This is a cleanup pull request that does:
* removes `os::as_c_charp`
* moves `str::as_buf` and `str::as_c_str` into `StrSlice`
* converts some functions from `StrSlice::as_buf` to `StrSlice::as_c_str`
* renames `StrSlice::as_buf` to `StrSlice::as_imm_buf` (and adds `StrSlice::as_mut_buf` to match `vec.rs`.
* renames `UniqueStr::as_bytes_with_null_consume` to `UniqueStr::to_bytes`
* and other misc cleanups and minor optimizations
Some notes about the commits.
Exit code propagation commits:
* ```Reimplement unwrap()``` has the same old code from ```arc::unwrap``` ported to use modern atomic types and finally (it's considerably nicer this way)
* ```Add try_unwrap()``` has some new slightly-tricky (but pretty simple) concurrency primitive code
* ```Add KillHandle``` and ```Add kill::Death``` are the bulk of the logic.
Task killing commits:
* ```Implement KillHandle::kill() and friends```, ```Do a task-killed check```, and ```Add BlockedTask``` implement the killing logic;
* ```Change the HOF context switchers``` turns said logic on
Linked failure commits:
* ```Replace *rust_task ptrs``` adapts the taskgroup code to work for both runtimes
* ```Enable taskgroup code``` does what it says on the tin.

If the TLS key is 0-sized, then the linux linker is apparently smart enough to
put everything at the same pointer. OSX on the other hand, will reserve some
space for all of them. To get around this, the TLS key now actuall consumes
space to ensure that it gets a unique pointer
cc #6004 and #3273
This is a rewrite of TLS to get towards not requiring `@` when using task local storage. Most of the rewrite is straightforward, although there are two caveats:
1. Changing `local_set` to not require `@` is blocked on #7673
2. The code in `local_pop` is some of the most unsafe code I've written. A second set of eyes should definitely scrutinize it...
The public-facing interface currently hasn't changed, although it will have to change because `local_data::get` cannot return `Option<T>`, nor can it return `Option<&T>` (the lifetime isn't known). This will have to be changed to be given a closure which yield `&T` (or as an Option). I didn't do this part of the api rewrite in this pull request as I figured that it could wait until when `@` is fully removed.
This also doesn't deal with the issue of using something other than functions as keys, but I'm looking into using static slices (as mentioned in the issues).
