closes#4682
The self-hosted compiler is still bit rotted and still not compiling
successfully yet. I have a more serious rework of the code in a
different branch.
`std.mem.Allocator.createOne` is renamed to `std.mem.Allocator.create`.
The problem with the previous API is that even after copy elision,
the initalization value passed as a parameter would always be a copy.
With the new API, once copy elision is done, initialization
functions can directly initialize allocated memory in place.

* #1872
* #1873
* introduce std.atomic.Int
* add src-self-hosted/test.zig which is tested by the main test suite
- it fully utilizes the multithreaded async/await event loop so the
tests should Go Fast
* `stage2/bin/zig build-obj test.zig` is able to spit out an error if 2 exported
functions collide
* ability for `zig test` to accept `--object` and `--assembly`
arguments
* std.build: TestStep supports addLibPath and addObjectFile

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'
It doesn't actually do terminal color yet because we need to add
cross platform terminal color abstractions. But it toggles between
the single line error reporting and the multiline error reporting.
