green: remove ancient register-saving code.

@alexcrichton said he thought this was useless (and it's old logic: it's
been there since before the runtime was written into Rust).
flate: return CVec<u8> rather than copying into a new vector.

This trades an O(n) allocation + memcpy for a O(1) proc allocation (for
the destructor). Most users only need &[u8] anyway (all of the users in
the main repo), and so this offers large gains.
green,native,rustuv: Replace many pointer `transmute`'s with `as` or referencing.

These can all be written in a more controlled manner than with the
transmute hammer, leading to (hopefully) safer code.
native: be more const correct with the FFI calls.

These calls are mutating their argument and so it's bad behaviour to be
pretending that the values are immutable to rustc.
arena,std,serialize: remove some unnecessary transmutes.

`as`-able transmutes, duplication and manual slice decomposition are
silly.
Remove all ToStr impls, add Show impls

This commit changes the ToStr trait to:

    impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
        fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
    }

The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.

Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

Roll std::run into std::io::process

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()

Remove deriving(ToStr)

This has been superseded by deriving(Show).

cc #9806
auto merge of #12412 : alexcrichton/rust/deriving-show, r=huonw

This commit removes deriving(ToStr) in favor of deriving(Show), migrating all impls of ToStr to fmt::Show.

Most of the details can be found in the first commit message.

Correctly ignore some tests on windows

These two tests are notoriously flaky on the windows bots right now, so I'm
ignoring them until I can investigate them some more. The truncate_works test
has been flaky for quite some time, but it has gotten much worse recently. The
test_exists test has been flaky since the recent std::run rewrite landed.
Finally, the "unix pipe" test failure is a recent discovery on the try bots. I
haven't seen this failing much, but better safe than sorry!

windows: Fix the test_exists unit test

Turns out the `timeout` command was exiting immediately because it didn't like
its output piped. Instead use `ping` repeatedly to get a process that will sleep
for awhile.

auto merge of #12445 : huonw/rust/less-unsafe, r=alexcrichton

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.)
Remove check-fast. Closes #4193, #8844, #6330, #7416
