instead of node indexes.
* AstGen: dbg_stmt instructions now have line and column indexes,
relative to the parent declaration. This allows codegen to emit debug
info without having the source bytes, tokens, or AST nodes loaded
in memory.
* ZIR: each decl has the absolute line number. This allows computing
line numbers from offsets without consulting source code bytes.
Memory management: creating a function definition does not prematurely
set the Decl arena. Instead the function is allocated with the general
purpose allocator.
Codegen no longer looks at source code bytes for any reason. They can
remain unloaded from disk.

I had resolved those by removing `comptime` but master branch decided to
make the parameters `comptime`.
This also pulls in the updated default `zig build` install directory.
* AstGen: LocalVal and LocalPtr use string table indexes for their
names. This is more efficient because local variable declarations do
need to include the variable names so that semantic analysis can emit
a compile error if a declaration is shadowed. So we take advantage of
this fact by comparing string table indexes when resolving names.
* The arg ZIR instructions are needed for the above reasoning, as well
as to emit equivalent AIR instructions for debug info.
Now that we have these arg instructions, get rid of the special
`Zir.Inst.Ref` range for parameters. ZIR instructions now refer
to the arg instructions for parameters.
* Move identAsString and strLitAsString from Module.GenZir to AstGen
where they belong.
stage1 did this by accident by unconditionally semantically analyzing
std.builtin.panic, which imports the root source file to look for a
panic handler override. But stage2 is smarter; it will only semantically
analyze std.builtin.panic if any panic calls are emitted. So for very
simple compilations, the root source file was being ignored, even if it
contained `export` functions in it.
Before there was this "top_decl" and "tmp_namespace" stack values that
were kludgy and buggy. Now Sema is slightly reworked so that files which
are structs are analyzed with their own Decl and Namespace already set
up.
After this commit there are no memory leaks for a successful build-obj.
Two problems solved:
* The Decl name may be allocated with gpa or it may be a reference to
the ZIR string table.
* The main update() function was freeing the ZIR when we still had
Decl objects referencing it.
Currently the default install prefix is $BUILD_ROOT/zig-cache,
but mixing cache and artifacts makes little sense. Instead make
$BUILD_ROOT/zig-out the default.
* AstGen: add missing `break_inline` for comptime blocks.
* Module: call getTree() in byteOffset(). This generates the AST when
using cached ZIR and compile errors need to be reported.
* Scope.File: distinguish between successful ZIR generation and AIR
generation (when Decls in scope have been scanned).
- `semaFile` correctly avoids doing work twice.
* Implement first pass at `lookupInNamespace`. It has various TODOs
left, such as `usingnamespace`, and setting up Decl dependencies.
We do this by reserving string table indexes 0 and 1 in ZIR to be
special. Decls now have 0 to mean comptime or usingnamespace, and 1 to
mean an unnamed test decl.
Should be good enough to unblock progress on the stage2 compiler.
Unifying this parser and the regular one (and perhaps rewrite it, #2207)
is left as an exercise for the reader.
