[phobos] std.process and std.datetime - circular dependency on OSX

[Robert Clipsham]

How about:

--
pure static this()
{
  // Code
}
--

That is, pure at module level (doesn't depend on any other modules).
Ordering can be done as before, we just need to add a clause in the docs to
define pure module constructors as being run first given a "cyclic
dependancy".
