Renamed the invert() function in iter.rs to flip().
Also renamed the Invert<T> type to Flip<T>.
Some related code comments changed. Documentation that I could find has
been updated, and all the instances I could locate where the
function/type were called have been updated as well.
The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.
This commit uniforms the short title of modules provided by libstd,
in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.

`.as_mut_buf` was used exactly once, in `.push_char` which could be
written in a simpler way, using the `&mut ~[u8]` that it already
retrieved. In the rare situation when someone really needs
`.as_mut_buf`-like functionality (getting a `*mut u8`), they can go via
`str::raw::as_owned_vec`.
This function had type &[u8] -> ~str, i.e. it allocates a string
internally, even though the non-allocating version that take &[u8] ->
&str and ~[u8] -> ~str are all that is necessary in most circumstances.
This involved changing a fair amount of code, rooted in how we access the local
IoFactory instance. I added a helper method to the rtio module to access the
optional local IoFactory. This is different than before in which it was assumed
that a local IoFactory was *always* present. Now, a separate io_error is raised
when an IoFactory is not present, yet I/O is requested.
This removes the PathLike trait associated with this "support module". This is
yet another "container of bytes" trait, so I didn't want to duplicate what
already exists throughout libstd. In actuality, we're going to pass of C strings
to the libuv APIs, so instead the arguments are now bound with the 'ToCStr'
trait instead.
Additionally, a layer of complexity was removed by immediately converting these
type-generic parameters into CStrings to get handed off to libuv apis.
d4a32386f3 broke these since slice_to() and slice_from() must get character
boundaries, and arbitrary needle lengths don't necessarily map to character
boundaries of the haystack.
This also adds new tests that would have caught this bug.
