This pull request extracts all scheduling functionality from libstd, moving it into its own separate crates. The new libnative and libgreen will be the new way in which 1:1 and M:N scheduling is implemented. The standard library still requires an interface to the runtime, however, (think of things like `std::comm` and `io::println`). The interface is now defined by the `Runtime` trait inside of `std::rt`.
The booting process is now that libgreen defines the start lang-item and that's it. I want to extend this soon to have libnative also have a "start lang item" but also allow libgreen and libnative to be linked together in the same process. For now though, only libgreen can be used to start a program (unless you define the start lang item yourself). Again though, I want to change this soon, I just figured that this pull request is large enough as-is.
This certainly wasn't a smooth transition, certain functionality has no equivalent in this new separation, and some functionality is now better enabled through this new system. I did my best to separate all of the commits by topic and keep things fairly bite-sized, although are indeed larger than others.
As a note, this is currently rebased on top of my `std::comm` rewrite (or at least an old copy of it), but none of those commits need reviewing (that will all happen in another pull request).
* vec::raw::to_ptr is gone
* Pausible => Pausable
* Removing @
* Calling the main task "<main>"
* Removing unused imports
* Removing unused mut
* Bringing some libextra tests up to date
* Allowing compiletest to work at stage0
* Fixing the bootstrap-from-c rmake tests
* assert => rtassert in a few cases
* printing to stderr instead of stdout in fail!()
It only really makes sense to run tests for the build target anyway because it's
not guaranteed that you can execute other targets.
This is blocking the next snapshot

This test also had a race condition in using the cvar/lock, so I fixed that up
as well. The race originated from one half trying to destroy the lock when
another half was using it.
These functions are all unnecessary now, and they only have meaning in the M:N
context. Removing these functions uncovered a bug in the librustuv timer
bindings, but it was fairly easy to cover (and the test is already committed).
These cannot be completely removed just yet due to their usage in the WaitQueue
of extra::sync, and until the mutex in libextra is rewritten it will not be
possible to remove the deferred sends for channels.
The rmake tests should depend on the target libraries (for linking), not just
the host libraries (for running). The host file dependencies are also correct
now because HLIBRUSTC_DEFAULT doesn't actually exist.
The uv loop was being destroyed before the async handle was being destroyed, so
closing the async handle was causing a use-after-free in the uv loop. This was
fixed by moving destruction of the queue's async handle to an earlier location
and then actually freeing it once the loop has been dropped.
