core: Remove generics from Option::expect

The prospects of a generic failure function such as this existing in libcore are
bleak, due to monomorphization not working across the crate boundary, and
allocation into a ~Any is not allowed in libcore.

The argument to expect() is now &str instead of <M: Send + Any>
