The compiler was updated to recognize that implementations for ty_uniq(..) are
allowed if the Box lang item is located in the current crate. This enforces the
idea that libcore cannot allocated, and moves all related trait implementations
from libcore to libstd.
This is a breaking change in that the AnyOwnExt trait has moved from the any
module to the owned module. Any previous users of std::any::AnyOwnExt should now
use std::owned::AnyOwnExt instead. This was done because the trait is intended
for Box traits and only Box traits.

This commit removes the std::{managed, reference} modules. The modules serve
essentially no purpose, and the only free function removed was `managed::ptr_eq`
which can be achieved by comparing references.

for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

`TotalEq` is now just an assertion about the `Eq` impl of a
type (i.e. `==` is a total equality if a type implements `TotalEq`) so
the extra method is just confusing.
Also, a new method magically appeared as a hack to allow deriving to
assert that the contents of a struct/enum are also TotalEq, because the
deriving infrastructure makes it very hard to do anything but create a
trait method. (You didn't hear about this horrible work-around from me
:(.)
