This shaves off one syscall (we use one instead of two if we were to
use `windows.OpenFile` wrapper). Clean up flag generation in `OpenFile`.
Hopefully, we're in a much better place to *almost* support `openW`
and `openatW`.
This way, we can remove more `kernel32` calls such as `RemoveDirectoryW`
or `DeleteFileW`, and use `std.os.windows.DeleteFile` instead which
is purely NT-based.
Replace them with `std.os.windows.OpenFile` instead. To allow
creation/opening of directories, `std.os.windows.OpenFileOptions`
now features a `.expect_dir: bool` member which is meant to emualate
POSIX's `O_DIRECTORY` flag.
As discussed in the previous commit, it would be better to avoid
function pointers to syscalls and explicitly split the control
path into two function calls instead. This commit addresses that
for `std.os.windows.DeviceIoControl`.
This commit adds a Zig wrapper for `kernel32.DeviceIoControl` which
applies ReactOS logic for deciding whether to use
`ntdll.NtDeviceIoControlFile` or `ntdll.NtFsControlFile` based on the
value of passed `IO_CONTROL_CODE`. The decision logic is based on the
logic found in ReactOS found in the following [link].

Otherwise, the behaviour can lead to unexpected results, resulting
in removing an entire tree that's not necessarily under the root.
Furthermore, this change is needed if are to properly handle dir
symlinks on Windows. Without explicitly requiring that a directory
or file is opened with `FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT`, Windows automatically
dereferences all symlinks along the way. This commit adds another
option to `OpenDirOptions`, namely `.no_follow`, which defaults to
`false` and can be used to specifically open a directory symlink on
Windows or call `openat` with `O_NOFOLLOW` flag in POSIX.
This way `std.fs.symlinkAbsolute` becomes cross-platform and we can
legally include `SymlinkFlags` as an argument that's only used on
Windows. Also, now `std.os.symlink` generates a compile error on
Windows with a message to instead use `std.os.windows.CreateSymbolicLink`.
Finally, this PR also reshuffles the tests between `std.os.test` and
`std.fs.test`.
Also, add more informative `@compileError` in a few `std.os` functions
that would otherwise yield a cryptic compile error when targeting
WASI. Finally, enhance docs in a few places and add test case for
`fstatat`.
Adds Windows stub (still needs to be implemented on Windows),
adds WASI implementation, adds unit test testing basic chain of
ops: create file -> symlink -> readlink.
ERROR_DIRECTORY (267) is returned from kernel32.RemoveDirectoryW if the path is not a directory. Note also that os.DirectDirError already includes NotDir
Before: error.Unexpected: GetLastError(267): The directory name is invalid.
After: error: NotDir
* improve docs
* add TODO comments for things that don't have open issues
* remove redundant namespacing of struct fields
* guard against ioctl returning EINTR
* remove the general std.os.ioctl function in favor of the specific
ioctl_SIOCGIFINDEX function. This allows us to have a more precise
error set, and more type-safe API.
