Also remove an incorrect piece of logic which allowed fetching the 'len'
property on non-single-ptrs (e.g. many-ptrs) and add a corresponding
compile error test case.
Resolves: #4765
There are now very few stage1 cases remaining:
* `cases/compile_errors/stage1/obj/*` currently don't work correctly on
stage2. There are 6 of these, and most of them are probably fairly
simple to fix.
* `cases/compile_errors/async/*` and all remaining `safety/*` depend on
async; see #6025.

commit 3204d00a5e7fe119b690e921138a439fb84dff5b intended to move this
passing test case from stage1 folder but it was accidentally changed to
have identical contents as a different test case instead.
Fortunately, the test case has not regressed, so I simply replaced it
with the intended test from before.
Instead of using `zig test` to build a special version of the compiler
that runs all the test-cases, the zig build system is now used as much
as possible - all with the basic steps found in the standard library.
For incremental compilation tests (the ones that look like foo.0.zig,
foo.1.zig, foo.2.zig, etc.), a special version of the compiler is
compiled into a utility executable called "check-case" which checks
exactly one sequence of incremental updates in an independent
subprocess. Previously, all incremental and non-incremental test cases
were done in the same test runner process.
The compile error checking code is now simpler, but also a bit
rudimentary, and so it additionally makes sure that the actual compile
errors do not include *extra* messages, and it makes sure that the
actual compile errors output in the same order as expected. It is also
based on the "ends-with" property of each line rather than the previous
logic, which frankly I didn't want to touch with a ten-meter pole. The
compile error test cases have been updated to pass in light of these
differences.
Previously, 'error' mode with 0 compile errors was used to shoehorn in a
different kind of test-case - one that only checks if a piece of code
compiles without errors. Now there is a 'compile' mode of test-cases,
and 'error' must be only used when there are greater than 0 errors.
link test cases are updated to omit the target object format argument
when calling checkObject since that is no longer needed.
The test/stage2 directory is removed; the 2 files within are moved to be
directly in the test/ directory.
With this change, `break` and `break :blk` will fill the result location
with `.void_value`, ensuring that the value will be type checked.
The same will happen for a for loop that contains no `break`s in it's body.
