std: Remove msvc/valgrind headers
These aren't really used for anything any more, so there doesn't seem to be much
reason to leave them around in the `rt` directory. There was some limiting of
threads spawned or tests when run under valgrind, but very little is run under
valgrind nowadays so there's also no real use keeping these around.

-	/* This is a fusion of Igor Chesnokov's method (http://rsdn.ru/forum/src/1094305.aspx)
-	and Steven Watanabe's method (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/12/115006.php)
-
-	How it works:
-	C++ allows template type inference for templated function parameters but nothing else.
-	What we do is to pass the expression sent to typeof() into the templated function vartypeID()
-	as its parameter, thus extracting its type. The big problem traditionally now is how to get
-	that type out of the vartypeID() instance, and here's how we do it:
-		1. unique_type_id() returns a monotonically increasing integer for every unique type
-		   passed to it during this compilation unit. It also specialises an instance of
-		   msvc_extract_type<unique_type_id, type>::id2type_impl<true>.
-		2. vartypeID() returns a sized<unique_type_id> for the type where
-		   sizeof(sized<unique_type_id>)==unique_type_id. We vector through sized as a means
-		   of returning the unique_type_id at compile time rather than runtime.
-		3. msvc_extract_type<unique_type_id> then extracts the type by using a bug in MSVC to
-		   reselect the specialised child type (id2type_impl<true>) from within the specialisation
-		   of itself originally performed by the above instance of unique_type_id. This bug works
-		   because when MSVC calculated the signature of the specialised
-		   msvc_extract_type<unique_type_id, type>::id2type_impl<true>, it does not include the
-		   value of type in the signature of id2type_impl<true>. Therefore when we reselect
-		   msvc_extract_type<unique_type_id>::id2type_impl<true> it erroneously returns the one
-		   already in its list of instantiated types rather than correctly generating a newly
-		   specialised msvc_extract_type<unique_type_id, msvc_extract_type_default_param>::id2type_impl<true>
-
-	This bug allows the impossible and gives us a working typeof() in MSVC. Hopefully Microsoft
-	won't fix this bug until they implement a native typeof.
