The new `@depedencies` module contains generated code like the
following (where strings like "abc123" represent hashes):
```zig
pub const root_deps = [_]struct { []const u8, []const u8 }{
.{ "foo", "abc123" },
};
pub const packages = struct {
pub const abc123 = struct {
pub const build_root = "/home/mlugg/.cache/zig/blah/abc123";
pub const build_zig = @import("abc123");
pub const deps = [_]struct { []const u8, []const u8 }{
.{ "bar", "abc123" },
.{ "name", "ghi789" },
};
};
};
```
Each package contains a build root string, the build.zig import, and a
mapping from dependency names to package hashes. There is also such a
mapping for the root package dependencies.
In theory, we could now remove the `dep_prefix` field from `std.Build`,
since its main purpose is now handled differently. I believe this is a
desirable goal, as it doesn't really make sense to assign a single FQN
to any package (because it may appear in many different places in the
package hierarchy). This commit does not remove that field, as it's used
non-trivially in a few places in the build runner and compiler tests:
this will be a future enhancement.
