TailRec phase and tests for it.

Ported tailcall phase from scalac with such changes:
  - all transformation is done in the phase itself
     (previously half of the work was done in backend)
  - it is now able to run before uncurry
  - it is now a treeTransform
  - renamed to tailrec to make it more obvious that
     this phase transforms only recursive calls.

For now this is a single phase which speculatively
transforms DefDefs.
Speculation can be potentially removed by
splitting into 2 phases:
  one detecting which methods should be transformed
  second performing transformation.

But, as transformation requires as same amount of work
as detection, I believe it will be simpler to maintain
it as a single phase.
