The big endian RISC-V effort is mostly driven by MIPS (the company) which is
pivoting to RISC-V, and presumably needs a big endian variant to fill the niche
that big endian MIPS (the ISA) did.
GCC already supports these targets, but LLVM support will only appear in 22;
this commit just adds the necessary target knowledge and checks on our end.
This mainly just moves stuff around.
Justifications for other changes:
* `KEVENT.FLAGS` is backed by `c_uint` because that's what the `kevent64` flags param takes (according to the 'latest' manpage from 2008)
* `MACH_RCV_NOTIFY` is a legacy name and `MACH_RCV_OVERWRITE` is deprecated (xnu/osfmk/mach/message.h), so I removed them. They were 0 anyway and thus couldn't be represented
as a packed struct field.
* `MACH.RCV` and `MACH.SEND` are technically the same 'type' because they can both be supplied at the same time to `mach_msg`. I decided to still keep them separate because
naming works out better that way and all flags except for `MACH_MSG_STRICT_REPLY` aren't shared anyway. Both are part of a packed union `mach_msg_option_t` which supplies a
helper function to combine the two types.
* `PT` is backed by `c_int` because that's what `ptrace` takes as a request arg (according to the latest manpage from 2015)
It doesn't really make sense for `target_util.canBuildLibCompilerRt`
(and its ubsan-rt friend) to take in `use_llvm`, because the caller
doesn't control that: they're just going to queue a sub-compilation for
the runtime. The only exception to that is the ZCU strategy, where we
effectively embed `_ = @import("compiler_rt")` into the Zig compilation:
there, the question does matter. Rather than trying to do multiple weird
calls to model this, just have `canBuildLibCompilerRt` return not just a
boolean, but also differentiate the self-hosted backend being capable of
building the library vs only LLVM being capable. Logic in `Compilation`
uses that difference to decide whether to use the ZCU strategy, and also
to disable the library if the compiler does not support LLVM and it is
required.
Also, remove a redundant check later on, when actually queuing jobs.
We've already checked that we can build `compiler_rt`, and
`compiler_rt_strat` is set accordingly. I'm guessing this was there to
work around a bug I saw in the old strategy assignment, where support
was ignored in some cases.

they seem to be always `null` even when accessed through extern key so we have no way to tell whether they have natural alignment or not to decorate. And the reason we don't always decorate them is because some environments might be too dumb and crash for this.
On macOS, when using the LLVM backend, the output binary retains a
reference to this object file's debug info (as opposed to self-hosted
backends which instead emit a dSYM bundle). As such, we need to retain
this object file in such cases. This object does unfortunately "leak",
in that it won't be reused and will just sit in the cache forever (or
until GC'd in the future). But that's no worse than the cache behavior
prior to the rework that caused this, and it will become less of a
problem over time as the self-hosted backend gains usability for debug
builds and eventually becomes the default.

In the best case, this is redundant work, because we aren't actually
going to emit a working binary this update. In the worst case, it causes
bugs because the linker may not have *seen* the thing being exported due
to the compile errors.

A little clunky -- maybe the frontend should give an answer here -- but
this patch makes sense with the surrounding logic just to fix the crash.
Resolves: #24265
The LLVM backend lowers unions where all fields are zero-bit as
equivalent to their backing enum, and expects them to have the same
by-ref-ness in at least one place in the backend, probably more.
