In rustpkg, pass around sysroot; in rustpkg tests, set the sysroot
manually so that tests can find libcore and such.
With bonus metadata::filesearch refactoring to avoid copies.

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
Recent demoding makes the visitor glue leak. It hasn't shown up in tests
because the box annihilator deletes the leaked boxes. This affects the
new scheduler though which does not yet have a box annihilator.
I don't think there's any great way to test this besides setting up
a task that doesn't run the box annihilator and I don't know that that's
a capability we want tasks to have.
Lots of linking arguments need to be passed as -Wl,--foo so giving the
comma meaning at the rustc layer makes those flags impossible to pass.
Multiple arguments can now be passed from a shell by quoting the
argument: --link-args='-lfoo -Wl,--as-needed'.
I don't know how one would write a separate test for this sort of thing. Building the compiler, and `make check` worked, which should mean I didn't screw anything.

I've added trt_field_vtable, trt_field_box, and trt_field_tydesc, and
inserted them in place of the "magic numbers" used to access trait
object fields through GEPi().
The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
After much discussion on IRC and #4819, we have decided to revert to the old naming of the `/` operator. This does not change its behavior. In making this change, we also have had to rename some of the methods in the `Integer` trait. Here is a list of the methods that have changed:
- `Quot::quot` -> `Div::div`
- `Rem::rem` - stays the same
- `Integer::quot_rem` -> `Integer::div_rem`
- `Integer::div` -> `Integer::div_floor`
- `Integer::modulo` -> `Integer::mod_floor`
- `Integer::div_mod` -> `Integer::div_mod_floor`
Adds two extra flags: `--linker` which takes extra flags to pass to the linker, can be used multiple times and `--print-link-args` which prints out linker arguments. Currently `--print-link-args` needs execution to get past translation to get the `LinkMeta` data.
I haven't done tests or updated any extra documentation yet, so this pull request is currently here for review.
