* make Sema.zirPtrType coerce the sentinel value against the element
type
* fix lazyAbiAlignment wrong result type
* typeHasOnePossibleValue no longer tries to create interned enum tag
value with integer zero, instead uses enum_field_index
* Type.ptr avoids trying to store typed null values into the intern
pool
This commit changes a lot of `*const Module` to `*Module` to make it
work, since accessing the integer tag type of an enum might need to
mutate the InternPool by adding a new integer type into it.
An alternate strategy would be to pre-heat the InternPool with the
integer tag type when creating an enum type, which would make it so that
intTagType could accept a const Module instead of a mutable one,
asserting that the InternPool already had the integer tag type.
The Key struct now has a Storage tagged union which can store a u64,
i64, or big int.
This is needed so that indexToKey can be implemented for integers stored
compactly in the data structure.
Instead of doing everything at once which is a hopelessly large task,
this introduces a piecemeal transition that can be done in small
increments at a time.
This is a minimal changeset that keeps the compiler compiling. It only
uses the InternPool for a small set of types.
Behavior tests are not passing.
Air.Inst.Ref and Zir.Inst.Ref are separated into different enums but
compile-time verified to have the same fields in the same order.
The large set of changes is mainly to deal with the fact that most Type
and Value methods now require a Module to be passed in, so that the
InternPool object can be accessed.
The idea here is that there are two ways we can reference a function at runtime:
* Through a direct call, i.e. where the function is comptime-known
* Through a function pointer
This means we can easily perform a form of rudimentary escape analysis
on functions. If we ever see a `decl_ref` or `ref` of a function, we
have a function pointer, which could "leak" into runtime code, so we
emit the function; but for a plain `decl_val`, there's no need to.
This change means that `comptime { _ = f; }` no longer forces a function
to be emitted, which was used for some things (mainly tests). These use
sites have been replaced with `_ = &f;`, which still triggers analysis
of the function body, since you're taking a pointer to the function.

This commit removes the `field_call_bind` and `field_call_bind_named` ZIR
instructions, replacing them with a `field_call` instruction which does the bind
and call in one.
`field_call_bind` is an unfortunate instruction. It's tied into one very
specific usage pattern - its result can only be used as a callee. This means
that it creates a value of a "pseudo-type" of sorts, `bound_fn` - this type used
to exist in Zig, but now we just hide it from the user and have AstGen ensure
it's only used in one way. This is quite silly - `Type` and `Value` should, as
much as possible, reflect real Zig types and values.
It makes sense to instead encode the `a.b()` syntax as its own ZIR instruction,
so that's what we do here. This commit introduces a new instruction,
`field_call`. It's like `call`, but rather than a callee ref, it contains a ref
to the object pointer (`&a` in `a.b()`) and the string field name (`b`). This
eliminates `bound_fn` from the language, and slightly decreases the size of
generated ZIR - stats below.
This commit does remove a few usages which used to be allowed:
- `@field(a, "b")()`
- `@call(.auto, a.b, .{})`
- `@call(.auto, @field(a, "b"), .{})`
These forms used to work just like `a.b()`, but are no longer allowed. I believe
this is the correct choice for a few reasons:
- `a.b()` is a purely *syntactic* form; for instance, `(a.b)()` is not valid.
This means it is *not* inconsistent to not allow it in these cases; the
special case here isn't "a field access as a callee", but rather this exact
syntactic form.
- The second argument to `@call` looks much more visually distinct from the
callee in standard call syntax. To me, this makes it seem strange for that
argument to not work like a normal expression in this context.
- A more practical argument: it's confusing! `@field` and `@call` are used in
very different contexts to standard function calls: the former normally hints
at some comptime machinery, and the latter that you want more precise control
over parts of a function call. In these contexts, you don't want implicit
arguments adding extra confusion: you want to be very explicit about what
you're doing.
Lastly, some stats. I mentioned before that this change slightly reduces the
size of ZIR - this is due to two instructions (`field_call_bind` then `call`)
being replaced with one (`field_call`). Here are some numbers:

Fixes a regression introduced in
9295355985202c267b4326b5a6e2ad5158b48e5d that caused 32-bit builds with
`-Denable-llvm` to fail to build from source due to that common
u64/usize casting issue.
When the element is comptime-known, we can check if it has a repeated
byte representation. In this case, `@memset` can be lowered with the
LLVM intrinsic rather than with a loop.
