Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things:
on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API,
but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms
by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.
In Scala 2.10, which was our first stab at reflection API, we didn't
have a systematic approach to dealing with this tension, sometimes exposing
too much of internals (e.g. Symbol.deSkolemize) and sometimes exposing
too little (e.g. there's still no facility to change owners, to do typing
transformations, etc). This resulted in certain confusion with some internal
APIs living among public ones, scaring the newcomers, and some internal APIs
only available via casting, which requires intimate knowledge of the
compiler and breaks compatibility guarantees.
This led to creation of the `internal` API module for the reflection API,
which provides advanced APIs necessary for macros that push boundaries
of the state of the art, clearly demarcating them from the more or less
straightforward rest and providing compatibility guarantees on par with
the rest of the reflection API.
This commit does break source compatibility with reflection API in 2.10,
but the next commit is going to introduce a strategy of dealing with that.

Performs the following renamings:
* scala.reflect.macros.BlackboxContext to scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context
* scala.reflect.macros.BlackboxMacro to scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Macro
* scala.reflect.macros.WhiteboxContext to scala.reflect.macros.whitebox.Context
* scala.reflect.macros.WhiteboxMacro to scala.reflect.macros.whitebox.Macro

When an application of a blackbox macro expands into a tree `x`,
the expansion is wrapped into a type ascription `(x: T)`, where `T` is
the declared return type of the blackbox macro with type arguments and
path dependencies applied in consistency with the particular macro
application being expanded.
This invalidates blackbox macros as an implementation vehicle
of type providers.

This is the first commit in the series. This commit only:
1) Splits Context into BlackboxContext and WhiteboxContext
2) Splits Macro into BlackboxMacro and WhiteboxMacro
3) Introduces the isBundle property in the macro impl binding
Here we just teach the compiler that macros can now be blackbox and whitebox,
without actually imposing any restrictions on blackbox macros. These
restrictions will come in subsequent commits.
For description and documentation of the blackbox/whitebox separation
see the official macro guide at the scaladoc website:
http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/blackbox-whitebox.html
Some infrastructure work to make evolving macros easier:
compile partest-extras with quick so they can use latest library/reflect/...

This fix provides implicit macros with an ability to affect type inference
in a more or less sane manner. That's crucial for materialization of
multi-parametric type class instances (e.g. Iso's from shapeless).
Details of the technique can be found in comments.

In January I submitted a pull request that, as I thought back then,
fixes SI-5923: https://github.com/scala/scala/commit/fe60284769.
The pull request was merged, and everyone was happy that the bug got fixed.
Unfortunately, the fix was: a) incomplete, b) broke something else,
as noticed by Miles in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/scala-internals/7pA9CiiD3u8/discussion.
Now we got a real fix in 2.10.x (https://github.com/scala/scala/commit/90ac5c4e13),
and it's my pleasure to port it to master.
