What is this lint about

When some feature is unstable, but was allowed on stable due to some stability checking hole or oversight we may unstabilize it in a "soft" way to avoid breaking crates depending on the crates using the feature.

This soft unstabilization can be done using this lint.

Features that are currently emitting this lint

The #[bench] attribute

Tracking issue: #50297

Inner #![test] and #![rustfmt::skip]

Tracking issue: #54726

RustcEncodable & RustcDecodable

Tracking issue: #134301

Before adding new features here, read this

We should really support a separate tracking issue for each case of a soft-unstable feature; having them all point here doesn't make a ton of sense.

#[deny(soft_unstable)] is on by default, but the error message (playground) still has a lint-like note warning mentioning it will become a hard error in the future:

= warning: this was previously accepted by the compiler but is being phased out; it will become a hard error in a future release!
= note: for more information, see issue #64266 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64266>

do we need an issue for this ?

feature_gate: Remove `GateStrength`

The "soft feature gating" from `feature_gate/check.rs` is unused, and even if it were used, hardcoded warning is not a good solution and [deny-by-default lint](rust-lang#64266) would be a better way to do this.

Temporarily silence a Rust error
c11c9ed 
The generated Rust code from our proto files triggers a warning in Rust
nightly, which we treat as an error:

    error: custom inner attributes are unstable
    Error:  --> src/../proto/metadata.rs:9:4
      |
    9 | #![rustfmt::skip]
      |    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

      = note: `#[deny(soft_unstable)]` on by default

      = note: for more information, see issue #64266 <rust-lang/rust#64266>

This is already reported in the `rust-protobuf` repo [1] so until it's
fixed, we choose to silence this warning to make our builds work.

build cleanly with nightly Rust 2021-03-14+

The CI nightly builds had been broken with the following error:

```
error: custom inner attributes are unstable
  --> /home/runner/work/moonfire-nvr/moonfire-nvr/server/target/debug/build/moonfire-db-415ce696a754c614/out/schema.rs:10:4

```

I'd thought this was by mistake given that #[rustfmt::skip] is still
advertised on rustfmt's github page, but maybe not. Looks like
rust-protobuf's newest version uses
`#![cfg_attr(rustfmt, rustfmt::skip)]` to avoid this error.

Also fix a warning on nightly about an extraneous semicolon.

So this feature is used to make breaking change to avoid breaking change ? The concept of solf_unstable don't make any sense for me, specially if #[deny(soft_unstable)] is default. It's just a more complicate way that produce the same result. Or I'm missing something.

#[stability(level=2.33333333, wind-strenght=5.3)] (not from me, author probably wishes to stay in shadow)

Why doesn't compiler error message say what feature should I enable? It tells me about the lint soft_unstable but not about feature(custom_inner_attributes). Error messages for unstable features typically tell you the name of the feature.

This has been shown in future breakage reports for almost a year now (since #116274). I think we should move on towards making this lint a hard error.

IMO if we want to de-stabilize something in the future, we should just have a new lint for each such case. I don't think it is a good idea to have one lint used as a grab-bag for a bunch of independent things; each de-stabilization needs to be handled on its own timeline anyway and might need its own guidance for how to adjust the code to make it still work.

@kryptan please file an issue with a piece of example code triggering a sub-par diagnostic, and what information you think is missing from the diagnostic.
