This commit contains everything from the copy-elision-2
branch that does not have to do with copy elision directly,
but is generally useful for master branch.
* All const values know their parents, when applicable, not
just structs and unions.
* Null pointers in const values are represented explicitly,
rather than as a HardCodedAddr value of 0.
* Rename "maybe" to "optional" in various code locations.
* Separate DeclVarSrc and DeclVarGen
* Separate PtrCastSrc and PtrCastGen
* Separate CmpxchgSrc and CmpxchgGen
* Represent optional error set as an integer, using the 0 value.
In a const value, it uses nullptr.
* Introduce type_has_one_possible_value and use it where applicable.
* Fix debug builds not setting memory to 0xaa when storing
undefined.
* Separate the type of a variable from the const value of a variable.
* Use copy_const_val where appropriate.
* Rearrange structs to pack data more efficiently.
* Move test/cases/* to test/behavior/*
* Use `std.debug.assertOrPanic` in behavior tests instead of
`std.debug.assert`.
* Fix outdated slice syntax in docs.
* bitreverse - give bswap behavior
* bitreverse, comptime_ints, negative values still not working?
* bitreverse working for negative comptime ints
* Finished bitreverse test cases
* Undo exporting a bigint function. @bitreverse test name includes ampersand
* added docs entry for @bitreverse
* add `@bswap` builtin function. See #767
* comptime evaluation facilities are improved to be able to
handle a `@ptrCast` with a backing array.
* `@truncate` allows "truncating" a u0 value to any integer
type, and the result is always comptime known to be `0`.
* when specifying pointer alignment in a type expression,
the alignment value of pointers which do not have addresses
at runtime is ignored, and always has the default/ABI alignment
* threw in a fix to freebsd/x86_64.zig to update syntax from
language changes
* some improvements are pending #863closes#638closes#1733

We were caching the ConstExprValue of string literals,
which works if you can never modify ConstExprValues.
This premise is broken with `comptime var ...`.
So I implemented an optimization in ConstExprValue
arrays, where it stores a `Buf *` directly rather
than an array of ConstExprValues for the elements,
and then similar to array of undefined, it is
expanded into the canonical form when necessary.
However many operations can happen directly on the
`Buf *`, which is faster.
Furthermore, before a ConstExprValue array is expanded
into canonical form, it removes itself from the string
literal cache. This fixes the issue, because before an
array element is modified it would have to be expanded.

The union was generated as a 3 byte struct when it needed to be
4 bytes so that the packed struct bitcast could work correctly.
Now it recognizes this situation and adds padding bytes to become
the correct size so that it can fit into an array.
previously, await on an early return would try to access the
destroyed coroutine frame; now it copies the result into a
temporary variable before destroying the coroutine frame
LLVM 5.0.1, 6.0.0, and trunk crash when attempting to optimize coroutine code.
So, Zig does not support ReleaseFast or ReleaseSafe for coroutines yet.
Luckily, Clang users are running into the same crashes, so folks from the LLVM
community are working on fixes. If we're really lucky they'll be fixed in 6.0.1.
Otherwise we can hope for 7.0.0.

regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
