             Summary: Support case classes and tuples without reflection or 
codegen using shapeless

Scrunch support for case classes is pretty buggy, only supports a subset of 
scala versions, and fails at runtime instead of compile time if something goes 
wrong. Additionally, the support of tuple types via code generation is awkward 
and unnecessary.

This patch should hopefully solve both of these with a shapeless 
(https://github.com/milessabin/shapeless) based solution which should be much 
simpler and more reliable, by defining a mechanism for deriving PTypeH 
instances for HLists where PTypeH instances for each type in the list is known.

We have used it in a few production cases at SC for a while, and the unit and 
integration test suite passes, but I didn't write any new tests specifically 
for this purpose. Hopefully they should be covered by the existing tests using 
case classes and tuples.
