Consistency for ops classes

1. Extend AnyVal when possible, unless there are macro ops
1a. Don't take implicit params in the ops class param list, again unless
    there are macro ops.
2. Make all conversions to ops classes final. They are all declared in
   traits, so users with their own syntax hierarchy have no chance of
   inlining unless they are marked final. Plus, it's consistent.
3. Make all ops class constructor fields private by default, to avoid
   polluting the namespace of the type.

Remove private val part, because scala 2.10 doesn't support it
