Deprecated communication between tasks

Communication between tasks is facilitated by ports (in the receiving
task), and channels (in the sending task). Any number of channels may
feed into a single port.  Ports and channels may only transmit values
of unique types; that is, values that are statically guaranteed to be
accessed by a single 'owner' at a time.  Unique types include scalars,
vectors, strings, and records, tags, tuples and unique boxes (`~T`)
thereof. Most notably, shared boxes (`@T`) may not be transmitted
across channels.

# Example

~~~
let po = comm::Port();
let ch = comm::Chan(po);

do task::spawn {
    comm::send(ch, "Hello, World");
}

io::println(comm::recv(p));
~~~

# Note

Use of this module is deprecated in favor of `core::pipes`. In the
`core::comm` will likely be rewritten with pipes, at which point it
will once again be the preferred module for intertask communication.
