This is a reimplementation of Io.Threaded that fixes the issues
highlighted in the recent Zulip discussion. It's poorly tested but it
does successfully run to completion the litmust test example that I
offered in the discussion.
This implementation has the following key design decisions:
- `t.cpu_count` is used as the threadpool size.
- `t.concurrency_limit` is used as the maximum number of
"burst, one-shot" threads that can be spawned by `io.concurrent` past
`t.cpu_count`.
- `t.available_thread_count` is the number of threads in the pool that
is not currently busy with work (the bookkeeping happens in the worker
function).
- `t.one_shot_thread_count` is the number of active threads that were
spawned by `io.concurrent` past `t.cpu_count`.
In this implementation:
- `io.async` first tries to decrement `t.available_thread_count`. If
there are no threads available, it tries to spawn a new one if possible,
otherwise it runs the task immediately.
- `io.concurrent` first tries to use a thread in the pool same as
`io.async`, but on failure (no available threads and pool size limit
reached) it tries to spawn a new one-shot thread. One shot threads
run a different main function that just executes one task, decrements
the number of active one shot threads, and then exits.
A relevant future improvement is to have one-shot threads stay on for a
few seconds (and potentially pick up a new task) to amortize spawning
costs.
I would like a chance to review this before it lands, please. Feel free
to submit the work again without changes and I will make review
comments.
In the meantime, these reverts avoid intermittent CI failures, and
remove bad patterns from occurring in the standard library that other
users might copy.

This is relevant to PIEs, which are notably enabled by default on macOS.
The build system needs to only see virtual addresses, that is, those
which do not have the slide applied; but the fuzzer itself naturally
sees relocated addresses (i.e. with the slide applied). We just need to
subtract the slide when we communicate addresses to the build system.
Like ELF, we now have `std.debug.MachOFile` for the host-independent
parts, and `std.debug.SelfInfo.MachO` for logic requiring the file to
correspond to the running program.
When reporting a compile error, we would load the new file, but assume
we could apply old AST/token indices (etc) to it, potentially causing
crashes. Instead, if the file stat has changed since it was loaded, just
emit an error that the file was modified mid-update.
This has no business being here. Tests for our compiler-rt routines should be in
compiler-rt, and tests for our C ABI compliance should be in `test-c-abi`.
