Simplify the common pattern `(cast(T*)GC.malloc(T.sizeof * n, NO_SCAN))[0 .. n]` to the new function `uninitializedArray!(T[])(n)`.
Note that there was some `NO_SCAN` attributes originally determined at runtime using `typeid()`, but now is determined statically using `hasIndirection!()` from the implementation of `uninitializedArray`.
There were also some `GC.malloc` usage looks like `uninitializedArray` in `std.parallelism` but I'm leaving it alone for someone who is more familiar with this module ;).
1. Remove conversion feature using member template function to!T() of user type.
2-1. Support conversion feature using opCast!T() with aggregate types.
2-2. Support conversion feature using constructor like T(s) with struct types.
The two templates has same purpose, but bit different behaviors.
implicitlyConverts(S, T) has following semantics:
is(S : T) and allow initializer conversion (T t = s; -> T t = T(s);)
Including initializer conversion is inconvenience for my to!() improvement in after commits, so replace it.
isWhite, isLower, isUpper, toLower, and toUpper now have Ascii in their
name, which matches what std.unit does with its versions of those
functions. Hopefully, it should also reduce bugs due to using the wrong
function between the ASCII and unicode versions by making the difference
more obvious.
There was no consenus in the newsgroup about what to do about renaming
toStringz to be properly camelcased. It was pretty much divided between
renaming it to toCString and leaving it exactly as-is. No one wanted it
to be toStringZ. So, given the lack of consensus, I'm just going to
leave it as toStringz.
I also replaced the std.string constants which have the same name as the
their std.ctype counterparts so that code doesn't break which imports
both std.string and std.ctype.
* Made emplace faster and replaced calls to it to also make them faster.
* Replaced phobos.d in posix.mak with index.d.
* Added version=StdDdoc to documentation build in posix.mak, and replaced uses of D_Ddoc with it.
* Improved documentation target in posix.mak (target dir automatically created).
* Added nice documentation table and cheat sheet at the top of std.algorithm.
* Replaced a few helper structs in std.range and std.algorithm with local structs, which simplify matters a fair amount.
* Added more constraints to functions in std.algorithm (still work in progress).
* Improved error message in std.algorithm.sort in case of failure to sort.
* std.random.dice(1, 10) now works (no need for array notation std.random.dice([1, 10])).
* Fixed documentation bugs and insufficiencies in std.range (still more to do).
* Improved speed of walkLength.
* Simplified retro.
* Simplified and optimized stride. Also folded stride(stride(r, a), b) into stride(r, a * b).
* Added roundRobin to std.range, which as a perk simplified radial.
* Added takeOne and takeNone to std.range.
* Added unsigned to std.traits.

to!ubyte(255.0+0.5) overflows. This change applies std.math.round() to the argument to prevent the overflow, and makes roundTo() behave like std.math.lround().
I left to!ubyte(255.5), to!ubyte(255.1) etc. throwing.
