This adds a lint mode for detecting unnecessary allocations on the heap. This isn't super fancy, currently it only has two rules
1. For a function's arguments, if you allocate a `[~|@]str` literal, when the type of the argument is a `&str`, emit a warning.
2. For the same case, emit warnings for boxed vectors when slices are required.
After adding the lint, I rampaged through the libraries and removed all the unnecessary allocations I could find.
Replace all instances of #[auto_*code] with the appropriate #[deriving] attribute
and remove the majority of the actual auto_* code, leaving stubs to refer the user to
the new syntax.
Also, moves the useful contents of auto_encode.rs to more appropriate spots: tests and comments to deriving/encodable.rs, and the ExtCtxtMethods trait to build.rs (unused so far, but the method syntax might be nicer than using the mk_* fns in many instances).

fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
r? @pcwalton
* Move `SharedMutableState`, `LittleLock`, and `Exclusive` from `core::unstable` to `core::unstable::sync`
* Modernize the `SharedMutableState` interface with methods
* Rename `SharedMutableState` to `UnsafeAtomicRcBox` to match `RcBox`.
Every unresolved import is reported. An additional error message isn't useful
and obscures (imo) the real errors: I need to take it into account when
looking at the error count.
r? @nikomatsakis In #6319, several people mentioned they ran into a "computing
fictitious type" ICE in trans. This turns out to be because some
of my recent changes to typeck::check::_match resulted in type errors
getting reported with ty_err as the expected type, which meant the errors
were suppressed, and typechecking incorrectly succeeded (since the errors
weren't recorded).
Changed the error messages in these cases not to use an expected type at all,
rather, printing out a string describing the type that was expected (which is
what the code originally did). The result is a bit repetitive and the
proliferation of error-reporting functions in typeck::infer is a bit annoying,
but I thought it was important to fix this now; more cleanup can happen later.

**Caveat**: With the current commit, this check only works for `match`s, the checks (incorrectly) do not run for patterns in `let`s, and invalid/unsafe code compiles.
I don't know how to fix this, I experimented with some things to try to make let patterns and match patterns run on the same code (since this would presumably fix many of the other unsoundness issues of let-patterns, e.g. #6225), but I don't understand enough of the code. (I think I heard someone talking about a fix for `let` being in progress?)
Fixes#6344 and #6341.
