Title: Remove by val mode

This is done in two steps:

First, we make foreign functions not consider modes at all. This is because previously ++ mode was the only way to pass structs to foreign functions and so forth. We also add a lint mode warning if you use `&&` mode in a foreign function, since the semantics of that change (it used to pass a pointer to the C function, now it doesn't).

Then, we remove by value and make it equivalent to `+` mode. At the same time, we stop parsing `-` mode and convert all uses of it to `+` mode (it was already being parsed to `+` mode anyhow).

This obsoletes pull request #5298.
