So far, the source location an LLVM instruction was linked to was controlled by
`debuginfo::set_source_location()` and `debuginfo::clear_source_location()`.
This interface mimicked how LLVM's `IRBuilder` handles debug location
assignment. While this interface has some theoretical performance benefits, it
also makes things terribly unstable: One sets some quasi-global state and then
hopes that it is still correct when a given instruction is emitted---an
assumption that has been proven to not hold a bit too often.
This patch requires the debug source location to be passed to the actual
instruction emitting function. This makes source location assignment explicit
and will prevent future changes to `trans` from accidentally breaking things in
the majority of cases.
This patch does not yet implement the new principle for all instruction kinds
but the stepping experience should have improved significantly nonetheless
already.
fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

Use autoderef for call notation. This is consistent in that we now autoderef all postfix operators (`.`, `[]`, and `()`). It also means you can call closures without writing `(*f)()`. Note that this is rebased atop the rollup, so only the final commit is relevant.

- The following operator traits now take their arguments by value: `Add`, `Sub`, `Mul`, `Div`, `Rem`, `BitAnd`, `BitOr`, `BitXor`, `Shl`, `Shr`. This breaks all existing implementations of these traits.
- The binary operation `a OP b` now "desugars" to `OpTrait::op_method(a, b)` and consumes both arguments.
- `String` and `Vec` addition have been changed to reuse the LHS owned value, and to avoid internal cloning. Only the following asymmetric operations are available: `String + &str` and `Vec<T> + &[T]`, which are now a short-hand for the "append" operation.

This passes `make check` locally. I haven't touch the unary operators in this PR, but converting them to by value should be very similar to this PR. I can work on them after this gets the thumbs up.
@nikomatsakis r? the compiler changes
@aturon r? the library changes. I think the only controversial bit is the semantic change of the `Vec`/`String` `Add` implementation.
