In commit d7f5e43 "core::rt: Add the local heap to newsched tasks",
local_malloc and local_free have become rather big and their forced
inlining causes quite a bit of code bloat. Compile times for crates
affected by the bloat (e.g. rustc) improve, while others (e.g. libstd)
seem to be unaffected, so I guess the inlining doesn't gain us much.
Sizes:
```
| librustc | libsytax
---------------|–-----------|------------
with inlining | 18,547,824 | 7,110,848
w/o inlining | 15,092,040 | 5,518,608

I just had `git apply` fix most of them and then did a quick skim over the diff to fix a few cases where it did the wrong thing (mostly replacing tabs with 4 spaces, when someone's editor had them at 8 spaces).
In rustpkg, pass around sysroot; in rustpkg tests, set the sysroot
manually so that tests can find libcore and such.
With bonus metadata::filesearch refactoring to avoid copies.
The install command should work now, though it only installs
in-place (anything else has to wait until I implement RUST_PATH).
Also including:
core: Add remove_directory_recursive, change copy_file
Make copy_file preserve permissions, and add a remove_directory_recursive
function.

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
Even more of `core::run` could be rust-ified -- I believe that access to the C extern environ can be done with rust now. I did not do this because some special casing is needed for OSX and I don't have a mac I can test with.
I think this will also fix#6096.
Recent demoding makes the visitor glue leak. It hasn't shown up in tests
because the box annihilator deletes the leaked boxes. This affects the
new scheduler though which does not yet have a box annihilator.
I don't think there's any great way to test this besides setting up
a task that doesn't run the box annihilator and I don't know that that's
a capability we want tasks to have.
Lots of linking arguments need to be passed as -Wl,--foo so giving the
comma meaning at the rustc layer makes those flags impossible to pass.
Multiple arguments can now be passed from a shell by quoting the
argument: --link-args='-lfoo -Wl,--as-needed'.
I don't know how one would write a separate test for this sort of thing. Building the compiler, and `make check` worked, which should mean I didn't screw anything.
