This commit contains everything from the copy-elision-2
branch that does not have to do with copy elision directly,
but is generally useful for master branch.
* All const values know their parents, when applicable, not
just structs and unions.
* Null pointers in const values are represented explicitly,
rather than as a HardCodedAddr value of 0.
* Rename "maybe" to "optional" in various code locations.
* Separate DeclVarSrc and DeclVarGen
* Separate PtrCastSrc and PtrCastGen
* Separate CmpxchgSrc and CmpxchgGen
* Represent optional error set as an integer, using the 0 value.
In a const value, it uses nullptr.
* Introduce type_has_one_possible_value and use it where applicable.
* Fix debug builds not setting memory to 0xaa when storing
undefined.
* Separate the type of a variable from the const value of a variable.
* Use copy_const_val where appropriate.
* Rearrange structs to pack data more efficiently.
* Move test/cases/* to test/behavior/*
* Use `std.debug.assertOrPanic` in behavior tests instead of
`std.debug.assert`.
* Fix outdated slice syntax in docs.
We were caching the ConstExprValue of string literals,
which works if you can never modify ConstExprValues.
This premise is broken with `comptime var ...`.
So I implemented an optimization in ConstExprValue
arrays, where it stores a `Buf *` directly rather
than an array of ConstExprValues for the elements,
and then similar to array of undefined, it is
expanded into the canonical form when necessary.
However many operations can happen directly on the
`Buf *`, which is faster.
Furthermore, before a ConstExprValue array is expanded
into canonical form, it removes itself from the string
literal cache. This fixes the issue, because before an
array element is modified it would have to be expanded.

both ir.cpp and analyze.cpp have a function resolve_inferred_error_set,
which is a nearly exact copy-paste. This commit removes the one in ir.cpp
and exposes then one in analyze.cpp. This also allows us to make
analyze_fn_body local to analyze.cpp, as it is not used anywhere in
ir.cpp after this change
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.
