Changes the int/uint modules to all use macros instead of using the `merge` attribute. It would be nice to have #4375 resolved as well for this, but that can probably come at a later date.
Closes#4219.
This adds a lint mode for detecting unnecessary allocations on the heap. This isn't super fancy, currently it only has two rules
1. For a function's arguments, if you allocate a `[~|@]str` literal, when the type of the argument is a `&str`, emit a warning.
2. For the same case, emit warnings for boxed vectors when slices are required.
After adding the lint, I rampaged through the libraries and removed all the unnecessary allocations I could find.
* Add ARC::get method and implements the function from it.
* Add an example showing a simple use of ARC.
Update PR #6622 to avoid git noise.
I will remove the function get later.
I don't have a strong opinion on the function vs. method, but there's no point in having both. I'd like to make a `repeat` adaptor like Python/Haskell for turning a value into an infinite stream of the value, so this has to at least be renamed.

This is all of my scheduler work on #4419 from the last 3 weeks or so. I've had a few failed pull requests so far but I think the problems are ironed out.
* TCP
* The beginnings of runtime embedding APIs
* Porting various corners of core to be compatible with both schedulers
* libuv timer bindings
* Further refinement of I/O error handling, including a new, incomplete, `read_error` condition
* Incomplete refactoring to make tasks work without coroutines and user-space scheduling
* Implementations of Reader/Writer extension methods
* Implementations of the most important part of core::comm
I'm particularly happy with how easy the [comm types on top of the scheduler](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io-upstream/src/libcore/rt/comm.rs). Note that these implementations do not use pipes. If anything here needs careful review though it's this code.
This branch passes 95% of the run-pass tests (with `TESTARGS=--newrt`)
In the next week I'll probably spend some time adding preliminary multithreading and seeing how close we are to removing the old runtime.
