std: Improve non-task-based usage
A few notable improvements were implemented to cut down on the number of aborts triggered by the standard library when a local task is not found. * Primarily, the unwinding functionality was restructured to support an unsafe top-level function, `try`. This function invokes a closure, capturing any failure which occurs inside of it. The purpose of this function is to be as lightweight of a "try block" as possible for rust, intended for use when the runtime is difficult to set up. This function is *not* meant to be used by normal rust code, nor should it be consider for use with normal rust code. * When invoking spawn(), a `fail!()` is triggered rather than an abort. * When invoking LocalIo::borrow(), which is transitively called by all I/O constructors, None is returned rather than aborting to indicate that there is no local I/O implementation. * Invoking get() on a TLD key will return None if no task is available * Invoking replace() on a TLD key will fail if no task is available. A test case was also added showing the variety of things that you can do without a runtime or task set up now. In general, this is just a refactoring to abort less quickly in the standard library when a local task is not found.
