An implementation of binary assignment operators for @property

Issue 8006 - Implement proper in-place-modification for
properties
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8006
------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the primary issue motivating the pull request. The
pull request is only a partial resolution of this issue; it
implements binary assignment operators (e.g. `s.x += 2`), but
not unary assignment operators (e.g. `s.x++`). The plan is to
implement unary assignment operators in a separate pull request
after the fate of the binary assignment operators pull request
is decided.
I'm a huge fan of this, but then I am of the mindset that
@property functions should act like variables much in the way
that they do for C# properties.
