* add target_util.zig which has ported code from src/target.cpp
* Module gains an arena that owns memory used during initialization
that has the same lifetime as the Module. Useful for constructing
file paths and lists of strings that have mixed lifetimes.
- The Module memory itself is allocated in this arena. init/deinit
are modified to be create/destroy.
- root_name moves to the arena and no longer needs manual free
* implement the ability to invoke `zig clang` as a subprocess
- there are lots of TODOs that should be solved before merging
* Module now requires a Random object and zig_lib_dir
* Module now requires a path to its own executable or any zig
executable that can do `zig clang`.
* Wire up more CLI options.
* Module creates "zig-cache" directory and "tmp" and "o" subdirectories
("h" is created by the cache_hash)
* stubbed out some of the things linker code needs to do with TODO
prints
* delete dead code for computing compiler id. the previous commit
eliminated the need for it.
* add `zig translate-c` CLI option but it's not fully hooked up yet.
It should be possible for this to be fully wired up before merging
this branch.
* `zig targets` now uses canonical data for available_libcs
* build.zig: repair the ability to link against llvm, clang, and lld
* move the zig cc arg parsing logic to stage2
- the preprocessor flag is still TODO
- the clang arg iterator code is improved to use slices instead of
raw pointers because it no longer has to deal with an extern
struct.
* clean up error printing with a `fatal` function and use log API
for messages rather than std.debug.print
* add support for more CLI options to stage2 & update usage text
- hooking up most of these new options is TODO
* clean up the way libc and libc++ are detected via command line
options. target information is used to determine if any of the libc
candidate names are chosen.
* add native library directory detection
* implement the ability to invoke clang from stage2
* introduce a build_options.have_llvm so we can comptime branch
on whether LLVM is linked in or not.
We still want this compile error but I'm giving up on implementing it
correctly in stage1. It's been buggy and has false positives sometimes.
I left the test cases there, but commented out, so that when we go
through the stage1 compile error cases and get coverage for them in
stage2 we can reactivate the test cases.

It wasn't wrong info, but e.g. GDB couldn't handle non-power-of-two
enum tags. Now we tell debug info that enum tags are always power of two
size.

This makes `@returnAddress()` return 0 for WebAssembly (when not using
the Emscripten OS) and avoids trying to capture stack traces for the
general purpose allocator on that target.
`std.GeneralPurposeAllocator` is now available. It is a function that
takes a configuration struct (with default field values) and returns an
allocator. There is a detailed description of this allocator in the
doc comments at the top of the new file.
The main feature of this allocator is that it is *safe*. It
prevents double-free, use-after-free, and detects leaks.
Some deprecation compile errors are removed.
The Allocator interface gains `old_align` as a new parameter to
`resizeFn`. This is useful to quickly look up allocations.
`std.heap.page_allocator` is improved to use mmap address hints to avoid
obtaining the same virtual address pages when unmapping and mapping
pages. The new general purpose allocator uses the page allocator as its
backing allocator by default.
`std.testing.allocator` is replaced with usage of this new allocator,
which does leak checking, and so the LeakCheckAllocator is retired.
stage1 is improved so that the `@typeInfo` of a pointer has a lazy value
for the alignment of the child type, to avoid false dependency loops
when dealing with pointers to async function frames.
The `std.mem.Allocator` interface is refactored to be in its own file.
`std.Mutex` now exposes the dummy mutex with `std.Mutex.Dummy`.
This allocator is great for debug mode, however it needs some work to
have better performance in release modes. The next step will be setting
up a series of tests in ziglang/gotta-go-fast and then making
improvements to the implementation.
This is an attempt to save memory when building self-hosted.

This commit makes it possible to obtain pointers to `extern` variables
at comptime.
- `ir_get_var_ptr` employs several checks to determine if the given
variable is eligible for obtaining its pointer at comptime. This
commit alters these checks to consider `extern` variables, which have
runtime values, as eligible.
- After this change, it's now possible for `render_const_val` to be
called for `extern` variables. This commit modifies
`render_const_val` to suppress the value generation for `extern`
variables.
- `do_code_gen` now creates `ZigValue::llvm_global` of `extern`
variables before iterating through module-level variables so that
other module-level variables can refer to them.
This solution is incomplete since there are several cases still
failing:
- `global_var.array[n..m]`
- `&global_var.array[i]`
- `&global_var.inner_struct.value`
- `&global_array[i]`

* bring `construct_linker_job_macho` to parity with
`construct_linker_job_elf`
* macho now sets `-error-limit`
* macho on macOS now sets `-macosx_version_min` and `-sdk_version`
to `10.13` when running `zig0`
* macho now detects when `-l` prefix is not needed
* macho on macOS detects system libraries in a case-insensitive manner
* macho now ads user-specified libraries to linker command-line args
when condition `is_native_os != true`
* re-ordered some macho args positions to match elf positions
