5d89955543 compiler_rt: specify goals, organize README and compiler_rt.zig
* goals
  - zig as linker for object files generated by other compilers
  - zig-specific runtime features for eventual standardisation

* changes
  - missing routines are marked with `missing`
  - structure inspired by libgcc docs, but improved order and wording
  - rename misspelled functions
  - reorder and rephrase compiler_rt.zig to reflect documentation
  - potential decimal float or fixed-point arithmetic support:
    * 'Decimal float library routines' ca. 120 functions
    * 'Fixed-point fractional library routines' ca. 300 functions

thanks to @Vexu for multiple reviews and @scheibo for review

a024aff932 make f80 less hacky; lower as u80 on non-x86
Get rid of `std.math.F80Repr`. Instead of trying to match the memory
layout of f80, we treat it as a value, same as the other floating point
types. The functions `make_f80` and `break_f80` are introduced to
compose an f80 value out of its parts, and the inverse operation.

stage2 LLVM backend: fix pointer to zero length array tripping LLVM
assertion. It now checks for when the element type is a zero-bit type
and lowers such thing the same way that pointers to other zero-bit types
are lowered.

Both stage1 and stage2 LLVM backends are adjusted so that f80 is lowered
as x86_fp80 on x86_64 and i386 architectures, and identical to a u80 on
others. LLVM constants are lowered in a less hacky way now that #10860
is fixed, by using the expression `(exp << 64) | fraction` using llvm
constants.

Sema is improved to handle c_longdouble by recursively handling it
correctly for whatever the float bit width is. In both stage1 and
stage2.
