## Motivation
Similar to #1666, it is no longer necessary to lazily register delays with the
executions default timer. All delays are expected to be created from within a
runtime, and should panic if not done so.
## Solution
`tokio::time` now assumes there to be a `CURRENT_TIMER` set when creating a
delay; this can be assumed if called within a tokio runtime. If there is no
current timer, the application will panic with a "no current timer" message.
## Follow-up
Similar to #1666, `HandlePriv` can probably be removed, but this mainly prepares
for 0.2 API changes. Because it is not in the public API, this can be done in a
following change.

In an effort to reach API stability, the `tokio` crate is shedding its
_public_ dependencies on crates that are either a) do not provide a
stable (1.0+) release with longevity guarantees or b) match the `tokio`
release cadence. Of course, implementing `std` traits fits the
requirements.
The on exception, for now, is the `Stream` trait found in `futures_core`.
It is expected that this trait will not change much and be moved into `std.
Since Tokio is not yet going reaching 1.0, I feel that it is acceptable to maintain
a dependency on this trait given how foundational it is.
Since the `Stream` implementation is optional, types that are logically
streams provide `async fn next_*` functions to obtain the next value.
Avoiding the `next()` name prevents fn conflicts with `StreamExt::next()`.
Additionally, some misc cleanup is also done:
- `tokio::io::io` -> `tokio::io::util`.
- `delay` -> `delay_until`.
- `Timeout::new` -> `timeout(...)`.
- `signal::ctrl_c()` returns a future instead of a stream.
- `{tcp,unix}::Incoming` is removed (due to lack of `Stream` trait).
- `time::Throttle` is removed (due to lack of `Stream` trait).
- Fix: `mpsc::UnboundedSender::send(&self)` (no more conflict with `Sink` fns).
This patch started as an effort to make `time::Timer` private. However, in an
effort to get the build compiling again, more and more changes were made. This
probably should have been broken up, but here we are. I will attempt to
summarize the changes here.
* Feature flags are reorganized to make clearer. `net-driver` becomes
`io-driver`. `rt-current-thread` becomes `rt-core`.
* The `Runtime` can be created without any executor. This replaces `enter`. It
also allows creating I/O / time drivers that are standalone.
* `tokio::timer` is renamed to `tokio::time`. This brings it in line with `std`.
* `tokio::timer::Timer` is renamed to `Driver` and made private.
* The `clock` module is removed. Instead, an `Instant` type is provided. This
type defaults to calling `std::time::Instant`. A `test-util` feature flag can
be used to enable hooking into time.
* The `blocking` module is moved to the top level and is cleaned up.
* The `task` module is moved to the top level.
* The thread-pool's in-place blocking implementation is cleaned up.
* `runtime::Spawner` is renamed to `runtime::Handle` and can be used to "enter"
a runtime context.
A step towards collapsing Tokio sub crates into a single `tokio`
crate (#1318).
The `timer` implementation is now provided by the main `tokio` crate.
The `timer` functionality may still be excluded from the build by
skipping the `timer` feature flag.
