Tim Chevalier 8fc60af441 Remove by-copy mode from std, mostly
One instance remains in net_tcp due to a foreign fn. Lots of
instances remain in serialization.rs, but IIRC that is being removed.

I had to do unholy things to task-perf-word-count-generic to get it
to compile after demoding pipes. I may well have messed up its
performance, but it passes.

/*!
* Library to interface with chunks of memory allocated in C.
*
* It is often desirable to safely interface with memory allocated from C,
* encapsulating the unsafety into allocation and destruction time. Indeed,
* allocating memory externally is currently the only way to give Rust shared
* mut state with C programs that keep their own references; vectors are
* unsuitable because they could be reallocated or moved at any time, and
* importing C memory into a vector takes a one-time snapshot of the memory.
*
* This module simplifies the usage of such external blocks of memory. Memory
* is encapsulated into an opaque object after creation; the lifecycle of the
* memory can be optionally managed by Rust, if an appropriate destructor
* closure is provided. Safety is ensured by bounds-checking accesses, which
* are marshalled through get and set functions.
*
* There are three unsafe functions: the two introduction forms, and the
* pointer elimination form. The introduction forms are unsafe for the
* obvious reason (they act on a pointer that cannot be checked inside the
* method), but the elimination form is somewhat more subtle in its unsafety.
* By using a pointer taken from a c_vec::t without keeping a reference to the
* c_vec::t itself around, the CVec could be garbage collected, and the
* memory within could be destroyed. There are legitimate uses for the
* pointer elimination form -- for instance, to pass memory back into C -- but
* great care must be taken to ensure that a reference to the c_vec::t is
* still held if needed.
