Clean up std::task docs, make TaskBuilder a real builder

Delete all the documentation from std::task that references linked
failure.

Tweak TaskBuilder to be more builder-like. .name() is now .named() and
.add_wrapper() is now .with_wrapper(). Remove .watched() and
.unwatched() as they didn't actually do anything.

* An executing Rust program consists of a tree of tasks, each with their own
* stack, and sole ownership of their allocated heap data. Tasks communicate
* with each other using ports and channels (see std::rt::comm for more info
* with each other using ports and channels (see std::comm for more info
* about how communication works).
*
* Tasks can be spawned in 3 different modes.
*
* * Bidirectionally linked: This is the default mode and it's what ```spawn``` does.
* Failures will be propagated from parent to child and vice versa.
*
* * Unidirectionally linked (parent->child): This type of task can be created with
* ```spawn_supervised```. In this case, failures are propagated from parent to child
* but not the other way around.
*
* * Unlinked: Tasks can be completely unlinked. These tasks can be created by using
* ```spawn_unlinked```. In this case failures are not propagated at all.
*
* Tasks' failure modes can be further configured. For instance, parent tasks can (un)watch
* children failures. Please, refer to TaskBuilder's documentation bellow for more information.
*
* When a (bi|uni)directionally linked task fails, its failure will be propagated to all tasks
* linked to it, this will cause such tasks to fail by a `linked failure`.
* Failure in one task does not propagate to any others (not to parent, not to child).
* Failure propagation is instead handled by using Chan.send() and Port.recv(), which
* will fail if the other end has hung up already.
