Add a facility to automatically create backtraces for exceptions
Obtaining a backtrace in the catch block won't show where the exception
happened. Hooking into the exception handler internals is necessary.
Because this is somewhat disruptive to the language runtime, it is an
optional feature and disabled by default.

Fix formatted output operator detection in lexicalcast.h
Since it was using a default-constructed value as part of the test
expression, it would fail to detect the operator for classes that are
not default-constructable.

Add a main() function for Windows
Console applications (at least those compiled with MinGW) use it as the
entry point. MinGW has a support library to use WinMain as entry point,
but that requires a hack in builder that causes trouble with applications
that have a main() of their own.

Chdir into a sensible location before starting the application
System location accessors will ultimately return this directory. The
default is /, which can easily cause problems. In particular, many of
my applications expect to have their data in get_sys_data_dir()/"data".
On Android /data exists but is not readable.

Deprecate the system directory accessors that take arguments
They are fundamentally broken due to their dependence on cwd and $PATH,
which may be changed after application startup. Now that Application
stores an absolute argv0, the argument-less versions can provide a more
consistent answer.
Implementations for the functions are still the same, as they behave
correctly when an absolute argv0 is passed in. At some point in the
future I'll remove the old versions completely.

Store absolute path to argv[0] in Application
Working directory or $PATH may be changed by the program, so it may not
be possible to recover the executable later. It's still not completely
reliable since the parent process can pass any value for argv[0] through
execve().

Allow startup info to be set externally
... but only if startup didn't happen through Application::run(). Certain
facilities, like Graphics::Display on Windows, require startup info to be
set and would not work without this in a custom startup scenario.

Expose the asset manager from Android::MainThread
AFAICT the asset manager is tied to the application and not the activity,
so this simple approach should be safe even if the activity gets destroyed
and recreated due to orientation change or whatever.

Synchronize access to the underlying object of Slice
This was prompted by the interactions between GL::ResourceManager and
some upcoming changes to DataFile::PackSource. If a new Slice object is
created and tries to connect to signal_flush_required at the exact moment
another Slice is seeking and causing the signal to be emitted, the emit
and connect calls step on each others' toes and corrupt the heap.

Add window and input management signals for Android
The onCreate handler will now wait until either the main Application
object is constructed or the MainThread's resume_startup function is
called. This ensures that the application (or a library such as mspgui)
can connect to the signals before they are emitted.

Use direct constant values for non-POSIX baud rates

Change get_bin_dir logic to assume exe in cwd if not otherwise found
Windows has an implicit . component in $PATH, which can cause programs

Redesign uncaught exception handling to allow external reporters
This helps keep UI code out of the core library. It was becoming a
problem especially on OS X where including an Objective-C wrapper around
NSAlert would have broken Builder's bootstrap. Libmspgui will acquire
