regression: translate-c can no longer translate switch statements.
after #629 we can ressurect and modify the code to utilize arbitrarily
returning from blocks.
* @enumTagName renamed to @tagName and it works on enums and
union-enums
* Remove the EnumTag type. Now there is only enum and union,
and the tag type of a union is always an enum.
* unions support specifying the tag enum type, and they support
inferring an enum tag type.
* Enums no longer support field types but they do support
setting the tag values. Likewise union-enums when inferring
an enum tag type support setting the tag values.
* It is now an error for enums and unions to have 0 fields.
* switch statements support union-enums

* rename decode to decodeExactUnsafe.
* add decodeExact, which checks for invalid chars and padding.
* add decodeWithIgnore, which also allows ignoring chars.
* alphabets are supplied to the decoders with their
char-to-index mapping already built, which enables it to be
done at comptime.
* all decode/encode apis except decodeWithIgnore require dest
to be the exactly correct length. This is calculated by a
calc function corresponding to each api. These apis no longer
return the dest parameter.
* for decodeWithIgnore, an exact size cannot be known a priori.
Instead, a calc function gives an upperbound, and a runtime
error is returned in case of overflow. decodeWithIgnore
returns the number of bytes written to dest.

I started working on #465 and made some corresponding std.io
API changes.
New structs:
* std.io.FileInStream
* std.io.FileOutStream
* std.io.BufferedOutStream
* std.io.BufferedInStream
Removed:
* std.io.File.in_stream
* std.io.File.out_stream
Now instead of &file.out_stream or &file.in_stream to get access to
the stream API for a file, you get it like this:
var file_in_stream = io.FileInStream.init(&file);
const in_stream = &file_in_stream.stream;
var file_out_stream = io.FileOutStream.init(&file);
const out_stream = &file_out_stream.stream;
This is evidence that we might not need any OOP features -
See #130.
* add `@divTrunc` and `@divFloor` functions
* add `@rem` and `@mod` functions
* add compile error for `/` and `%` with signed integers
* add `.bit_count` for float primitive types

Old:
```
while (condition; expression) {}
```
New:
```
while (condition) : (expression) {}
```
This is in preparation to allow nullable and
error union types as the condition. See #357
