To provide a reference counted pointer type with deterministic
destruction once managed boxes are switched over to a garbage
collector. Unlike managed boxes, these can be moved instead of just
copied/cloned which is helpful for avoiding reference counts.
Moving the trait into `core` allows it to be added to the `num::Float` trait.
I have also added and `assert_approx_eq!` macro. This is useful fo making approximate assertions on types that implement the `ApproxEq` trait.
Examples:
~~~rust
// using the default epsilon value
assert_approx_eq!(1.0000001f, 1.0f);
// using a custom epsilon value
assert_approx_eq!(1.000001f, 1.0f, 1.0e-5);
// fails with: "left: 1.00001 does not approximately equal right: 1"
assert_approx_eq!(1.00001f, 1.0f);

transitional patch to resolve compile/link failure on android
after #6161 landed, I've encountered below errors since android does not support glob in libc.

Since android does not have `glob.h`, `glob_t` definition comes from
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-ndk/vSH6MWPD0Vk#6100 should be resolved.
In commit d7f5e43 "core::rt: Add the local heap to newsched tasks",
local_malloc and local_free have become rather big and their forced
inlining causes quite a bit of code bloat. Compile times for crates
affected by the bloat (e.g. rustc) improve, while others (e.g. libstd)
seem to be unaffected, so I guess the inlining doesn't gain us much.
Sizes:
```
| librustc | libsytax
---------------|–-----------|------------
with inlining | 18,547,824 | 7,110,848
w/o inlining | 15,092,040 | 5,518,608

I just had `git apply` fix most of them and then did a quick skim over the diff to fix a few cases where it did the wrong thing (mostly replacing tabs with 4 spaces, when someone's editor had them at 8 spaces).
In rustpkg, pass around sysroot; in rustpkg tests, set the sysroot
manually so that tests can find libcore and such.
With bonus metadata::filesearch refactoring to avoid copies.
The install command should work now, though it only installs
in-place (anything else has to wait until I implement RUST_PATH).
Also including:
core: Add remove_directory_recursive, change copy_file
Make copy_file preserve permissions, and add a remove_directory_recursive
function.
This is an attempt to address Issue #3326 by adding [*order-only*][1]
prerequsites of each build product on the directory where it is to go.
It is important that the prerequisites be order-only, since the
timestamp on a parent directory is not relevant to whether a product
is out of date; the parent directory merely needs to exist.
(This use case of generating target directories was provided as an
[example][2] of how order-only prequisites are used.)

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
