* `std.builtin.Panic` -> `std.builtin.panic`, because it is a namespace.
* `root.Panic` -> `root.panic` for the same reason. There are type
checks so that we still allow the legacy `pub fn panic` strategy in
the 0.14.0 release.
* `std.debug.SimplePanic` -> `std.debug.simple_panic`, same reason.
* `std.debug.NoPanic` -> `std.debug.no_panic`, same reason.
* `std.debug.FormattedPanic` is now a function `std.debug.FullPanic`
which takes as input a `panicFn` and returns a namespace with all the
panic functions. This handles the incredibly common case of just
wanting to override how the message is printed, whilst keeping nice
formatted panics.
* Remove `std.builtin.panic.messages`; now, every safety panic has its
own function. This reduces binary bloat, as calls to these functions
no longer need to prepare any arguments (aside from the error return
trace).
* Remove some legacy declarations, since a zig1.wasm update has
happened. Most of these were related to the panic handler, but a quick
grep for "zig1" brought up a couple more results too.
Also, add some missing type checks to Sema.
Resolves: #22584

When using the self-hosted backends, especially in incremental mode, the
.eh_frame_hdr section may be incomplete, so we can't treat it as authoritative.
Instead, if we started out intending to use .eh_frame_hdr but find that it's
incomplete, load .eh_frame/.debug_frame on demand and use that info going
forward.
This will mainly be used when targeting our wasm2c implementation which has no
problem with zero-length bulk memory operations, as a non-standard extension.
I think it would be better if this invisible doc comments is top-level
doc comments rather than doc comments. Because it is at the start of a
source file. This makes the doc comments visible.
However, the last paragraph replaces doc comments with normal comments.
This is because I thought that normal comments would be more
appropriate than top-level doc comments given the context of the last
paragraph.

It's now unnecessary to explicitly pass this, because it receives an
implicit error trace parameter anyway, so can just use
`@errorReturnTrace()`. The previous commit updated Sema to expect this
new interface. This saves an AIR instruction at all `returnError` call
sites.
Acts as a replacement for `addSharedLibrary` and `addStaticLibrary`, but
linking mode can be changed more easily in build.zig, for example:
In library:
```zig
const linkage = b.option(std.builtin.LinkMode, "linkage", "Link mode for a foo_bar library") orelse .static; // or other default
const lib = b.addLibrary(.{
.linkage = linkage,
.name = "foo_bar",
.root_module = mod,
});
```
In consumer:
```zig
const dep_foo_bar = b.dependency("foo_bar", .{
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
.linkage = .static // or dynamic
});
mod.linkLibrary(dep_foor_bar.artifact("foo_bar"));
```
It also matches nicely with `linkLibrary` name.

This is not *quite* using the same features as the spec'd lime1 model because
LLVM 19 doesn't have the level of feature granularity that we need for that.
This will be fixed once we upgrade to LLVM 20.
Part of #21818.
As discussed in #21818, generic is a poor baseline model because that model is a
moving target in LLVM. Instead, use mvp, which has no features enabled.
This check doesn't make sense with the modern Allocator API; it's left over
from when realloc could change alignment. It's statically known (but not
comptime-known) to be true always. This check was one of the things
blocking Allocator from being used at comptime (related: #1291).
It caused an assertion failure when building Zig from source.

Turns out that even modern Debian aarch64 glibc libc_nonshared.a has
references to _init, meaning that the previous commit caused a
regression when trying to build any -lc executable on that target.
This commit backs out the changes to LibCInstallation.
There is still a fork in the road coming up when the self-hosted ELF
linker becomes load bearing on that target.
crti.o/crtn.o is a legacy strategy for calling constructor functions
upon object loading that has been superseded by the
init_array/fini_array mechanism.
Zig code depends on neither, since the language intentionally has no way
to initialize data at runtime, but alas the Zig linker still must
support this feature since popular languages depend on it.
Anyway, the way it works is that crti.o has the machine code prelude of
two functions called _init and _fini, each in their own section with the
respective name. crtn.o has the machine code instructions comprising the
exitlude for each function. In between, objects use the .init and .fini
link section to populate the function body.
This function is then expected to be called upon object initialization
and deinitialization.
This mechanism is depended on by libc, for example musl and glibc, but
only for older ISAs. By the time the libcs gained support for newer
ISAs, they had moved on to the init_array/fini_array mechanism instead.
For the Zig linker, we are trying to move the linker towards
order-independent objects which is incompatible with the legacy
crti/crtn mechanism.
Therefore, this commit drops support entirely for crti/crtn mechanism,
which is necessary since the other commits in this branch make it
nondeterministic in which order the libc objects and the other link
inputs are sent to the linker.
The linker is still expected to produce a deterministic output, however,
by ignoring object input order for the purposes of symbol resolution.
The original motivation here was to fix regressions caused by #22414.
However, while working on this, I ended up discussing a language
simplification with Andrew, which changes things a little from how they
worked before #22414.
The main user-facing change here is that any reference to a prior
function parameter, even if potentially comptime-known at the usage
site or even not analyzed, now makes a function generic. This applies
even if the parameter being referenced is not a `comptime` parameter,
since it could still be populated when performing an inline call. This
is a breaking language change.
The detection of this is done in AstGen; when evaluating a parameter
type or return type, we track whether it referenced any prior parameter,
and if so, we mark this type as being "generic" in ZIR. This will cause
Sema to not evaluate it until the time of instantiation or inline call.
A lovely consequence of this from an implementation perspective is that
it eliminates the need for most of the "generic poison" system. In
particular, `error.GenericPoison` is now completely unnecessary, because
we identify generic expressions earlier in the pipeline; this simplifies
the compiler and avoids redundant work. This also entirely eliminates
the concept of the "generic poison value". The only remnant of this
system is the "generic poison type" (`Type.generic_poison` and
`InternPool.Index.generic_poison_type`). This type is used in two
places:
* During semantic analysis, to represent an unknown result type.
* When storing generic function types, to represent a generic parameter/return type.
It's possible that these use cases should instead use `.none`, but I
leave that investigation to a future adventurer.
One last thing. Prior to #22414, inline calls were a little inefficient,
because they re-evaluated even non-generic parameter types whenever they
were called. Changing this behavior is what ultimately led to #22538.
Well, because the new logic will mark a type expression as generic if
there is any change its resolved type could differ in an inline call,
this redundant work is unnecessary! So, this is another way in which the
new design reduces redundant work and complexity.

The new memcpy function aims to be more generic than the previous
implementation which was adapted from an implementation optimized for
x86_64 avx2 machines. Even on x86_64 avx2 machines this implementation
should be generally be faster due to fewer branches in the small length
cases and generating less machine code.
Note that the new memcpy function no longer acts as a memmove.
