This commit makes `Cow` more usable by allowing it to be applied to
unsized types (as was intended) and providing some basic `ToOwned`
implementations on slice types. It also corrects the documentation for
`Cow` to no longer mention `DerefMut`, and adds an example.

This commit makes `Cow` more usable by allowing it to be applied to
unsized types (as was intended) and providing some basic `ToOwned`
implementations on slice types. It also corrects the documentation for
`Cow` to no longer mention `DerefMut`, and adds an example.
Following [the collections reform
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/235),
this commit adds a new `borrow` module to libcore.
The module contains traits for borrowing data (`BorrowFrom` and
`BorrowFromMut`),
generalized cloning (`ToOwned`), and a clone-on-write smartpointer (`Cow`).
