14caf00c92 rustuv: Write homing tests with SchedPool
Use the previous commit's new scheduler pool abstraction in libgreen to write
some homing tests which force an I/O handle to be homed from one event loop to
another.

3893716390 Finalize the green::Pool type
The scheduler pool now has a much more simplified interface. There is now a
clear distinction between creating the pool and then interacting the pool. When
a pool is created, all schedulers are not active, and only later if a spawn is
done does activity occur.

There are four operations that you can do on a pool:

1. Create a new pool. The only argument to this function is the configuration
   for the scheduler pool. Currently the only configuration parameter is the
   number of threads to initially spawn.

2. Spawn a task into this pool. This takes a procedure and task configuration
   options and spawns a new task into the pool of schedulers.

3. Spawn a new scheduler into the pool. This will return a handle on which to
   communicate with the scheduler in order to do something like a pinned task.

4. Shut down the scheduler pool. This will consume the scheduler pool, request
   all of the schedulers to shut down, and then wait on all the scheduler
   threads. Currently this will block the invoking OS thread, but I plan on
   making 'Thread::join' not a thread-blocking call.

These operations can be used to encode all current usage of M:N schedulers, as
well as providing a simple interface through which a pool can be modified. There
is currently no way to remove a scheduler from a pool of scheduler, as there's
no way to guarantee that a scheduler has exited. This may be added in the
future, however (as necessary).

51abdee5f1 green: Rip the bandaid off, introduce libgreen
This extracts everything related to green scheduling from libstd and introduces
a new libgreen crate. This mostly involves deleting most of std::rt and moving
it to libgreen.

Along with the movement of code, this commit rearchitects many functions in the
scheduler in order to adapt to the fact that Local::take now *only* works on a
Task, not a scheduler. This mostly just involved threading the current green
task through in a few locations, but there were one or two spots where things
got hairy.

There are a few repercussions of this commit:

* tube/rc have been removed (the runtime implementation of rc)
* There is no longer a "single threaded" spawning mode for tasks. This is now
  encompassed by 1:1 scheduling + communication. Convenience methods have been
  introduced that are specific to libgreen to assist in the spawning of pools of
  schedulers.
