Task local data management

Allows storing arbitrary types inside task-local-storage (TLS), to be accessed
anywhere within a task, keyed by a global pointer parameterized over the type of
the TLS slot.  Useful for dynamic variables, singletons, and interfacing with
foreign code with bad callback interfaces.

To declare a new key for storing local data of a particular type, use the
`local_data_key!` macro. This macro will expand to a `static` item apppriately
named and annotated. This name is then passed to the functions in this module to
modify/read the slot specified by the key.

```rust
use std::local_data;

local_data_key!(key_int: int)
local_data_key!(key_vector: ~[int])

local_data::set(key_int, 3);
local_data::get(key_int, |opt| assert_eq!(opt, Some(&3)));

local_data::set(key_vector, ~[4]);
local_data::get(key_vector, |opt| assert_eq!(opt, Some(&~[4])));
 ```

// The task-local-map stores all TLS information for the currently running task.
// It is stored as an owned pointer into the runtime, and it's only allocated
// when TLS is used for the first time. This map must be very carefully
// constructed because it has many mutable loans unsoundly handed out on it to
// the various invocations of TLS requests.
//
// One of the most important operations is loaning a value via `get` to a
// caller. In doing so, the slot that the TLS entry is occupying cannot be
// invalidated because upon returning its loan state must be updated. Currently
// the TLS map is a vector, but this is possibly dangerous because the vector
// can be reallocated/moved when new values are pushed onto it.
//
// This problem currently isn't solved in a very elegant way. Inside the `get`
// function, it internally "invalidates" all references after the loan is
// finished and looks up into the vector again. In theory this will prevent
// pointers from being moved under our feet so long as LLVM doesn't go too crazy
// with the optimizations.

// n.b. If TLS is used heavily in future, this could be made more efficient with
