Summary:
Change the type of `fold` functions to enable them to compose
better. The guiding reasoning behind using types such as:
```
val fold : 'a t -> 's -> f:('a -> 's -> 's) -> 's
```
is:
1. The function argument should be labeled. This is so that it can be
reordered relative to the others, since it is often a multi-line
`fun` expression.
2. The function argument should come last. This enables its
arguments (which are often polymorphic) to benefit from type-based
disambiguation information determined by the types of the other
arguments at the call sites.
3. The function argument's type should produce an
accumulator-transformer when partially-applied. That is,
`f x : 's -> 's`. This composes well with other functions designed
to produce transformers/endofunctions when partially applied, and
in particular improves the common case of composing folds into
"state-passing style" code.
4. The fold function itself should produce an accumulator-transformer
when partially applied. So `'a t -> 's -> f:_ -> 's` rather than
`'s -> 'a t -> f:_ -> 's` or `'a t -> init:'s -> f:_ -> 's` etc.

Summary:
Some Iter and Containers functions take optional arguments that
default to polymorphic comparison. This diff wraps all of these making
the argument non-optional to avoid silently using polymorphic compare.

Summary:
Expressing the sort of short-circuit evaluation in the changed code is
conceptually more direct using iterators.
Also, when using With_return, getting usable backtraces relies on the
compiler recognizing that the `raise` in the implementation of
`Base.Exn.raise_without_backtrace` should be a `reraise`. Using
iterators avoids this potential fragility.

Summary:
Change implementation of IArray from a wrapper of
Core_kernel.Array.Permissioned to NS.Array, and remove magic. Also
add operations to Array and Iter in order to ensure that IArray is an
extremely thin wrapper of Array: only defining conversions to/from
arrays as well as adding hashing support.
