6bfbad937b std: Add a new fs module
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 739][rfc] which adds a new `std::fs`
module to the standard library. This module provides much of the same
functionality as `std::old_io::fs` but it has many tweaked APIs as well as uses
the new `std::path` module.

5cf9905e25 std: Add io module again
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 576][rfc] which adds back the `std::io`
module to the standard library. No functionality in `std::old_io` has been
deprecated just yet, and the new `std::io` module is behind the same `io`
feature gate.

[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/576

A good bit of functionality was copied over from `std::old_io`, but many tweaks
were required for the new method signatures. Behavior such as precisely when
buffered objects call to the underlying object may have been tweaked slightly in
the transition. All implementations were audited to use composition wherever
possible. For example the custom `pos` and `cap` cursors in `BufReader` were
removed in favor of just using `Cursor<Vec<u8>>`.

A few liberties were taken during this implementation which were not explicitly
spelled out in the RFC:

* The old `LineBufferedWriter` is now named `LineWriter`
* The internal representation of `Error` now favors OS error codes (a
  0-allocation path) and contains a `Box` for extra semantic data.
* The io prelude currently reexports `Seek` as `NewSeek` to prevent conflicts
  with the real prelude reexport of `old_io::Seek`
* The `chars` method was moved from `BufReadExt` to `ReadExt`.
* The `chars` iterator returns a custom error with a variant that explains that
  the data was not valid UTF-8.
