In preparation for removing the std::cmp::Ordering reexport, this needs
to be done to prevent errors like:
```
note: in expansion of #[deriving]
note: expansion site
error: unresolved name `std::cmp::Equal`
\#[deriving(Clone, PartialEq, PartialOrd, Eq, Ord, Show)]
^~~
```
This patch does not itself enable generalized where clauses, but it lays the groundwork. Rather than storing a list of bounds per type parameter, the trait selection and other logic is now driven by a unified list of predicates. All predicate handling is now driven through a common interface. This also fixes a number of bugs where region predicates were being dropped on the floor. As a drive-by, this patch also fixes some bugs in the opt-out-copy feature flag.
That said, this patch does not change the parser or AST in any way, so we still *generate* the list of predicates by walking a list of bounds (and we still *store* the bounds on the `TypeParameterDef` and so on). Those will get patched in a follow-up.
The commits in this case are standalone; the first few are simple refactorings.

in most cases, just the error message changed, but in some cases we
are reporting new errors that OUGHT to have been reported before but
we're overlooked (mostly involving the `'static` bound on `Send`).
These probably happened during the merge of the commit that made `Copy` opt-in.
Also, convert the last occurence of `/**` to `///` in `src/libstd/num/strconv.rs`
This is a first pass at insert on RingBuf. I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I'm not sure of the performance implications of doing one copy vs. copying multiple times but moving a smaller amount of memory. I chose to stick with one copy, even if the amount of memory I have to move is larger.
I believe this is part of #18424
@Gankro mentioned this was missing.
