Previous to #7082, users could overwrite PATH_MAX in the root file to support std.os.toPosixPath, permitting the "bring your own operating system" layer to implement the POSIX API for opening files. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.
This commit intends to fix what is arguably a regression from 0.7 in a way that doesn't break any code targeting 0.8.0, making it suitable to be included in a 0.8 patch release.
However in a future release that permits breaking changes, I am of the opinion that it would be beneficial to overwrite the value, even for "supported" operating systems. Same for all the other POSIX/BYOOS functions and values. However this is beyond the scope of this commit. Further discussion of this will be made into an issue in due time.
`return` statements use a new function `nodeMayEvalToError` which does
some basic checks on the AST node to return never, always, or maybe.
Depending on this result, AstGen skips the errdefers, always includes
the errdefers, or emits a conditional branch to check whether the return
value is an error that Sema will have to evaluate.

Unblocks #9047
Handle linker args joined with a = like -Wl,-rpath=foo
Update existing args --major-os-version, --minor-os-version,
--major-subsystem-version and --minor-subsytem-version to work with the
new parsing.
Also handle -Wl,--script in addition to -Wl,-T
Lakemont has no x86, no MMX, no SSE and no way of handling any fp-math. In theory LLVM is able to implicitly use the soft-float emulation library calls to legalize any such operation but, given Zig's use of many non-standard features, sometimes we hit a weak spot in the X86 codegen backend.
Consider this as a work-around for this LLVM problem, fixing the problem in LLVM is not so high in my todo list as the target is pretty niche and Intel axed it in '19.

This is for consistency with the documentation on sentinel-terminated
{arrays,slices,pointers} which already use `N` for a comptime-inferred
size rather than `X`.
Also adds a behavioral test to assert that a string literal is returned.
This was already the case, but the documentation failed to point out
that the returned value is of type `*const [N:0]u8`, i.e. that of a
string literal.
Also adds a behavioral test to assert that this is the case.
NetBSD expects 2 PT_LOAD segments in a shared object, otherwise
ld.elf_so fails to load, emitting a general "not found" error.
Workaround issue by adding args `--no-rosegment` and `-znorelro`.

This extra message was intended to help contributors by clarifying
what to do when they hit a `zig fmt` failure, but now AST errors are
also emitted here and the message may actually introduce confusion.
Remove it for now.
Previously, Zig did not properly communicate the target CPU features for
RISC-V to clang assembler, because Clang has a different way to pass CPU
features for C code and for assembly code. This commit makes Zig pass a
RISC-V -march flag in order to communicate CPU features to Clang when
compiling assembly files.
The Zig language specification will support identifiers and field access
in order to refer to which declaration to export with `@export`.
This commit implements the change in AstGen and updates the language
reference.
This new option sets a default libc paths file to be used for all
LibExeObjSteps. Setting LibExeObjStep.libc_file overrides this default.
This is required to allow users to cross compile projects linking system
libraries without needing to patch the build.zig.
This breaking change disambiguates between overriding the lib dir when
performing an installation with the Zig Build System, and overriding the
lib dir that the Zig installation itself uses.
