Sergio Benitez 9b955747e4 Remove config global state. Use Responder::respond_to.
This commit includes two major changes to core:

  1. Configuration state is no longer global. The `config::active()`
     function has been removed. The active configuration can be
     retrieved via the `config` method on a `Rocket` instance.

  2. The `Responder` trait has changed. `Responder::respond(self)` has
     been removed in favor of `Responder::respond_to(self, &Request)`.
     This allows responders to dynamically adjust their response based
     on the incoming request.

Additionally, it includes the following changes to core and codegen:

  * The `Request::guard` method was added to allow for simple
    retrivial of request guards.
  * The `Request::limits` method was added to retrieve configured
    limits.
  * The `File` `Responder` implementation now uses a fixed size body
    instead of a chunked body.
  * The `Outcome::of<R: Responder>(R)` method was removed while
    `Outcome::from<R: Responder(&Request, R)` was added.
  * The unmounted and unmanaged limits are more cautious: they will only
    emit warnings when the `Rocket` receiver is known.

This commit includes one major change to contrib:

  1. To use contrib's templating, the fairing returned by
     `Template::fairing()` must be attached to the running Rocket
     instance.

Additionally, the `Display` implementation of `Template` was removed. To
directly render a template to a `String`, the new `Template::show`
method can be used.

Sergio Benitez 44f5f1998d New HTTP types: ContentType, Status. Responder/Handler/ErrorHandler changed.
This is a complete rework of `Responder`s and of the http backend in
general. This gets Rocket one step closer to HTTP library independence,
enabling many future features such as transparent async I/O, automatic
HEAD request parsing, pre/post hooks, and more.

Summary of changes:

  * `Responder::response` no longer takes in `FreshHyperResponse`.
    Instead, it returns a new `Response` type.
  * The new `Response` type now encapsulates a full HTTP response. As a
    result, `Responder`s now return it.
  * The `Handler` type now returns an `Outcome` directly.
  * The `ErrorHandler` returns a `Result`. It can no longer forward,
    which made no sense previously.
  * `Stream` accepts a chunked size parameter.
  * `StatusCode` removed in favor of new `Status` type.
  * `ContentType` significantly modified.
  * New, lightweight `Header` type that plays nicely with `Response`.
