This patch does not migrate tower-filter to use an error type of
Box<Error>. Instead, it defines a new type that optionally contains
a Box<Error>.
The filter layer can be used as part of routing. The router would
sequentially attempt to dispatch a request to an inner service. If
the request is rejected, it attempts the next one. In this case, allocating
a Box<Error> for each attempt is not great.
This strategy still fits within the greater picture. tower_filter::error::Error
implements the error trait, which means that all other layers that take
T: Into<Error> will still work with Filter. Also, only the immediate caller
of Filter should care about rejection errors. In which case, Filter will be
referenced explicitly.
Refs: #131
This change introduces the new `tower-layer` crate and the foundational `Layer` trait to go along with it. This trait allows one to easily compose a set of `Service`s that take an inner service. These services only modify the request/response. This also provides the `Layer` implementation for many of the tower crates.
This updates the `Service` contract requiring `poll_ready` to be called
before `call`. This allows `Service::call` to panic in the event the
user of the service omits `poll_ready` or does not wait until `Ready` is
observed.
This changes the Service request type to a generic instead of an associated
type. This is more appropriate as requests are inputs to the service.
This change enables a single implementation of `Service` to accept many
kinds of request types. This also enables requests to be references.

A dual MIT / Apache 2.0 license does not make any sense. Since the
intent of the original license was to be dual under MIT or Apache 2.0,
restricting to ony MIT is OK.
