This is a transitionary step towards completing #12517. This change modifies the
compiler to accept Partial{Ord,Eq} as deriving modes which will currently expand
to implementations of PartialOrd and PartialEq (synonyms for Eq/Ord).
After a snapshot, all of deriving(Eq, Ord) will be removed, and after a snapshot
of that, TotalEq/TotalOrd will be renamed to Eq/Ord.

The compiler was updated to recognize that implementations for ty_uniq(..) are
allowed if the Box lang item is located in the current crate. This enforces the
idea that libcore cannot allocated, and moves all related trait implementations
from libcore to libstd.
This is a breaking change in that the AnyOwnExt trait has moved from the any
module to the owned module. Any previous users of std::any::AnyOwnExt should now
use std::owned::AnyOwnExt instead. This was done because the trait is intended
for Box traits and only Box traits.

This commit removes the std::{managed, reference} modules. The modules serve
essentially no purpose, and the only free function removed was `managed::ptr_eq`
which can be achieved by comparing references.

This removes the TotalOrd and TotalEq implementation macros, they will be added
later to the numeric modules (where the other comparison implementations live).
signature. In a nutshell, the idea is to (1) report an error if, for
a region pointer `'a T`, the lifetime `'a` is longer than any
lifetimes that appear in `T` (in other words, if a borrowed pointer
outlives any portion of its contents) and then (2) use this to assume
that in a function like `fn(self: &'a &'b T)`, the relationship `'a <=
'b` holds. This is needed for #5656. Fixes#5728.
7.3x speedup in string map search speed on a microbenchmark of pure hashmap
searching against a constant string, due to the lack of allocations.
I ran into a few snags.
1. The way the coherence check is set up, I can't implement `Equiv<@str>` and
`Equiv<~str>` for `&str` simultaneously.
2. I wanted to implement `Equiv<T>` for all `T:Eq` (i.e. every type can be
compared to itself if it implements `Eq`), but the coherence check didn't
like that either.
3. I couldn't add this to the `Map` trait because `LinearMap` needs special
handling for its `Q` type parameter: it must not only implement `Equiv<T>`
but also `Hash` and `Eq`.
4. `find_equiv(&&"foo")` doesn't parse, because of the double ampersand. It has
to be written `find_equiv(& &"foo")`. We can probably just fix this.
Nevertheless, this is a huge win; it should address a major source of
performance problems, including the one here:

Also add comments reminding that IEEE 754 requires unusual semantics for
comparison operators as applied to NaNs (x != x, if x = NaN), in case someone
in the future wants to get clever.
