142471fcc4 zig build system: change target, compilation, and module APIs
Introduce the concept of "target query" and "resolved target". A target
query is what the user specifies, with some things left to default. A
resolved target has the default things discovered and populated.
In the future, std.zig.CrossTarget will be rename to std.Target.Query.
Introduces `std.Build.resolveTargetQuery` to get from one to the other.

The concept of `main_mod_path` is gone, no longer supported. You have to
put the root source file at the module root now.

* remove deprecated API
* update build.zig for the breaking API changes in this branch
* move std.Build.Step.Compile.BuildId to std.zig.BuildId
* add more options to std.Build.ExecutableOptions, std.Build.ObjectOptions,
  std.Build.SharedLibraryOptions, std.Build.StaticLibraryOptions, and
  std.Build.TestOptions.
* remove `std.Build.constructCMacro`. There is no use for this API.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacro`. Instead,
  `std.Build.Module.addCMacro` is provided.
  - remove `std.Build.Step.Compile.defineCMacroRaw`.
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkNeeded`
  - use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* deprecate `std.Build.Step.Compile.linkFrameworkWeak`
  - use `std.Build.Module.linkFramework`
* move more logic into `std.Build.Module`
* allow `target` and `optimize` to be `null` when creating a Module.
  Along with other fields, those unspecified options will be inherited
  from parent `Module` when inserted into an import table.
* the `target` field of `addExecutable` is now required. pass `b.host`
  to get the host target.

60eabc0eca std.Build.CompileStep: remove run() and install()
These functions are problematic in light of dependencies because they
run and install, respectively, for the *owner* package rather than for
the *user* package. By removing these functions, the build script is
forced to provide the *Build object to associate the new step with,
making everything less surprising.

Unfortunately, this is a widely breaking change.

see #15079

e122cd6312 new linker test harness
It's simpler and it takes advantage of
`std.Build.addAnonymousDependency`, which has a number of benefits,
including concurrenc and preventing extra zig-cache and zig-out
directories being created.

4 tests are ported over as an example.

I've been wanting to do this for along time.
