This pull request adds a first implementation of a distributed vector (hpx::vector). This is a segmented array, where the segments can live on different localities. It exposes a segmented iterator which is modelled after Matt Austern's classical paper (http://lafstern.org/matt/segmented.pdf). This pull request also adds integration of this data structure with hpx::parallel::for_each.

I would like to ask to merge this into the master branch so others can start using it. I believe hpx::vector will add a valuable higher level abstraction to HPX, but it definitely needs some iterations in terms of the exposed interface and implemented functionality.

Several people have contributed: @sharmaar12 who worked in the context of GSoC 2014 and @gbibek who added distribution policy in the context of his masters thesis.

… it was doing wrong math while distributing the vector
- iterators
- chunk client and stub
- added test
- lot's of cleanup
