values to be copied. Rewrite kind computation so that instead of directly
computing the kind it computes what kinds of values are present in the type,
and then derive kinds based on that. I find this easier to think about.
Fixes#4821.

Also fixed all conflicting calls of the old functions in the rest of the codebase.
The set of string conversion functions for each float type now consists of those items:
- to_str(), converts to number in base 10
- to_str_hex(), converts to number in base 16
- to_str_radix(), converts to number in given radix
- to_str_exact(), converts to number in base 10 with a exact number of trailing digits
- to_str_digits(), converts to number in base 10 with a maximum number of trailing digits
- implementations for to_str::ToStr and num::ToStrRadix
- from_str(), parses a string as number in base 10 including decimal exponent and special values
- from_str_hex(), parses a string as a number in base 16 including binary exponent and special values
- from_str_radix(), parses a string as a number in a given base excluding any exponent and special values
- implementations for from_str::FromStr and num::FromStrRadix
"Dual impls" are impls that are both type implementations and trait
implementations. They can lead to ambiguity and so this patch removes them
from the language.
This also enforces coherence rules. Without this patch, records can implement
traits not defined in the current crate. This patch fixes this, and updates
all of rustc to adhere to the new enforcement. Most of this patch is fixing
rustc to obey the coherence rules, which involves converting a bunch of records
to structs.
emit_struct and read_struct takes an additional len:uint parameter which tells
us how many fields the struct we are working on has.
This is required to implement an Encoder for the msgpack [1] serialization
format. To serialize a struct with msgpack you have to use arrays and the size
of the array has to be know before each of the elements are written out. JSON
as an example doesn't have this problem as it uses '[' and ']' delimiters for
arrays.
