* Take advantage of coercing anonymous struct literals to struct types.
* Reworks Module to favor Zig source as the primary use case.
Breaks ZIR compilation, which will have to be restored in a future commit.
* Decl uses src_index rather then src, pointing to an AST Decl node
index, or ZIR Module Decl index, rather than a byte offset.
* ZIR instructions have an `analyzed_inst` field instead of Module
having a hash table.
* Module.Fn loses the `fn_type` field since it is redundant with
its `owner_decl` `TypedValue` type.
* Implement Type and Value copying. A ZIR Const instruction's TypedValue
is copied to the Decl arena during analysis, which allows freeing the
ZIR text instructions post-analysis.
* Don't flush the ELF file if there are compilation errors.
* Function return types allow arbitrarily complex expressions.
* AST->ZIR for function calls and return statements.
* Introduce the concept of anonymous Decls
* Primitive Hello, World with inline asm works
* There is still an unsolved problem of how to manage ZIR instructions
memory when generating from AST. Currently it leaks.
One of the main motivating use cases for this language feature is
tracing/profiling tools, which expect null-terminated strings for these
values. Since the data is statically allocated, making them
additionally null-terminated comes at no cost.
This prevents the requirement of compile-time code to convert to
null-termination, which could increase the compilation time of
code with tracing enabled.

- stderr_file_writer was unused
- stderr_stream was a pointer to a stream, rather than a stream
- other functions assumed that getStderrStream has already been called
Start implementing https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4917 which is to rename instream/outstream to reader/writer. This first change allows code to use Writer/writer instead of OutStream/outStream, but still maintains the old outstream names with "Deprecated" comments.
The AddressList returned can contain more than one item
e.g. the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses for a given hostname.
Previously if a server had multiple addresses but
was not listening on one of them Zig would give up
immediately.
Now on std.os.ConnectError.ConnectionRefused Zig will
try the next address in the list. Zig still gives up on
all other errors as they are related to the system and
system resources rather than whether the remote server
is listening on a particular address.
ERROR_DIRECTORY (267) is returned from kernel32.RemoveDirectoryW if the path is not a directory. Note also that os.DirectDirError already includes NotDir
Before: error.Unexpected: GetLastError(267): The directory name is invalid.
After: error: NotDir
* improve docs
* add TODO comments for things that don't have open issues
* remove redundant namespacing of struct fields
* guard against ioctl returning EINTR
* remove the general std.os.ioctl function in favor of the specific
ioctl_SIOCGIFINDEX function. This allows us to have a more precise
error set, and more type-safe API.
