Commits for details. Highlights:
- `flate` returns `CVec<u8>` to save reallocating a whole new `&[u8]`
- a lot of `transmute`s removed outright or replaced with `as` (etc.)
The std::run module is a relic from a standard library long since past, and
there's not much use to having two modules to execute processes with where one
is slightly more convenient. This commit merges the two modules, moving lots of
functionality from std::run into std::io::process and then deleting
std::run.
New things you can find in std::io::process are:
* Process::new() now only takes prog/args
* Process::configure() takes a ProcessConfig
* Process::status() is the same as run::process_status
* Process::output() is the same as run::process_output
* I/O for spawned tasks is now defaulted to captured in pipes instead of ignored
* Process::kill() was added (plus an associated green/native implementation)
* Process::wait_with_output() is the same as the old finish_with_output()
* destroy() is now signal_exit()
* force_destroy() is now signal_kill()

With the stability attributes we can put public-but unstable modules next to others, so this moves `intrinsics` and `raw` out of the `unstable` module (and marks both as `#[experimental]`).
These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.

This "bubble up an error" macro was originally named if_ok! in order to get it
landed, but after the fact it was discovered that this name is not exactly
desirable.
The name `if_ok!` isn't immediately clear that is has much to do with error
handling, and it doesn't look fantastic in all contexts (if if_ok!(...) {}). In
general, the agreed opinion about `if_ok!` is that is came in as subpar.
The name `try!` is more invocative of error handling, it's shorter by 2 letters,
and it looks fitting in almost all circumstances. One concern about the word
`try!` is that it's too invocative of exceptions, but the belief is that this
will be overcome with documentation and examples.

Iterators! Use them (in `is_utf16`), create them (in `utf16_items`).
Handle errors gracefully (`from_utf16_lossy`) and `from_utf16` returning `Option<~str>` instead of failing.
Add a pile of tests.
Many of the functions interacting with Windows APIs allocate a vector of
0's and do not retrieve a length directly from the API call, and so need
to be sure to remove the unmodified junk at the end of the vector.
There's a few parts to this PR
* Implement unix pipes in libnative for unix platforms (thanks @Geal!)
* Implement named pipes in libnative for windows (terrible, terrible code)
* Remove `#[cfg(unix)]` from `mod unix` in `std::io::net`. This is a terrible name for what it is, but that's the topic of #12093.
The windows implementation was significantly more complicated than I thought it would be, but it seems to be passing all the tests. now.

Tweak TaskBuilder to be more builder-like. `.name()` is now `.named()` and
`.add_wrapper()` is now `.with_wrapper()`. Remove `.watched()` and
`.unwatched()` as they didn't actually do anything.
Closes#6399.

- adds a `LockGuard` type returned by `.lock` and `.trylock` that unlocks the mutex in the destructor
- renames `mutex::Mutex` to `StaticNativeMutex`
- adds a `NativeMutex` type with a destructor
- removes `LittleLock`
- adds `#[must_use]` to `sync::mutex::Guard` to remind people to use it
Instead, use an enum to allow running both a procedure and sending the task
result over a channel. I expect the common case to be sending on a channel (e.g.
task::try), so don't require an extra allocation in the common case.

This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind
channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction
between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite
dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels.
This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd
like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one
channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port.
This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the
hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also
reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan
in an API.
My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels
today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a
pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine
that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference
counting).
This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of
messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port
and the Chan disappear.
Declare a `type SendStr = MaybeOwned<'static>` to ease readibility of
types that needed the old SendStr behavior.
Implement all the traits for MaybeOwned that SendStr used to implement.
This is part of the overall strategy I would like to take when approaching
issue #11165. The only two I/O objects that reasonably want to be "split" are
the network stream objects. Everything else can be "split" by just creating
another version.
The initial idea I had was the literally split the object into a reader and a
writer half, but that would just introduce lots of clutter with extra interfaces
that were a little unnnecssary, or it would return a ~Reader and a ~Writer which
means you couldn't access things like the remote peer name or local socket name.
The solution I found to be nicer was to just clone the stream itself. The clone
is just a clone of the handle, nothing fancy going on at the kernel level.
Conceptually I found this very easy to wrap my head around (everything else
supports clone()), and it solved the "split" problem at the same time.
The cloning support is pretty specific per platform/lib combination:
* native/win32 - uses some specific WSA apis to clone the SOCKET handle
* native/unix - uses dup() to get another file descriptor
* green/all - This is where things get interesting. When we support full clones
of a handle, this implies that we're allowing simultaneous writes
and reads to happen. It turns out that libuv doesn't support two
simultaneous reads or writes of the same object. It does support
*one* read and *one* write at the same time, however. Some extra
infrastructure was added to just block concurrent writers/readers
until the previous read/write operation was completed.
I've added tests to the tcp/unix modules to make sure that this functionality is
supported everywhere.
Make the definition of epoll_event use natural alignment on all
architectures except x86_64.
Before this commit, the struct was always 12 bytes big, which works okay
on x86 and x86_64 but not on ARM and MIPS, where it should be 16 bytes
big with the `data` field aligned on an 8 byte boundary.
`Times::times` was always a second-class loop because it did not support the `break` and `continue` operations. Its playful appeal was then lost after `do` was disabled for closures. It's time to let this one go.
The general consensus is that we want to move away from conditions for I/O, and I propose a two-step plan for doing so:
1. Warn about unused `Result` types. When all of I/O returns `Result`, it will require you inspect the return value for an error *only if* you have a result you want to look at. By default, for things like `write` returning `Result<(), Error>`, these will all go silently ignored. This lint will prevent blind ignorance of these return values, letting you know that there's something you should do about them.
2. Implement a `try!` macro:
```
macro_rules! try( ($e:expr) => (match $e { Ok(e) => e, Err(e) => return Err(e) }) )
```
With these two tools combined, I feel that we get almost all the benefits of conditions. The first step (the lint) is a sanity check that you're not ignoring return values at callsites. The second step is to provide a convenience method of returning early out of a sequence of computations. After thinking about this for awhile, I don't think that we need the so-called "do-notation" in the compiler itself because I think it's just *too* specialized. Additionally, the `try!` macro is super lightweight, easy to understand, and works almost everywhere. As soon as you want to do something more fancy, my answer is "use match".
Basically, with these two tools in action, I would be comfortable removing conditions. What do others think about this strategy?

This PR specifically implements the `unused_result` lint. I actually added two lints, `unused_result` and `unused_must_use`, and the first commit has the rationale for why `unused_result` is turned off by default.
