auto merge of #6241 : thestinger/rust/rc, r=pcwalton
To provide a reference counted pointer type with deterministic
destruction once managed boxes are switched over to a garbage
collector. Unlike managed boxes, these can be moved instead of just
copied/cloned which is helpful for avoiding reference counts.
Needs #5601 to be fixed in order for safety to be provided without the current ugly workaround of making the pointers contain `Option<@()>` and `Option<@mut ()>` (which are just set to `None`).
