introduce "uniform construction" syntax

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1356
Druntime
Initial work in pull request #617. Need to improve the API of the Library wrapper.
Phobos
Reduce dependency hell, split up huge modules to enable fine-grained imports.
More safety - @safe writeln ?
Split std.datetime so that it's a package rather than a module.
Rework std.variant's Algebraic (ADTs)
- add compile-time checking that all possible types are handled by user code
- allow recursive data types
Other
automate release builds
- Nick Sabalausky wrote a release tool.
- Brad Roberts added install targets to the makefiles (dmd, druntime and phobos).
- Nightly builds from the autotesters
- Reusing existing makefiles is preferred
- Package scripts must build from source (see Issue 10710)
- Dejan Lekic made a Fedora SPEC file
- Multi-arch cross-compiler should be optional (more dependencies/bigger size for rarely needed feature)
