std.Target: Remove functions that just wrap component functions.
Functions like isMinGW() and isGnuLibC() have a good reason to exist: They look
at multiple components of the target. But functions like isWasm(), isDarwin(),
isGnu(), etc only exist to save 4-8 characters. I don't think this is a good
enough reason to keep them, especially given that:

* It's not immediately obvious to a reader whether target.isDarwin() means the
  same thing as target.os.tag.isDarwin() precisely because isMinGW() and similar
  functions *do* look at multiple components.
* It's not clear where we would draw the line. The logical conclusion before
  this commit would be to also wrap Arch.isX86(), Os.Tag.isSolarish(),
  Abi.isOpenHarmony(), etc... this obviously quickly gets out of hand.
* It's nice to just have a single correct way of doing something.

Aro

Aro

A C compiler with the goal of providing fast compilation and low memory usage with good diagnostics.

Aro is included as an alternative C frontend in the Zig compiler for translate-c and eventually compiling C files by translating them to Zig first. Aro is developed in https://github.com/Vexu/arocc and the Zig dependency is updated from there when needed.

Currently most of standard C is supported up to C23 and as are many of the common extensions from GNU, MSVC, and Clang

Basic code generation is supported for x86-64 linux and can produce a valid hello world:

$ cat hello.c
extern int printf(const char *restrict fmt, ...);
int main(void) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
    return 0;
}
$ zig build && ./zig-out/bin/arocc hello.c -o hello
$ ./hello
Hello, world!
