* ELF v1 on powerpc64 is only barely kept on life support in a couple of Linux
distros. I don't anticipate that this will last much longer.
* Most of the Linux world has moved to powerpc64le which requires ELF v2.
* Some Linux distros have even started supporting powerpc64 with ELF v2.
* The BSD world has long since moved to ELF v2.
* We have no actual linking support for ELF v1.
* ELF v1 had confused DWARF register mappings which is becoming a problem in
our DWARF code in std.debug.
It's clear that ELF v1 is on its way out, and we never fully supported it
anyway. So let's not waste any time or energy on it going forward.
closes#5927
* Remove the generic model; we already have generic_la32 and generic_la64 and
pick appropriately based on bitness.
* Remove the loongarch64 model. We used this as our baseline for 64-bit, but it's
actually pretty misleading and useless; it doesn't represent any real CPU and
has less features than generic_la64.
* Add la64v1_0 and la64v1_1 models.
* Change our baseline CPU model for 64-bit to be la64v1_0, thus adding LSX to
the baseline feature set.
The big endian RISC-V effort is mostly driven by MIPS (the company) which is
pivoting to RISC-V, and presumably needs a big endian variant to fill the niche
that big endian MIPS (the ISA) did.
GCC already supports these targets, but LLVM support will only appear in 22;
this commit just adds the necessary target knowledge and checks on our end.
According to https://apilevels.com, 88.5% of Android users are on 29+. Older API
levels require libc as of https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24629, which has
confused some users. Seems reasonable to bump the default so most people won't
be confused by this.
Without this change, by default you get a failure when trying to cross
compile for these targets.
freebsd was error: undefined symbol: __libc_start1
netbsd was warning: invalid target NetBSD libc version: 9.4.0
error: unable to build NetBSD libc shared objects: InvalidTargetLibCVersion
now they work by default
Alignment and fill options only apply to numbers.
Rework the implementation to mainly branch on the format string rather
than the type information. This is more straightforward to maintain and
more straightforward for comptime evaluation.
Enums support being printed as decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary.
`formatInteger` is another possible format method that is
unconditionally called when the value type is struct and one of the
integer-printing format specifiers are used.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.

- no fmt string
Textual PTX is just assembly language like any other. And if we do ever add
support for emitting PTX object files after reverse engineering the bytecode
format, we'd be emitting ELF files like the CUDA toolchain. So there's really no
need for a special ObjectFormat tag here, nor linker code that treats it as a
distinct format.
