[phobos] improved module cycle detection algorithm finds existing cycle in phobos, what to do?

[Steve Schveighoffer]

No, the issue is, stdiobase only imports what it needs to do the static 
constructor.  stdio may import other things that have nothing to do with the 
static ctor, but may inadvertently make a cycle.

The theory goes, if there is no true dependency cycle (i.e. two independent 
ctors that depend on eachother to run), then you should be able to split the 
static ctor into its own module.
