any *T -> ?*T cast is allowed implicitly, even
when it occurs deep inside the type, and the cast
is a no-op at runtime.
in order to add this I had to make the comptime value
representation of nullable pointers the same as the
comptime value representation of normal pointers,
so that we don't have to do any recursive transformation
of values when doing this kind of cast.
Now, if a struct has any fields which require comptime,
such as `type`, then the struct is marked as requiring
comptime as well. Same goes for unions.
This means that a function will implicitly be called
at comptime if the return type is a struct which contains
a field of type `type`.

This hides some of the low-level parsing details from the
StreamingParser. These don't need to be known when parsing a complete
slice at once (which is we can usually do).
Also, remove `Json` from Parser names. The namespace `json` is sufficient.
* add assertion for trying to do @typeInfo on global error set
* remove TypeInfo.Slice
* add TypeInfo.Pointer.Size with possible values
- One
- Many
- Slice

* enable slicing for single-item ptr to arrays
* disable slicing for other single-item pointers
* enable indexing for single-item ptr to arrays
* disable indexing for other single-item pointers

Currently it does not have any different behavior than `*`
but it is now recommended to use `[*]` for unknown length
pointers to be future-proof.
Instead of [ * ] being separate tokens as the proposal
suggested, this commit implements `[*]` as a single token.

This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
It doesn't actually do terminal color yet because we need to add
cross platform terminal color abstractions. But it toggles between
the single line error reporting and the multiline error reporting.
