Convert all uses of vec::slice to vec::view Issue #3869
Rename const_view to const_slice
Renamed mut_view to mut_slice
Fix windows build error. `buf` is borrowed by the call to
`as_mut_buf()` and so we must invoke `slice()` outside of that
call.
I removed the unused wrappers methods named `calloc` because they relied on the malloc wrapper having a `bool zero = true` default parameter (which resulted in some accidental zeroing). Perhaps wrapping the actual calloc function would be useful, but I don't know of an existing use case that could use it so I just removed these.
This gives an ~1% performance improvement for TreeMap, which does a lot of small allocations. Vectors use `realloc` which didn't zero before these changes so there's no measurable change in performance.
This patch finishes removing inner vector mutability from the vast majority of the compiler. Exceptions:
* core::dvec: ideally this entire type will be able to be replaced by `~[]`, but Niko asked me to hold off on removing Dvecs until he makes some fixes to borrowed pointers.
* liveness: liveness.rs is an impenetrable neutron star of deprecated semantics.
* compile-fail: I'm not sure if a lot of these tests are testing inner mutability or mutability in general. I figure that RIMOVing this folder should wait until this syntax is removed from the parser.
I also took this chance to remove many of the inner-mutability-related functions from core::vec, or as many uses of those functions as possible where still necessary. consume_mut and append_mut have been axed. cast_to_mut and cast_from_mut are still needed in a few places.

I added code to the JSON encoder to support the serialization of enums. Before this, the JSON serializer only handled Option, and encoded None as 'null'. Following this change, all enums are encoded as arrays containing the enum name followed by the encoded fields. This appears consistent with the unstated invariant that the resulting output can be mapped back to the input *if* there's a decoder around that knows the types that were in existence when the serialization occurred.
Also, added test cases.

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.
