I originally called the Slice variants to work around
comptime code not supporting `@ptrCast`, but I fixed that
in 757d0665 so now the workaround is no longer needed.
FreeBSD doesn't mount procfs as default on the base system, so we can't
depend on it to get the current path, In this case, we use sysctl(3) to
retrieves the system information and get the same information.
- CTL_KERN: High kernel limits
- KERN_PROC: Return selected information about specific running
processes.
- KERN_PROC_PATHNAME: The path of the process
- Process ID: a process ID of -1 implies the current process.
The system call getrandom(2) just landed on FreeBSD 12, so if we want to
support some earlier version or at least FreeBSD 11, we can't depend on
the system call.
* add `@bswap` builtin function. See #767
* comptime evaluation facilities are improved to be able to
handle a `@ptrCast` with a backing array.
* `@truncate` allows "truncating" a u0 value to any integer
type, and the result is always comptime known to be `0`.
* when specifying pointer alignment in a type expression,
the alignment value of pointers which do not have addresses
at runtime is ignored, and always has the default/ABI alignment
* threw in a fix to freebsd/x86_64.zig to update syntax from
language changes
* some improvements are pending #863closes#638closes#1733

And add std.math.f128_* constants.
The routines are:
__fixdfdi, __fixdfsi, __fixdfti,
__fixsfdi, __fixsfsi, __fixsfti,
__fixtfdi, __fixtfsi, __fixtfti.
These all call fixint which is a generic zig function that does the
conversion:
pub fn fixint(comptime fp_t: type, comptime fixint_t: type, a: fp_t) fixint_t
There are also a set tests:
__fixdfdi_test, __fixdfsi_test, __fixdfti_test,
__fixsfdi_test, __fixsfsi_test, __fixsfti_test,
__fixtfdi_test, __fixtfsi_test, __fixtfti_test.
Relevant #764
dwarf debug info is modified to use this instead of std.os.File
directly to make it easier for bare metal projects to take advantage
of debug info parsing
