Reducing the sbt launcher footprint by eliminating val references
which go through the scala package object, since they lead to
otherwise unnecessary classes becoming required at startup. Mostly
this means library files with constructors like "Iterator.empty" or
"Stream.continually" receive a direct import of that companion. The one
slightly less than cosmetic change was moving the strange xml value
"$scope" back into Predef, because otherwise I have to touch the xml
code generation. No review.
