Support dereference operator overloading
This adds in support for deref lang-item operator overloads. Deref operator overloading is an interesting case of the libcore interaction with the compiler. The deref operator lang item is: ```rust pub trait Deref { type Target; fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target; } ``` It has two default impl's one for '&T' and '&mut T' to apply genericly. The reason it is interesting is from the prototype the deref lang item always returns &Self::Target in all cases regardless of mutability, the lang item here is designed to wrap up any dereference such that when applied it guarentees the type system you will get back an immutable reference to something. The reason for doing this is more clear when thinking about autoderef and method-resolution and how you apply dereference operations to custom types and a test case is included for that. The autoderef mechanism will now need to be updated to support drefs fully. Fixes #809
