breaking changes to zig build API and improved caching
* in Zig build scripts, getOutputPath() is no longer a valid function
   to call, unless setOutputDir() was used, or within a custom make()
   function. Instead there is more convenient API to use which takes
   advantage of the caching system. Search this commit diff for
   `exe.run()` for an example.
 * Zig build by default enables caching. All build artifacts will go
   into zig-cache. If you want to access build artifacts in a convenient
   location, it is recommended to add an `install` step. Otherwise
   you can use the `run()` API mentioned above to execute programs
   directly from their location in the cache. Closes #330.
   `addSystemCommand` is available for programs not built with Zig
   build.
 * Please note that Zig does no cache evicting yet. You may have to
   manually delete zig-cache directories periodically to keep disk
   usage down. It's planned for this to be a simple Least Recently
   Used eviction system eventually.
 * `--output`, `--output-lib`, and `--output-h` are removed. Instead,
   use `--output-dir` which defaults to the current working directory.
   Or take advantage of `--cache on`, which will print the main output
   path to stdout, and the other artifacts will be in the same directory
   with predictable file names. `--disable-gen-h` is available when
   one wants to prevent .h file generation.
 * `@cImport` is always independently cached now. Closes #2015.
   It always writes the generated Zig code to disk which makes debug
   info and compile errors better. No more "TODO: remember C source
   location to display here"
 * Fix .d file parsing. (Fixes the MacOS CI failure)
 * Zig no longer creates "temporary files" other than inside a
   zig-cache directory.

This breaks the CLI API that Godbolt uses. The suggested new invocation
can be found in this commit diff, in the changes to `test/cli.zig`.

New Zig formal grammar (#1685)

Solve the return type ambiguity (#1628)
Changed container and initializer syntax
* <container> { ... } -> <container> . { ... }
* <exrp> { ... } -> <expr> . { ...}

fcbb7426fa use * for pointer type instead of &
See #770

To help automatically translate code, see the
zig-fmt-pointer-reform-2 branch.

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'

3671582c15 syntax: functions require return type. remove ->
The purpose of this is:

 * Only one way to do things
 * Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
   error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
   people to use errors.

See #632

Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:

remove arrow:

```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```

add void:

```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```

Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
