target.Arch already supports finding the correct encoding for either
target, so being able to do the inverse has use cases for when parsing
files of an unknown target (i.e. for zar).
tools/gen_stubs.zig now cuts out the middle man and operates directly on
the libc.so ELF file. it outputs accurate .size directives for objects.
std.elf gains an STV enum.
I believe these are Linux specific so they will need to be os-gated
in `elf.zig` at some point, but I reckon it should be fine to have
them as-is right now since the ELF linker work will mainly be done
on x86-64 Linux at first.
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.
With this change zig ld can link with dynamic libraries
contained within a fat/universal file that had multiple
seperate binaries embedded within it for multi-arch
support (in macOS).
Whilst zig can still only create single-architecture
executables - the ability to link with fat libraries is
useful for cases where they are the easiest (or only)
option to link against.

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.
* `comptime const` is redundant
* don't use `extern enum`; specify a tag type.
`extern enum` is only when you need tags to alias. But aliasing tags
is a smell. I will be making a proposal shortly to remove `extern enum`
from the language.
* there is no such thing as `packed enum`.
* instead of `catch |_|`, omit the capture entirely.
* unused function definition with missing parameter name
* using `try` outside of a function or test

Will manually apply the diffs to these deleted files to the new zig
code in a followup commit.
This is direct result of review comments left by andrewrk and
daurnimator. It makes sense to map `ENOTCAPABLE` into a more generic
`error.AccessDenied`.
