Previously, std.debug.assert would `@panic` in test builds,
if the assertion failed. Now, it's always `unreachable`.
This makes release mode test builds more accurately test
the actual code that will be run.
However this requires tests to call `std.testing.expect`
rather than `std.debug.assert` to make sure output is correct.
Here is the explanation of when to use either one, copied from
the assert doc comments:
Inside a test block, it is best to use the `std.testing` module
rather than assert, because assert may not detect a test failure
in ReleaseFast and ReleaseSafe mode. Outside of a test block, assert
is the correct function to use.

To help automatically translate code, see the
zig-fmt-pointer-reform-2 branch.
This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
Commands are now separated more precisely from one another. Arguments
are parsed mostly using a custom argument parser instead of manually.
This should be on parity feature-wise with the previous main.zig but
adds a few extra code-paths as well that were not yet implemented.
Subcommands are much more prominent and consistent. The first argument
is always a sub-command and then all following arguments refer to that
command. Different commands display there own usage messages and options
based on what they can do instead of a one-for-all usage message that
was only applicable for the build commands previously.
The `cc` command is added and is intended for driving a c compiler. See #490.
This is currently a wrapper over the system cc and assumes that it
exists, but it should suffice as a starting point.
