Also move prelude explanation to the prelude module.
This tries to provide a guide to what's in the standard library, organized bottom up from primitives to I/O.
Move the rounding functions into the `std::num::Float` trait and then remove `std::num::Round`.
This continues the flattening of the numeric traits tracked in #10387. The aim is to make `std::num` very simple and tied to the built in types, leaving the definition of more complex numeric towers to third-party libraries.

This removes all resizability support for ~[T] vectors in preparation of DST.
The only growable vector remaining is Vec<T>. In summary, the following methods
from ~[T] and various functions were removed. Each method/function has an
equivalent on the Vec type in std::vec unless otherwise stated.
* slice::OwnedCloneableVector
* slice::OwnedEqVector
* slice::append
* slice::append_one
* slice::build (no replacement)
* slice::bytes::push_bytes
* slice::from_elem
* slice::from_fn
* slice::with_capacity
* ~[T].capacity()
* ~[T].clear()
* ~[T].dedup()
* ~[T].extend()
* ~[T].grow()
* ~[T].grow_fn()
* ~[T].grow_set()
* ~[T].insert()
* ~[T].pop()
* ~[T].push()
* ~[T].push_all()
* ~[T].push_all_move()
* ~[T].remove()
* ~[T].reserve()
* ~[T].reserve_additional()
* ~[T].reserve_exect()
* ~[T].retain()
* ~[T].set_len()
* ~[T].shift()
* ~[T].shrink_to_fit()
* ~[T].swap_remove()
* ~[T].truncate()
* ~[T].unshift()
* ~str.clear()
* ~str.set_len()
* ~str.truncate()
Note that no other API changes were made. Existing apis that took or returned
~[T] continue to do so.

Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that
can be safely copied. However, this term is not consistent with the
other built-in bounds that use verbs instead. This patch renames the Pod
kind into Copy.

This commit contains an implementation of synchronous, bounded channels for
Rust. This is an implementation of the proposal made last January [1]. These
channels are built on mutexes, and currently focus on a working implementation
rather than speed. Receivers for sync channels have select() implemented for
them, but there is currently no implementation of select() for sync senders.
Rust will continue to provide both synchronous and asynchronous channels as part
of the standard distribution, there is no intent to remove asynchronous
channels. This flavor of channels is meant to provide an alternative to
asynchronous channels because like green tasks, asynchronous channels are not
appropriate for all situations.

- Added `TraitObject` representation to `std::raw`.
- Added doc to `std::raw`.
- Removed `Any::as_void_ptr()` and `Any::as_mut_void_ptr()`
methods as they are uneccessary now after the removal of
headers on owned boxes. This reduces the number of virtual calls needed.
- Made the `..Ext` implementations work directly with the repr of
a trait object.
- Removed `Any`-related traits from the prelude.
- Added bench for `Any`
This patch merges IterBytes and Hash traits, which clears up the
confusion of using `#[deriving(IterBytes)]` to support hashing.
Instead, it now is much easier to use the new `#[deriving(Hash)]`
for making a type hashable with a stream hash.
Furthermore, it supports custom non-stream-based hashers, such as
if a value's hash was cached in a database.
This does not yet replace the old IterBytes-hash with this new
version.
The comments say that the prelude imports std::io::println since it would
be annoying to have to import it in every program that uses it. However,
the prelude doesn't actually import that function anymore. So, update the
comments to better match reality.
This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind
channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction
between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite
dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels.
This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd
like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one
channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port.
This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the
hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also
reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan
in an API.
My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels
today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a
pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine
that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference
counting).
This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of
messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port
and the Chan disappear.
Declare a `type SendStr = MaybeOwned<'static>` to ease readibility of
types that needed the old SendStr behavior.
Implement all the traits for MaybeOwned that SendStr used to implement.
`Times::times` was always a second-class loop because it did not support the `break` and `continue` operations. Its playful appeal (which I liked) was then lost after `do` was disabled for closures. It's time to let this one go.

The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.
The methods contained in `std::num::{Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential, Hyperbolic}` have now been moved into `std::num::Real`. This is part of an ongoing effort to simplify `std::num` (see issue #10387).
`std::num::RealExt` has also been removed from the prelude because it is not a commonly used trait.

This commit uniforms the short title of modules provided by libstd,
in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.
