Detect if we are storing an array operand to a bitcasted vector pointer.
If so, we instead reach through the bitcasted pointer to the vector pointer,
bitcast the array operand to a vector, and then lower this as a store of
a vector value to a vector pointer. This generally results in better code,
as well as working around an LLVM bug.
See #11154
Adds 2 new AIR instructions:
* dbg_var_ptr
* dbg_var_val
Sema no longer emits dbg_stmt AIR instructions when strip=true.
LLVM backend: fixed lowerPtrToVoid when calling ptrAlignment on
the element type is problematic.
LLVM backend: fixed alloca instructions improperly getting debug
location annotated, causing chaotic debug info behavior.
zig_llvm.cpp: fixed incorrect bindings for a function that should use
unsigned integers for line and column.
A bunch of C test cases regressed because the new dbg_var AIR
instructions caused their operands to be alive, exposing latent bugs.
Mostly it's just a problem that the C backend lowers mutable
and const slices to the same C type, so we need to represent that in the
C backend instead of printing two duplicate typedefs.
The checks detecting such no-op branches (essentially instructions
that branch to the instruction immediately following the branch) were
tightened to catch more of these occurrences.
Get rid of `std.math.F80Repr`. Instead of trying to match the memory
layout of f80, we treat it as a value, same as the other floating point
types. The functions `make_f80` and `break_f80` are introduced to
compose an f80 value out of its parts, and the inverse operation.
stage2 LLVM backend: fix pointer to zero length array tripping LLVM
assertion. It now checks for when the element type is a zero-bit type
and lowers such thing the same way that pointers to other zero-bit types
are lowered.
Both stage1 and stage2 LLVM backends are adjusted so that f80 is lowered
as x86_fp80 on x86_64 and i386 architectures, and identical to a u80 on
others. LLVM constants are lowered in a less hacky way now that #10860
is fixed, by using the expression `(exp << 64) | fraction` using llvm
constants.
Sema is improved to handle c_longdouble by recursively handling it
correctly for whatever the float bit width is. In both stage1 and
stage2.
Support for f128, comptime_float, and c_longdouble require improvements
to compiler_rt and will implemented in a later PR. Some of the code in
this commit could be made more generic, for instance `llvm.airSqrt`
could probably be `llvm.airUnaryMath`, but let's cross that
bridge when we get to it.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
