d97042ad2e std.Build: start using the cache system with RunStep
* Use std.Build.Cache.Directory instead of a string for storing the
   cache roots and build roots.
 * Set up a std.Build.Cache in build_runner.zig and use it in
   std.Build.RunStep for avoiding redundant work.

2654d0c668 std.Build.RunStep: introduce addOutputFileArg API
This provides file path as a command line argument to the command being
run, and returns a FileSource which can be used as inputs to other APIs
throughout the build system.

Unfortunately, it is implemented by pooping a ton of temporary files
into zig-cache/tmp for the time being. I think one of the very next
improvements to the build system should be moving the compiler's cache
system to the standard library and using it in the build system. I had a
look at the dependencies and it is already pretty untangled.

90e48d4b34 std.Build: avoid use of catch unreachable
Usage of `catch unreachable` in build scripts is completely harmless
because build scripts are always run in Debug mode, however, it sets a
poor example for beginners to learn from.

16cdd1297e rename std.Build.LibExeObjStep to std.Build.CompileStep
This matches the nomenclature internally: a Compilation is the main type
that represents a single invokation of the compiler.

36e2d992dd combine std.build and std.build.Builder into std.Build
I've been wanting to do this for along time.
