One of the main motivating use cases for this language feature is
tracing/profiling tools, which expect null-terminated strings for these
values. Since the data is statically allocated, making them
additionally null-terminated comes at no cost.
This prevents the requirement of compile-time code to convert to
null-termination, which could increase the compilation time of
code with tracing enabled.

The binary file abstraction changed its struct named "Decl" to
"TextBlock" and it now represents an allocated slice of memory in
the .text section. It has two new fields: prev and next, making it
a linked list node. This allows a TextBlock to find its neighbors.
The ElfFile struct now has free_list and last_text_block fields.
Doc comments for free_list are reproduced here:
A list of text blocks that have surplus capacity. This list can have false
positives, as functions grow and shrink over time, only sometimes being added
or removed from the freelist.
A text block has surplus capacity when its overcapacity value is greater than
minimum_text_block_size * alloc_num / alloc_den. That is, when it has so
much extra capacity, that we could fit a small new symbol in it, itself with
ideal_capacity or more.
Ideal capacity is defined by size * alloc_num / alloc_den.
Overcapacity is measured by actual_capacity - ideal_capacity. Note that
overcapacity can be negative. A simple way to have negative overcapacity is to
allocate a fresh text block, which will have ideal capacity, and then grow it
by 1 byte. It will then have -1 overcapacity.
The last_text_block keeps track of the end of the .text section.
Allocation, freeing, and resizing decls are all now more sophisticated,
and participate in the virtual address allocation scheme. There is no
longer the possibility for virtual address collisions.
This rather large commit adds/fixes missing WASI functionality
in `libstd` needed to pass the `libstd` tests. As such, now by
default tests targeting `wasm32-wasi` target are enabled in
`test/tests.zig` module. However, they can be disabled by passing
the `-Dskip-wasi=true` flag when invoking the `zig build test`
command. When the flag is set to `false`, i.e., when WASI tests are
included, `wasmtime` with `--dir=.` is used as the default testing
command.
Since the majority of `libstd` tests were relying on `fs.cwd()`
call to get current working directory handle wrapped in `Dir`
struct, in order to make the tests WASI-friendly, `fs.cwd()`
call was replaced with `testing.getTestDir()` function which
resolved to either `fs.cwd()` for non-WASI targets, or tries to
fetch the preopen list from the WASI runtime and extract a
preopen for '.' path.
The summary of changes introduced by this commit:
* implement `Dir.makeDir` and `Dir.openDir` targeting WASI
* implement `Dir.deleteFile` and `Dir.deleteDir` targeting WASI
* fix `os.close` and map errors in `unlinkat`
* move WASI-specific `mkdirat` and `unlinkat` from `std.fs.wasi`
to `std.os` module
* implement `lseek_{SET, CUR, END}` targeting WASI
* implement `futimens` targeting WASI
* implement `ftruncate` targeting WASI
* implement `readv`, `writev`, `pread{v}`, `pwrite{v}` targeting WASI
* make sure ANSI escape codes are _not_ used in stderr or stdout
in WASI, as WASI always sanitizes stderr, and sanitizes stdout if
fd is a TTY
* fix specifying WASI rights when opening/creating files/dirs
* tweak `AtomicFile` to be WASI-compatible
* implement `os.renameatWasi` for WASI-compliant `os.renameat` function
* implement sleep() targeting WASI
* fix `process.getEnvMap` targeting WASI
