* error return tracing is disabled in release-fast mode
* add @errorReturnTrace
* zig build API changes build return type from `void` to `%void`
* allow `void`, `noreturn`, and `u8` from main. closes#535
* better error message for realpath failing
* fix bug in std.io.readFileAllocExtra incorrectly returning
error.EndOfStream
* implement std.os.selfExePath and std.os.selfExeDirPath for windows
Before:
* IR basic blocks are in arbitrary order
* when doing an IR pass, when a block is encountered, code
must look at all the instructions in the old basic block,
determine what blocks are referenced, and queue up those
old basic blocks first.
* This had a bug (See #667)
Now:
* IR basic blocks are required to be in an order that guarantees
they will be referenced by a branch, before any instructions
within are referenced.
ir pass1 is updated to meet this constraint.
* When doing an IR pass, we iterate over old basic blocks
in the order they appear. Blocks which have not been
referenced are discarded.
* After the pass is complete, we must iterate again to look
for old basic blocks which now point to incomplete new
basic blocks, due to comptime code generation.
* This last part can probably be optimized - most of the time
we don't need to iterate over the basic block again.

...field to const slice parameter
we use a packed struct internally to represent a const array
of disparate union values, and needed to update the internal
getelementptr instruction to recognize that.

regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
introduces the `@export` builtin function which can be used
in a comptime block to conditionally export a function.
it also allows creation of aliases.
previous export syntax is still allowed.
