Merge portable-simd#195 - portable-simd:trait-ops
Generic `core::ops` for `Simd<T, _>`

In order to maintain type soundness, we need to be sure we only implement an operation for `Simd<T, _> where T: SimdElement`... and also valid for that operation in general. While we could do this purely parametrically, it is more sound to implement the operators directly for the base scalar type arguments and then use type parameters to extend the operators to the "higher order" operations.

This implements that strategy and cleans up `simd::ops` into a few submodules:
- assign.rs: `core::ops::*Assign`
- deref.rs:  `core::ops` impls which "deref" borrowed versions of the arguments
- unary.rs: encloses the logic for unary operators on `Simd`, as unary ops are much simpler

This is possible since everything need not be nested in a single maze of macros anymore. The result simplifies the logic and allows reasoning about what operators are valid based on the expressed trait bounds, and also reduces the size of the trait implementation output in rustdoc, for a huge win of 4 MB off the size of `struct.Simd.html`! This addresses a common user complaint, as the original was over 5.5 MB and capable of crashing browsers!

This also carries a fix for a type-inference-related breakage, by removing the autosplatting (vector + scalar binop) impls, as unfortunately the presence of autosplatting was capable of busting type inference. We will likely need to see results from a Crater run before we can understand how to re-land autosplatting.
