* Slices from C pointers are no longer allowzero but instead insert a runtime assertion.
* Added a test, fixed code for cases with non-allowzero C pointers
* Create new type when flipping allow_zero, sometimes we get a cached value back from adjust_ptr_len.
* Added comments, changed panic message
* Added runtime safety test.
* re-introduce `std.build.Target` which is distinct from `std.Target`.
`std.build.Target` wraps `std.Target` so that it can be annotated as
"the native target" or an explicitly specified target.
* `std.Target.Os` is moved to `std.Target.Os.Tag`. The former is now a
struct which has the tag as well as version range information.
* `std.elf` gains some more ELF header constants.
* `std.Target.parse` gains the ability to parse operating system
version ranges as well as glibc version.
* Added `std.Target.isGnuLibC()`.
* self-hosted dynamic linker detection and glibc version detection.
This also adds the improved logic using `/usr/bin/env` rather than
invoking the system C compiler to find the dynamic linker when zig
is statically linked. Related: #2084
Note: this `/usr/bin/env` code is work-in-progress.
* `-target-glibc` CLI option is removed in favor of the new `-target`
syntax. Example: `-target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.27`
closes#1907
* Correctly fold ptrToInt on optional types
* Generate null as ConstPtrSpecialNull in intToPtr
* Correctly stop ptrToInt on ?*T where T is zero-sized

This is set up so that if we wish to make "baseline" depend on the
OS in the future, it is possible to do that.
When the build.zig logic to build libzigstage2 was converted to a cmake
command, it neglected to use baseline CPU features rather than compiling
with native features.
This adds a hard coded flag `-mcpu=baseline` which can be used to detect
the native target, but mark it as non-native so that it does not get the
CPU features specific to the host used to compile libzigstage2.
Full `-mcpu` support is happening in the upcoming pull request #4509,
and so this "quick fix" will be cleaned up in that branch, before it is
merged to master.

in favor of CPU features. Also rearrange the `std.Target`
data structure.
* note: `@import("builtin")` was already deprecated in favor of
`@import("std").builtin`.
* `std.builtin.arch` is now deprecated in favor of
`std.builtin.cpu.arch`.
* `std.Target.CpuFeatures.Cpu` is now `std.Target.Cpu.Model`.
* `std.Target.CpuFeatures` is now `std.Target.Cpu`.
* `std.Target` no longer has an `arch` field. Instead it has a
`cpu` field, which has `arch`, `model`, and `features`.
* `std.Target` no longer has a `cpu_features` field.
* `std.Target.Arch` is moved to `std.Target.Cpu.Arch` and
it is an enum instead of a tagged union.
* `std.Target.parseOs` is moved to `std.Target.Os.parse`.
* `std.Target.parseAbi` is moved to `std.Target.Abi.parse`.
* `std.Target.parseArchSub` is only for arch now and moved
to `std.Target.Cpu.Arch.parse`.
* `std.Target.parse` is improved to accept CPU name and features.
* `std.Target.Arch.getBaselineCpuFeatures` is moved to
`std.Target.Cpu.baseline`.
* `std.Target.allCpus` is renamed to `std.Target.allCpuModels`.
* `std.Target.defaultAbi` is moved to `std.Target.Abi.default`.
* Significant cleanup of aarch64 and arm CPU features, resulting in
the needed bit count for cpu feature set going from 174 to 138.
* Add `std.Target.Cpu.Feature.Set.addFeatureSet` for merging
feature sets together.
`-target-feature` and `-target-cpu` are removed in favor of
`-mcpu`, to conform to established conventions, and it gains
additional power to support cpu features. The syntax is:
-mcpu=name+on1+on2-off1-off2
