added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
On Linux, File.metadata calls the statx syscall directly. As such, the
return value is the error code. Previously, it handled the error with
`posix.errno`, which when libc is linked, treats the return value as a
value set to -1 if there is an error with the error code in errno. If
libc wasn't linked, it would be handled correctly.
In the Linux with libc linked case, this would cause the error result to
always be treated as success (err val != -1), even when an error
occurred.
statx() is strictly superior to stat() and friends. We can do this because the
standard library declares Linux 4.19 to be the minimum version supported in
std.Target. This is also necessary on riscv32 where there is only statx().
While here, I improved std.fs.File.metadata() to gather as much information as
possible when calling statx() since that is the expectation from this particular
API.
It is now composed of these main sections:
* Declarations that are shared among all operating systems.
* Declarations that have the same name, but different type signatures
depending on the operating system. Often multiple operating systems
share the same type signatures however.
* Declarations that are specific to a single operating system.
- These are imported one per line so you can see where they come from,
protected by a comptime block to prevent accessing the wrong one.
Closes#19352 by changing the convention to making types `void` and
functions `{}`, so that it becomes possible to update `@hasDecl` sites
to use `@TypeOf(f) != void` or `T != void`. Happily, this ended up
removing some duplicate logic and update some bitrotted feature
detection checks.
A handful of types have been modified to gain namespacing and type
safety. This is a breaking change.
Oh, and the last usage of `usingnamespace` site is eliminated.
On Windows, the console mode flag `ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING` determines whether or not ANSI escape codes are parsed/acted on. On the newer Windows Terminal, this flag is set by default, but on the older Windows Console, it is not set by default, but *can* be enabled (since Windows 10 RS1 from June 2016).
The new `File.getOrEnableAnsiEscapeSupport` function will get the current status of ANSI escape code support, but will also attempt to enable `ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING` on Windows if necessary which will provide better/more consistent results for things like `std.Progress` and `std.io.tty`.
This type of change was not done previously due to a mistaken assumption (on my part) that the console mode would persist after the run of a program. However, it turns out that the console mode is always reset to the default for each program run in a console session.
* Newer versions of Windows added VT seq support not only in Windows Terminal, but also in the old-fashioned Windows Console (standalone conhost.exe), though not enabled by default.
* Try setting the newer console mode flags provides better experience for Windows Console users.

Windows paths now use WTF-16 <-> WTF-8 conversion everywhere, which is lossless. Previously, conversion of ill-formed UTF-16 paths would either fail or invoke illegal behavior.
WASI paths must be valid UTF-8, and the relevant function calls have been updated to handle the possibility of failure due to paths not being encoded/encodable as valid UTF-8.
