Adds a fence operation to close#8061
Also adds static initializers to for atomic types. Since the fields are private, you aren't able to have `static mut` variables that are an atomic type. Each atomic type's initializer starts at a 0-value (so unset for `AtomicFlag` and false for `AtomicBool`).
Good evening,
This is a superset of @MaikKlein's #7969 commit, that I've fixed up to compile. I had a couple commits I wanted to do on top of @MaikKlein's work that I didn't want to bitrot.
To be more specific:
`UPPERCASETYPE` was changed to `UppercaseType`
`type_new` was changed to `Type::new`
`type_function(value)` was changed to `value.method()`
With the recent fixes to method resolution, we can now remove the
dummy type parameters used as crutches in the iterator module.
For example, the zip adaptor type is just ZipIterator<T, U> now.
Implements various missing tcp & udp methods.. Also fixes handling ipv4-mapped/compatible ipv6 addresses and addresses the XXX on `status_to_maybe_uv_error`.

This moves the raw struct layout of closures, vectors, boxes, and strings into a
new `unstable::raw` module. This is meant to be a centralized location to find
information for the layout of these values.
As safe method, `unwrap`, is provided to convert a rust value to its raw
representation. Unsafe methods to convert back are not provided because they are
rarely used and too numerous to write an implementation for each (not much of a
common pattern).
This is progress on #6790. I tried to get a nice interface for a trait to implement in the raw module, but I was unable to come up with one. The hard part is that there are so many different directions to go from one way to another that it's difficult to find a pattern to follow to implement a trait with. Someone else might have some better luck though.
