Some code that abstracts away much of the boilerplate of writing
`deriving` instances for traits. Among other things it manages getting
access to the fields of the 4 different sorts of structs and enum
variants, as well as creating the method and impl ast instances.

Supported features (fairly exhaustive):
- Methods taking any number of parameters of any type, and returning
  any type, other than vectors, bottom and closures.
- Generating `impl`s for types with type parameters and lifetimes
  (e.g. `Option<T>`), the parameters are automatically given the
  current trait as a bound. (This includes separate type parameters
  and lifetimes for methods.)
- Additional bounds on the type parameters, e.g. the `Ord` instance
  requires an explicit `Eq` bound at the
  moment. (`TraitDef.additional_bounds`)

Unsupported: FIXME #6257: calling methods on reference fields,
e.g. deriving TotalEq/TotalOrd/Clone don't work on `struct A(&int)`,
because of how the auto-dereferencing happens.

The most important thing for implementers is the `Substructure` and
`SubstructureFields` objects. The latter groups 5 possibilities of the
arguments:

- `Struct`, when `Self` is a struct (including tuple structs, e.g
  `struct T(int, char)`).
- `EnumMatching`, when `Self` is an enum and all the arguments are the
  same variant of the enum (e.g. `Some(1)`, `Some(3)` and `Some(4)`)
- `EnumNonMatching` when `Self` is an enum and the arguments are not
  the same variant (e.g. `None`, `Some(1)` and `None`). If
  `const_nonmatching` is true, this will contain an empty list.
- `StaticEnum` and `StaticStruct` for static methods, where the type
  being derived upon is either an enum or struct respectively. (Any
  argument with type Self is just grouped among the non-self
  arguments.)

In the first two cases, the values from the corresponding fields in
all the arguments are grouped together. In the `EnumNonMatching` case
this isn't possible (different variants have different fields), so the
fields are grouped by which argument they come from. There are no
fields with values in the static cases, so these are treated entirely
differently.

The non-static cases have `Option<ident>` in several places associated
with field `expr`s. This represents the name of the field it is
associated with. It is only not `None` when the associated field has
an identifier in the source code. For example, the `x`s in the
following snippet

~~~
struct A { x : int }

struct B(int);

enum C {
    C0(int),
    C1 { x: int }
}
~~~

The `int`s in `B` and `C0` don't have an identifier, so the
`Option<ident>`s would be `None` for them.

In the static cases, the structure is summarised, either into the just
spans of the fields or a list of spans and the field idents (for tuple
structs and record structs, respectively), or a list of these, for
enums (one for each variant). For empty struct and empty enum
variants, it is represented as a count of 0.

# Examples

The following simplified `Eq` is used for in-code examples:

~~~
trait Eq {
    fn eq(&self, other: &Self);
}
impl Eq for int {
    fn eq(&self, other: &int) -> bool {
        *self == *other
    }
}
~~~

Some examples of the values of `SubstructureFields` follow, using the
above `Eq`, `A`, `B` and `C`.

## Structs

When generating the `expr` for the `A` impl, the `SubstructureFields` is

~~~
Struct(~[FieldInfo {
           span: <span of x>
           name: Some(<ident of x>),
           self_: <expr for &self.x>,
           other: ~[<expr for &other.x]
         }])
~~~

For the `B` impl, called with `B(a)` and `B(b)`,

~~~
Struct(~[FieldInfo {
          span: <span of `int`>,
          name: None,
          <expr for &a>
          ~[<expr for &b>]
         }])
~~~

## Enums

When generating the `expr` for a call with `self == C0(a)` and `other
== C0(b)`, the SubstructureFields is

~~~
EnumMatching(0, <ast::Variant for C0>,
             ~[FieldInfo {
                span: <span of int>
                name: None,
                self_: <expr for &a>,
                other: ~[<expr for &b>]
              }])
~~~

For `C1 {x}` and `C1 {x}`,

~~~
EnumMatching(1, <ast::Variant for C1>,
             ~[FieldInfo {
                span: <span of x>
                name: Some(<ident of x>),
                self_: <expr for &self.x>,
                other: ~[<expr for &other.x>]
               }])
~~~

For `C0(a)` and `C1 {x}` ,

~~~
EnumNonMatching(~[(0, <ast::Variant for B0>,
                   ~[(<span of int>, None, <expr for &a>)]),
                  (1, <ast::Variant for B1>,
                   ~[(<span of x>, Some(<ident of x>),
                      <expr for &other.x>)])])
~~~

(and vice versa, but with the order of the outermost list flipped.)

## Static

A static method on the above would result in,

~~~~
StaticStruct(<ast::StructDef of A>, Named(~[(<ident of x>, <span of x>)]))

StaticStruct(<ast::StructDef of B>, Unnamed(~[<span of x>]))

StaticEnum(<ast::EnumDef of C>, ~[(<ident of C0>, <span of C0>, Unnamed(~[<span of int>])),
                                  (<ident of C1>, <span of C1>,
                                   Named(~[(<ident of x>, <span of x>)]))])
~~~
