Replace all instances of #[auto_*code] with the appropriate #[deriving] attribute
and remove the majority of the actual auto_* code, leaving stubs to refer the user to
the new syntax.
Also, moves the useful contents of auto_encode.rs to more appropriate spots: tests and comments to deriving/encodable.rs, and the ExtCtxtMethods trait to build.rs (unused so far, but the method syntax might be nicer than using the mk_* fns in many instances).

Closes#6183.
The first commit changes the compiler's method of treating a `for` loop, and all the remaining commits are just dealing with the fallout.
The biggest fallout was the `IterBytes` trait, although it's really a whole lot nicer now because all of the `iter_bytes_XX` methods are just and-ed together. Sadly there was a huge amount of stuff that's `cfg(stage0)` gated, but whoever lands the next snapshot is going to have a lot of fun deleting all this code!
&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
The former fills each field of a struct or enum variant with a random
value (and picks a random enum variant). The latter makes the .to_str
method have the same output as fmt!("%?", ..).
This adds support for static methods, and arguments of most types, traits with
type parameters, methods with type parameters (and lifetimes for both), as well
as making the code more robust to support deriving on types with lifetimes (i.e.
'self).
Allow a deriving instance using the generic code to short-circuit for
any non-matching enum variants (grouping them all into a _ match),
reducing the number of arms required. Use this to speed up the Eq &
TotalEq implementations.
Pulls out many of the common patterns from the Eq and Clone deriving code (and
invents a few of its own), so that deriving instances are very easy to write
for a certain class of traits. (Basically, those which don't have parameters
and where all methods only take arguments of type `&Self` and return either
`Self` or types with no parameters.)
bare function store (which is not in fact a kind of value) but rather
ty::TraitRef. Removes many uses of fail!() and other telltale signs of
type-semantic mismatch.
