enable env CHPL_FAST_FLAG as alternative to --fast
Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into env-for-fast-2
CHPL_FAST_FLAG -> CHPL_FAST
Added a check to Expr::verify()
Two tweaks to fix wide string copy errors exposed by dlmalloc.

Handling of the distinguished value for an empty c_string_copy was not fully implemented
in the remote string routines.  Wide strings should report a length of zero if the string

Adding an note to the CONTRIBUTORS file for mis-attributed author commits

Due to the author mis-namings that stemmed from the conversion from
SVN/SourceForge to Git/GitHub, this commit flags those contributors
who were mis-named during the conversion process in order to set
the record straight where we give credit to past contributors.
