Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.
This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.
However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.
Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:
Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.

`std.mem.Allocator.createOne` is renamed to `std.mem.Allocator.create`.
The problem with the previous API is that even after copy elision,
the initalization value passed as a parameter would always be a copy.
With the new API, once copy elision is done, initialization
functions can directly initialize allocated memory in place.

This adds another boolean to the test matrix; hopefully it does not
inflate the time too much.
std.event.Loop does not work with this option yet. See #1908
See #770

This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
also reduce the aggressiveness of std.atomic.stack
and std.atomic.queue fuzz testing. appveyor has 1 core
and 10,000 iterations is too much for 6 threads to
thrash over
* remove std.os.spawnThreadAllocator - windows does not support
an explicit stack, so using an allocator for a thread stack
space does not work.
* std.os.spawnThread - instead of accepting a stack argument, the
implementation will directly allocate using OS-specific APIs.
