std.Build.addTest creates a CompileStep as before, however, this kind of step no longer actually runs the unit tests. Instead it only compiles it, and one must additionally create a RunStep from the CompileStep in order to actually run the tests. RunStep gains integration with the default test runner, which now supports the standard --listen=- argument in order to communicate over stdin and stdout. It also reports test statistics; how many passed, failed, and leaked, as well as directly associating the relevant stderr with the particular test name that failed. This separation of CompileStep and RunStep means that `CompileStep.Kind.test_exe` is no longer needed, and therefore has been removed in this commit. * build runner: show unit test statistics in build summary * added Step.writeManifest since many steps want to treat it as a warning and emit the same message if it fails. * RunStep: fixed error message that prints the failed command printing the original argv and not the adjusted argv in case an interpreter was used. * RunStep: fixed not passing the command line arguments to the interpreter. * move src/Server.zig to std.zig.Server so that the default test runner can use it. * the simpler test runner function which is used by work-in-progress backends now no longer prints to stderr, which is necessary in order for the build runner to not print the stderr as a warning message.

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.
