Moves all the remaining functions that could reasonably be methods to be methods, except for some FFI ones (which I believe @erickt is working on, possibly) and `each_split_within`, since I'm not really sure the details of it (I believe @kimundi wrote the current implementation, so maybe he could convert it to an external iterator method on `StrSlice`, e.g. `word_wrap_iter(&self) -> WordWrapIterator<'self>`, where `WordWrapIterator` impls `Iterator<&'self str>`. It probably won't be too hard, since it's already a state machine.)
This also cleans up the comparison impls for the string types, except I'm not sure how the lang items `eq_str` and `eq_str_uniq` need to be handled, so they (`eq_slice` and `eq`) remain stand-alone functions.
This moves them all into the traits submodule, and delegates Ord
to the TotalOrd instance. It also deletes the stand-alone lt, gt,
ge and le functions.
This is caused by StrVector having a generic implementation for &[S]
and so #5898 means that method resolution of ~[~[1]].concat() sees that
both StrVector and VectorVector have methods that (superficially) match.
They are now connect_vec and concat_vec, which means that they can actually be
called.

links to issues: #7065 the race that's fixed; #7066 the perf improvement I added. There are also some minor cleanup commits here.
To measure the performance improvement from replacing the exclusive with an atomic uint, I edited the ```msgsend-ring-rw-arcs``` bench test to do a ```write_downgrade``` instead of just a ```write```, so that it stressed the code paths that accessed ```read_count```. (At first I was still using ```write``` and saw no performance difference whatsoever, whoooops.)
The bench test measures how long it takes to send 1,000,000 messages by using rwarcs to emulate pipes. I also measured the performance difference imposed by the fix to the ```access_lock``` race (which involves taking an extra semaphore in the ```cond.wait()``` path). The net result is that fixing the race imposes a 4% to 5% slowdown, but doing the atomic uint optimization gives a 6% to 8% speedup.
Note that this speedup will be most visible in read- or downgrade-heavy workloads. If an RWARC's only users are writers, the optimization doesn't matter. All the same, I think this more than justifies the extra complexity I mentioned in #7066.
The raw numbers are:
```
with xadd read count
before write_cond fix
4.18 to 4.26 us/message
with write_cond fix
4.35 to 4.39 us/message
with exclusive read count
before write_cond fix
4.41 to 4.47 us/message
with write_cond fix
4.65 to 4.76 us/message
```
The code compiles and runs under windows now, but I couldn't look up any
symbol from the current executable (dlopen(NULL)), and calling looked
up external function handles doesn't seem to work correctly under windows.
This is caused by StrVector having a generic implementation for &[S]
and so #5898 means that method resolution of ~[~[1]].concat() sees that
both StrVector and VectorVector have methods that (superficially) match.

This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.

I would appreciate if someone could help out with the Windows code on this pull request. I tried to test it using WINE but I couldn't figure out a way to set that up.
