Calling Timer.lap queried the system time twice; once to compute the lap
time and once to reset the timer. This can lead to time discrepancies
between actual and computed durations when summing the result of
Timer.lap in a loop. This commit fixes that.
also fix Timer.read to not require a pointer
std.os.getenv and std.os.getenvZ have nice compile errors when not linking
libc and using Windows.
std.os.getenvW is provided as a Windows-only API that does not require
an allocator. It uses the Process Environment Block.
std.process.getEnvVarOwned is improved to be a simple wrapper on top of
std.os.getenvW.
std.process.getEnvMap is improved to use the Process Environment Block
rather than calling GetEnvironmentVariableW.
std.zig.system.NativePaths uses process.getEnvVarOwned instead of
std.os.getenvZ, which works on Windows as well as POSIX.
This function expands argv[0] into the absolute path resolved with PATH
environment variable before making the execve syscall. However, in case
the execve fails, e.g. with ENOENT, it did not restore argv to how it
was before it was passed in. This resulted in the caller performing an
invalid free.
This commit also adds verbose debug info when native system C compiler
detection fails. See #4521.

This is set up so that if we wish to make "baseline" depend on the
OS in the future, it is possible to do that.
This was deceptive. It was always meant to be sort of a "GNU readline"
sort of thing where it provides a Command Line Interface to input text.
However that functionality did not exist and it was basically a red
herring for people trying to read line-delimited input from a stream.
In this commit the API is deleted, so that people can find the proper
API more easily.
A CLI text input abstraction would be useful but may not even need to be
in the standard library. As you can see in this commit, the guess_number
CLI game gets by just fine by using `std.fs.File.read`.
