alongside the typical msghdr struct, Zig has added a msghdr_const
type that can be used with sendmsg which allows const data to
be provided. I believe that data pointed to by the iov and control
fields in msghdr are also left unmodified, in which case they can
be marked const as well.
Rename all references of sparcv9 to sparc64, to make Zig align more with
other projects. Also, added new function to convert glibc arch name to Zig
arch name, since it refers to the architecture as sparcv9.
This is based on the suggestion by @kubkon in PR 11847.

Some systems (Solaris, OpenBSD, AIX) change their definitions of
sockaddr_storage to be larger than 128 bytes. This comment adds a new
constant in the `sockaddr` that defines the size for every system.
Fixes#9759
* std lib tests are passing on x86_64-linux with and without -lc
* stage2 is building from source on x86_64-linux
* down to 38 remaining uses of `usingnamespace`
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
The primary purpose of this change is to eliminate one usage of
`usingnamespace` in the standard library - specifically the usage for
errno values in `std.os.linux`.
This is accomplished by truncating the `E` prefix from error values, and
making errno a proper enum.
A similar strategy can be used to eliminate some other `usingnamespace`
sites in the std lib.
* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
the std.Thread namespace
* remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
* move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
* add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
* add std.Thread.Condition
* add std.Thread.Semaphore
* new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
* add std.Thread.RwLock

Do the alignment dance by ourselves whenever posix_memalign is not
available.
Don't try to use malloc as it has too many edge cases, figuring out
whether a block of memory is manually aligned by the mechanism above or
is directly coming from malloc becomes too hard to be valuable.
