Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
* move `ptrBitWidth` from Arch to Target since it needs to know about the abi
* double isn't always 8 bits
* AVR uses 1-byte alignment for everything in GCC
The majority of these are in comments, some in doc comments which might
affect the generated documentation, and a few in parameter names -
nothing that should be breaking, however.
Now they use slices or array pointers with any element type instead of
requiring byte pointers.
This is a breaking enhancement to the language.
The safety check for overlapping pointers will be implemented in a
future commit.

- improve fn prototypes of process_vm_writev
- make the memory writable in the ELF file
- force the linker to always append the function
- write updates with process_vm_writev
Also add `std.fs.has_executable_bit` for doing conditional compilation.
This adds the linux syscalls for chmod and fchmodat, as well as the
extern libc function declarations.
Only `fchmodat` is added to `std.os`, and it is not yet added to std.fs.
There are still a few occurrences of "stage1" in the standard library
and self-hosted compiler source, however, these instances need a bit
more careful inspection to ensure no breakage.
perf_event_attr.type needs to take a runtime defined value to enable
dynamic PMU:s, such as kprobe and uprobe. This value can exceed
predefined values defined in the linux headers.

POSIX specifies that the sa_handler field of the sigaction struct may
be set to SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL. However, the current constants in the
standard library use the function pointer signature corresponding to
the sa_sigaction field instead.
This may not cause issues in practice because the fields usually occupy
the same memory in a union, but this isn't required by POSIX and there
may be systems we do not yet support that do this differently.
Fixing this also makes the Zig interface less confusing to use after
reading the man page.

When lowering a struct type to an LLVM struct type, keep track of
whether there are any underaligned fields. If so, then make it a packed
llvm struct. This works because we already insert manual padding bytes
regardless.
We could unconditionally use an LLVM packed struct; the reason we bother
checking for underaligned fields is that it is a conservative choice, in
case LLVM handles packed structs less optimally. A future improvement
could simplify this code by unconditionally using packed LLVM structs
and then make sure measure perf is unaffected.

The fstype argument to the mount system call can be null. To see an
example run "strace -e trace=mount unshare -m":
```
mount("none", "/", NULL, MS_REC|MS_PRIVATE, NULL) = 0
...
```
