Union Types

This is the starting implementation of Union Types as proposed in #805. It includes all parts of the core proposal, but not the "Possible Next Steps" (yet). The implementation reflects the decisions we made in the 10/3 design meeting.

@RyanCavanaugh The pull request doesn't yet include new test baselines (and thus the Travis build will appear to fail). The deltas all look good, but a number of tests are now incorrect and need to be modified. I'm wondering if I can get you to help out with that.
@drubino you mean like in #957? :smiley: 

This is a relatively old conversation at this point - you'll find quite a bit has happened recently with respect to union types, such as #914.
