Reversal on the decision: the Allocator interface is the correct place
for the memset to undefined because it allows Allocator implementations
to bypass the interface and use a backing allocator directly, skipping
the performance penalty of memsetting the entire allocation, which may
be very large, as well as having valuable zeroes on them.

I don't think these belong in std, at least not in their current form.
If someone wants to add these back I'd like to review the patch before
it lands.

This one changes the size of an allocation, allowing it to be relocated.
However, the implementation will still return `null` if it would be
equivalent to
new = alloc
memcpy(new, old)
free(old)
Mainly this prepares for taking advantage of `mremap` which I thought
would be a bigger deal but apparently is only available on Linux. Still,
we should use it on Linux.
no longer causes compilation failure.
This also addresses the problem of high map count causing OOM by
choosing a page size of 2MiB for most targets when the page_size_max is
smaller than this number.
This allocator now supports alignments greater than page size, with the
same implementation as it used before.
This is a partial revert of ceb0a632cfd6a4eada6bd27bf6a3754e95dcac86.
It looks like VirtualAlloc2 has better solutions to this problem,
including features such as MEM_RESERVE_PLACEHOLDER and MEM_LARGE_PAGES.
This possibility can be investigated as a follow-up task.
This keeps the implementation matching master branch, however,
introduces a compile error that applications can work around by
explicitly setting page_size_max and page_size_min to match their
computer's settings, in the case that those values are not already
equal.
I plan to rework this allocator in a follow-up enhancement with the goal
of reducing total active memory mappings.
* fix merge conflicts
* rename the declarations
* reword documentation
* extract FixedBufferAllocator to separate file
* take advantage of locals
* remove the assertion about max alignment in Allocator API, leaving it
Allocator implementation defined
* fix non-inline function call in start logic
The GeneralPurposeAllocator implementation is totally broken because it
uses global state but I didn't address that in this commit.
heap.zig: define new default page sizes
heap.zig: add min/max_page_size and their options
lib/std/c: add miscellaneous declarations
heap.zig: add pageSize() and its options
switch to new page sizes, especially in GPA/stdlib
mem.zig: remove page_size
The spec is ambiguous, and it's too late to change it.
So the most reasonable thing to do in order to avoid generating
strings that could be parsed differently by other implementations
is to forbid parameters named "v" at compile-time.

This came with a big cleanup to `Zcu.PerThread.updateFile` (formerly
`astGenFile`).
Also, change how the cache manifest works for files in the import table.
Instead of being added to the manifest when we call `semaFile` on them,
we iterate the import table after running the AstGen workers and add all
the files to the cache manifest then.
The downside is that this is a bit more eager to include files in the
manifest; in particular, files which are imported but not actually
referenced are now included in analysis. So, for instance, modifying any
standard library file will invalidate all Zig compilations using that
standard library, even if they don't use that file.
The original motivation here was simply that the old logic in `semaFile`
didn't translate nicely to ZON. However, it turns out to actually be
necessary for correctness. Because `@import("foo.zig")` is an
AstGen-level error if `foo.zig` does not exist, we need to invalidate
the cache when an imported but unreferenced file is removed to make sure
this error is triggered when it needs to be.

The ZON PR (#20271) is causing these tests to inexplicably fail. It
doesn't seem like that PR is what's breaking GPA, so these tests are now
disabled. This is tracked by #22731.
This commit allows using ZON (Zig Object Notation) in a few ways.
* `@import` can be used to load ZON at comptime and convert it to a
normal Zig value. In this case, `@import` must have a result type.
* `std.zon.parse` can be used to parse ZON at runtime, akin to the
parsing logic in `std.json`.
* `std.zon.stringify` can be used to convert arbitrary data structures
to ZON at runtime, again akin to `std.json`.
This commit effectively reverts 9e683f0, and hence un-accepts #19777.
While nice in theory, this proposal turned out to have a few problems.
Firstly, supplying a result type implicitly coerces the operand to this
type -- that's the main point of result types! But for `try`, this is
actually a bad idea; we want a redundant `try` to be a compile error,
not to silently coerce the non-error value to an error union. In
practice, this didn't always happen, because the implementation was
buggy anyway; but when it did, it was really quite silly. For instance,
`try try ... try .{ ... }` was an accepted expression, with the inner
initializer being initially coerced to `E!E!...E!T`.
Secondly, the result type inference here didn't play nicely with
`return`. If you write `return try`, the operand would actually receive
a result type of `E!E!T`, since the `return` gave a result type of `E!T`
and the `try` wrapped it in *another* error union. More generally, the
problem here is that `try` doesn't know when it should or shouldn't
nest error unions. This occasionally broke code which looked like it
should work.
So, this commit prevents `try` from propagating result types through to
its operand. A key motivation for the original proposal here was decl
literals; so, as a special case, `try .foo(...)` is still an allowed
syntax form, caught by AstGen and specially lowered. This does open the
doors to allowing other special cases for decl literals in future, such
as `.foo(...) catch ...`, but those proposals are for another time.
