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'
coro return was reading from a value that coro await was
writing to. that wasn't how it was designed to work, it
was an implementation mistake.
this commit also has some work-in-progress code for fixing
error return traces across suspend points.
* docgen supports obj_err code kind for demonstrating
errors without explicit test cases
* add documentation for `extern enum`. See #367
* remove coldcc keyword and add @setIsCold. See #661
* add compile errors for non-extern struct, enum, unions
in function signatures
* add .h file generation for extern struct, enum, unions
* error return tracing is disabled in release-fast mode
* add @errorReturnTrace
* zig build API changes build return type from `void` to `%void`
* allow `void`, `noreturn`, and `u8` from main. closes#535
* @enumTagName renamed to @tagName and it works on enums and
union-enums
* Remove the EnumTag type. Now there is only enum and union,
and the tag type of a union is always an enum.
* unions support specifying the tag enum type, and they support
inferring an enum tag type.
* Enums no longer support field types but they do support
setting the tag values. Likewise union-enums when inferring
an enum tag type support setting the tag values.
* It is now an error for enums and unions to have 0 fields.
* switch statements support union-enums

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
