This commit enables producing 64-bit DWARF format for Zig executables that are produced through the LLVM backend. This is achieved by exposing both command-line flags and CompileStep flags. The production of the 64-bit format only affects binaries that use the DWARF format and it is disabled on MacOS due to it being problematic. This commit, despite generating the interface for the Zig user to be able to tell the compile which format is wanted, is just implemented for the LLVM backend, so clang and the self-hosted backends will need this to be implemented in a future commit. This is an effort to work around #7962, since the emission of the 64-bit format automatically produces 64-bit relocations. Further investigation will be needed to make DWARF 32-bit format to emit bigger relocations when needed and not make the linker angry.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
