see #383
there is a plan to unify most of the reflection into 2
builtin functions, as outlined in the above issue,
but this gives us needed features for now, and we can
iterate on the design in future commits

Fixes: #517
I added a few things to allow zig to link with the CRT properly both statically and dynamically. In Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft changed how the c-runtime is factored again. With this change, they also added a COM interface to allow you to query the respective Visual Studio instance for two of them. This does that and also falls back on a registry query for 2015 support. If you're using a Visual Studio instance older than 2015, you'll have to use the existing options available with the zig compiler. Changes are listed below along with a general description of the changes.
all_types.cpp:
The separate variables for msvc/kern32 have been removed and all win32 libc directory paths have been combined into a ZigList since we're querying more than two directories and differentiating one from another doesn't matter to lld.
analyze.cpp:
The existing functions were extended to support querying libc libs & libc headers at runtime.
codegen.cpp/hpp:
Microsoft uses the new 'Universal C Runtime' name now. Doesn't matter from a functionality standpoint. I left the compiler switches as is to not introduce any breaking changes.
link.cpp:
We're linking 4 libs and generating another in order to support the UCRT.
Dynamic: msvcrt/d, vcruntime/d, ucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
Static: libcmt/d, libvcruntime/d libucrt/d, legacy_stdio_definitions.lib
main.cpp:
Update function call names.
os.cpp/hpp:
COM/Registry interface for querying Windows UCRT/SDK.

With Windows line endings, which seems to be the default on Windows, the
zig compiler won't understand std out of the box. This project should
not rely on git's global core.autocrlf setting.
* Merge io.InStream and io.OutStream into io.File
* Introduce io.OutStream and io.InStream interfaces
- io.File implements both of these
* Move mem.IncrementingAllocator to heap.IncrementingAllocator
Instead of:
```
%return std.io.stderr.printf("hello\n");
```
now do:
```
std.debug.warn("hello\n");
```
To print to stdout, see `io.getStdOut()`.
* Rename std.ArrayList.resizeDown to std.ArrayList.shrink.
normally we want to use llvm types for constants. but
union constants (which are found inside enums) when
they are initialized with the non-most-aligned-member
must be unnamed structs.
these bubble up to all aggregate types. if a constant of
an aggregate type contains, recursively, a union constant
with a non-most-aligned-member initialized, the aggregate
typed constant must be unnamed too.
this fixes some of the asserts that were coming in from
llvm master branch.
the optimizer was deleting compiler_rt symbols, so I changed
the linkage type from LinkOnce to Weak
also changed LinkOnce to mean linkonce_odr in llvm and
Weak to mean weak_odr in llvm.

previously we did linear search to find existing global
declarations; now we index using a hash map.
building tetris went from taking 5.3 sec to 0.76 sec
