When the build.zig logic to build libzigstage2 was converted to a cmake
command, it neglected to use baseline CPU features rather than compiling
with native features.
This adds a hard coded flag `-mcpu=baseline` which can be used to detect
the native target, but mark it as non-native so that it does not get the
CPU features specific to the host used to compile libzigstage2.
Full `-mcpu` support is happening in the upcoming pull request #4509,
and so this "quick fix" will be cleaned up in that branch, before it is
merged to master.

This was deceptive. It was always meant to be sort of a "GNU readline"
sort of thing where it provides a Command Line Interface to input text.
However that functionality did not exist and it was basically a red
herring for people trying to read line-delimited input from a stream.
In this commit the API is deleted, so that people can find the proper
API more easily.
A CLI text input abstraction would be useful but may not even need to be
in the standard library. As you can see in this commit, the guess_number
CLI game gets by just fine by using `std.fs.File.read`.
The current target's ABI cannot be relied on for this.
For example, we may build the zig compiler for target
riscv64-linux-musl and provide a tarball for users to
download. A user could then run that zig compiler on
riscv64-linux-gnu. This use case is well-defined and
supported by Zig. But that means that we must detect
the system ABI here rather than
relying on `std.Target.current`.
Some C compilers, such as Clang, are known to rely on
argv[0] to find the path to their own executable,
without even bothering to resolve PATH. This results
in the message:
error: unable to execute command: Executable "" doesn't exist!
So we tell ChildProcess to expand argv[0] to the absolute path
to give them a helping hand.
when both `--cache on` and `--output-dir` parameters
are provided. This prevents re-linking `zig` with every
`make` even when `libzigstage2.a` was unchanged.
