The majority of these are in comments, some in doc comments which might
affect the generated documentation, and a few in parameter names -
nothing that should be breaking, however.
Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.

* GPA: Catch invalid frees
Fix#14791: Catch cases where an invalid slice is passed to free().
This was silently ignored before but now logs an error. This change
uses a AutoHashMap to keep track of the sizes which seems to be an
overkill but seems like the easiest way to catch these errors.
* GPA: Add wrong alignment checks to free/resize
Implement @Inkryption's suggestion to catch free/resize with the wrong
alignment. I also changed the naming to match large allocations.
This reverts commit abc9530a88d24350481d9264edcde300f293929a.
This patch implies that the idiomatic Zig way of handling anytype
parameter is to write a bunch of boilerplate instead of directly
accessing type information and relying on the compiler to be useful.
I don't want it to be this way.
It is the compiler's job to make useful error messages when the wrong
field of a type info result is accessed, and it is the zig programmer's
job to understand what it means when a compile error points at the field
access of `@typeInfo` (along with the relevant callsites).
One thing that might be useful would be having the compiler be aware of
module boundaries and highlighting the boundaries of them. The first
reference note after crossing a module boundary is likely the most
interesting one.
* Export invalidFmtErr
To allow consistent use of "invalid format string" compile error
response for badly formatted format strings.
See https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/13489#issuecomment-1311759340.
* Replace format compile errors with invalidFmtErr
- Provides more consistent compile errors.
- Gives user info about the type of the badly formated value.
* Rename invalidFmtErr as invalidFmtError
For consistency. Zig seems to use “Error” more often than “Err”.
* std: add invalid format string checks to remaining custom formatters
* pass reference-trace to comp when building build file; fix checkobjectstep
Instead of making the memory alignment functions more complicated, I
added more API documentation for their existing semantics.

Make `@returnAddress()` return for the BPF target, as the BPF target for
the time being does not support probing for the return address. Stack
traces for the general purpose allocator for the BPF target is also set
to not be captured.
This is a breaking change. Before, usage looked like this:
```zig
const held = mutex.acquire();
defer held.release();
```
Now it looks like this:
```zig
mutex.lock();
defer mutex.unlock();
```
The `Held` type was an idea to make mutexes slightly safer by making it
more difficult to forget to release an aquired lock. However, this
ultimately caused more problems than it solved, when any data structures
needed to store a held mutex. Simplify everything by reducing the API
down to the primitives: lock() and unlock().

We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
- hash/eql functions moved into a Context object
- *Context functions pass an explicit context
- *Adapted functions pass specialized keys and contexts
- new getPtr() function returns a pointer to value
- remove functions renamed to fetchRemove
- new remove functions return bool
- removeAssertDiscard deleted, use assert(remove(...)) instead
- Keys and values are stored in separate arrays
- Entry is now {*K, *V}, the new KV is {K, V}
- BufSet/BufMap functions renamed to match other set/map types
- fixed iterating-while-modifying bug in src/link/C.zig

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
It now uses the log scope "gpa" instead of "std".
Additionally, there is a new config option `verbose_log` which enables
info log messages for every allocation. Can be useful when debugging.
This option is off by default.
* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
the std.Thread namespace
* remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
* move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
* add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
* add std.Thread.Condition
* add std.Thread.Semaphore
* new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
* add std.Thread.RwLock
