This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
The method names in std::rt::io::extensions::WriterByteConversions are
the same as those in std::io::WriterUtils and a resolve error causes
rustc to fail after trying to find an impl of io::Writer instead of
trying to look for rt::io::Writer as well.

Same goes for ReaderByteConversions.
This resolves issue #908.
Notable changes:
- On Windows, LLVM integrated assembler emits bad stack unwind tables when segmented stacks are enabled. However, unwind info directives in the assembly output are correct, so we generate assembly first and then run it through an external assembler, just like it is already done for Android builds.
- Linker is invoked via "g++" command instead of "gcc": g++ passes the appropriate magic parameters to the linker, which ensure correct registration of stack unwind tables in dynamic libraries.
- change all uses of Path in fn args to &P
- FileStream.read assumptions were wrong (libuv file io is non-positional)
- the above will mean that we "own" Seek impl info .. should probably
push it in UvFileDescriptor..
- needs more tests
Each IO handle has a home event loop, which created it.
When a task wants to use an IO handle, it must first make sure it is on that home event loop.
It uses the scheduler handle in the IO handle to send itself there before starting the IO action.
Once the IO action completes, the task restores its previous home state.
If it is an AnySched task, then it will be executed on the new scheduler.
If it has a normal home, then it will return there before executing any more code after the IO action.
FromStr implemented from scratch.
It is overengineered a bit, however.
Old implementation handles errors by fail!()-ing. And it has bugs, like it accepts `127.0.0.1::127.0.0.1` as IPv6 address, and does not handle all ipv4-in-ipv6 schemes. So I decided to implement parser from scratch.
Better than that in rt::uv::net, because it:
* handles invalid input explicitly, without fail!()
* parses socket address, not just IP
* handles various ipv4-in-ipv6 addresses, like 2001:db8:122:344::192.0.2.33
(see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6052 for example)
* rejects output like `127.0000000.0.1`
* does not allocate heap memory
* have unit tests
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
multicast functions now take IpAddr (without port), because they dont't
need port.
Uv* types renamed:
* UvIpAddr -> UvSocketAddr
* UvIpv4 -> UvIpv4SocketAddr
* UvIpv6 -> UvIpv6SocketAddr
"Socket address" is a common name for (ip-address, port) pair (e.g. in
sockaddr_in struct).
P. S. Are there any backward compatibility concerns? What is std::rt module, is it a part of public API?

old design the TLS held the scheduler struct, and the scheduler struct
held the active task. This posed all sorts of weird problems due to
how we wanted to use the contents of TLS. The cleaner approach is to
leave the active task in TLS and have the task hold the scheduler. To
make this work out the scheduler has to run inside a regular task, and
then once that is the case the context switching code is massively
simplified, as instead of three possible paths there is only one. The
logical flow is also easier to follow, as the scheduler struct acts
somewhat like a "token" indicating what is active.
These changes also necessitated changing a large number of runtime
tests, and rewriting most of the runtime testing helpers.
Polish level is "low", as I will very soon start on more scheduler
changes that will require wiping the polish off. That being said there
should be sufficient comments around anything complex to make this
entirely respectable as a standalone commit.
Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
