Never copy strings to remote locales unless passed by reference.

This commit fixes the unexpected behavior where strings are copied to
remote locales if the .locale field is accessed.  Long term the one
line fix in insertWideReferences.cpp will go away, but I wanted to use
this as an experiment to see how difficult it would be to use the
NewString module from an internal module.  The MemoryTracking module
abused the unexpected behavior of string, and so with this commit I
use the NewString type in MemoryTracking.

With this change, the only remaining instances of when we copy strings
to remote locales is when the string is passed by reference.  When the
new string implementation is made the default, this too should go away
(handled in codegen), and the runtime function
chpl_gen_comm_wide_string_get() should be removed.

This commit also changes some test output to include the NewString
module.  For test/multilocale/bradc/globalConstRepl.chpl, this
unexpected string behavior was masking an actual bug, so that test was
split into two.  The original test removed the string case (so as to
continue testing the rest), and the string case is now a future in
stringConstRepl.chpl.

A draft proposal for a new Special Functions chapter.



Initial draft. Feedback welcome.

I wanted to collect descriptions of compiler-generated functions in one place for easy reference, but some of this material is redundant with material already present in various places in the spec. So one way to integrate this with the spec would be to turn it into an appendix with cross-references, and then ensure that all of the important content was integrated (duplicated) in the body of the spec.
