This adds support to use nullptr to construct, assign, or return a
scoped_ptr<T> and scoped_ptr<T[]>. Support for this requires the use
of a move-only constructor.

The changes are:

- Add a constructor that takes decltype(nullptr) as a parameter. This
allows behaviour such as scoped_ptr<T>(nullptr), but also allows a
function with return type scoped_ptr<T> to "return nullptr;" instead
of "return scoped_ptr<T>();".

- Add an operator=(decltype(nullptr)) that resets the scoped_ptr to
empty and deletes anything it held.

- Add/Modify a constructor to take a scoped_ptr<U,E>&& parameter for
constructing a scoped_ptr from another using move-only semantics. This
piece is critical for allowing the function returning nullptr to be
assigned to some other scoped_ptr at the callsite. In particular, take
the following code:
  scoped_ptr<T> Function() { return nullptr; }
  scoped_ptr<T> var = Function();
In this case the constructor which takes a nullptr allows Function() to
be written, but not to be used. The move-only constructor allows the
assignment from Function() to var. See "C++11 feature proposal:
Move-only constructors" on chromium-dev for more explanation why.

The scoped_ptr<T> class already had a constructor which took
scoped_ptr<U,E> as an argument, so this was changed to be
scoped_ptr<U,E>&& instead. The scoped_ptr<T[]> class had no such
constructor, so a scoped_ptr&& constructor was added. These match
the constructors found on the unique_ptr class.

- Remove the RValue type and the contructor that constructs a
scoped_ptr from an RValue. Change Pass() to return a scoped_ptr&&
instead of a scoped_ptr::RValue, to avoid the type conversion and
remove some complexity. This is done with a new emulation macro that
still provides Pass() and makes the type go down the MoveOnlyType
path in base::Callback code.

This adds base_unittests to demonstrate and use these changes.

The use of Pass() remains unchanged until std::move() is written
or allowed. At that time std::move() could be used instead of Pass.
