust). This is a complete hack: the proper thing to do is support naming libraries in the native fn decls, at the crate level, and passing those libraries through to the backend where they get emitted as linker 2-level (library:symbol) imports.

Will require modifying Ast.native_fn and the parser, and some (relatively harmless) bits of the later stages (eg. Trans.trans_native_fn).
