This commit adds some unit tests for `std.fs.File.readAllAlloc`
function. It also updates the docs of `Reader.readNoEof`
which were outdated, and swaps `inStream()` for `reader()` in
`File.readAllAlloc` with the former being deprecated.
Adds Windows stub (still needs to be implemented on Windows),
adds WASI implementation, adds unit test testing basic chain of
ops: create file -> symlink -> readlink.
* `std.fs.Dir.Entry.Kind` is moved to `std.fs.File.Kind`
* `std.fs.File.Stat` gains the `kind` field, so performing a stat() on
a File now tells what kind of file it is. On Windows this only will
distinguish between directories and files.
* rework zig fmt logic so that in the case of opening a file and
discovering it to be a directory, it closes the file descriptor
before re-opening it with O_DIRECTORY, using fewer simultaneous open
file descriptors when walking a directory tree.
* rework zig fmt logic so that it pays attention to the kind of
directory entries, and when it sees a sub-directory it attempts to
open it as a directory rather than a file, reducing the number of
open() syscalls when walking a directory tree.
One of the main motivating use cases for this language feature is
tracing/profiling tools, which expect null-terminated strings for these
values. Since the data is statically allocated, making them
additionally null-terminated comes at no cost.
This prevents the requirement of compile-time code to convert to
null-termination, which could increase the compilation time of
code with tracing enabled.

std.log provides 8 log levels and corresponding logging functions. It
allows the user to override the logging "backend" by defining root.log
and to override the default log level by defining root.log_level.
Logging functions accept a scope parameter which allows the implementer
of the logging "backend" to filter logging by library as well as level.
Using the standardized syslog [1] log levels ensures that std.log will
be flexible enough to work for as many use-cases as possible. If we were
to stick with only 3/4 log levels, std.log would be insufficient for
large and/or complex projects such as a kernel or display server.

- stderr_file_writer was unused
- stderr_stream was a pointer to a stream, rather than a stream
- other functions assumed that getStderrStream has already been called
Start implementing https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4917 which is to rename instream/outstream to reader/writer. This first change allows code to use Writer/writer instead of OutStream/outStream, but still maintains the old outstream names with "Deprecated" comments.
