See #329
Supporting work:
* move std.cstr.Buffer0 to std.buffer.Buffer
* add build.zig to example/shared_library/ and add an automated test
for it
* add std.list.List.resizeDown
* improve std.os.makePath
- no longer recursive
- takes into account . and ..
* add std.os.path.isAbsolute
* add std.os.path.resolve
* reimplement std.os.path.dirname
- no longer requires an allocator
- handles edge cases correctly
* `@truncate` builtin allows casting to the same size integer.
It also performs two's complement casting between signed and
unsigned integers.
* The idiomatic way to convert between bytes and numbers is now
`mem.readInt` and `mem.writeInt` instead of an unsafe cast.
It works at compile time, is safer, and looks cleaner.
* Implicitly casting an array to a slice is allowed only if the
slice is const.
* Constant pointer values know if their memory is from a compile-
time constant value or a compile-time variable.
* Cast from [N]u8 to []T no longer allowed, but [N]u8 to []const T
still allowed.
* Fix inability to pass a mutable pointer to comptime variable at
compile-time to a function and have the function modify the
memory pointed to by the pointer.
* Add the `comptime T: type` parameter back to mem.eql. Prevents
accidentally creating instantiations for arrays.
* instead of emitting a breakpoint for a debug safety crash,
zig calls a panic function which prints an error message
and a stack trace and then calls abort.
* on freestanding OS, this panic function has a default
implementation of a simple infinite loop.
* users can override the panic implementation by providing
`pub fn panic(message: []const u8) -> unreachable { }`
* workaround for LLVM segfaulting when you try to use cold
calling convention on ARM.

See #167
Need to troubleshoot when we send 2 slices to printf. It goes
into an infinite loop.
This commit introduces 4 builtin functions:
* `@isInteger`
* `@isFloat`
* `@canImplictCast`
* `@typeName`
* comptime expression is a block expression as it should be
* fix var args when number of args passed is 0
* implement const value equality for structs
* fix indent when rendering container decl AST
* IR: prevent duplicate generation of code when it is partially
compile-time evaluated
* implement compile time struct field pointer evaluation
* fix compile time evaluation of slicing
This replaces the current generic syntax for functions and replaces
it with the concept of inline parameters.
This paves the way for the "all structs anonymous" proposal.
Closes#151.
* Introduce the concept of packages. Closes#3
* Add support for error notes.
* Introduce `@import` and `@c_import` builtin functions and
remove the `import` and `c_import` top level declarations.
* Introduce the `use` top level declaration.
* Add `--check-unused` parameter to perform semantic
analysis and codegen on all top level declarations, not
just exported ones and ones referenced by exported ones.
* Delete the root export node and add `--library` argument.
