This is a rewrite of the x25519 code, that generalizes support for
common primitives based on the same finite field.
- Low-level operations can now be performed over the curve25519 and
edwards25519 curves, as well as the ristretto255 group.
- Ed25519 signatures have been implemented.
- X25519 is now about twice as fast.
- mem.timingSafeEqual() has been added for constant-time comparison.
Domains have been clearly separated, making it easier to later add
platform-specific implementations.
This is part of an ongoing effort to reduce size of in-memory AST. This
enum flattening pattern is widespread throughout the self-hosted
compiler.
This is a API breaking change for consumers of the self-hosted parser.
* introduce a dump() function on Module.Fn which helpfully prints to
stderr the ZIR representation of a function (can be called before
attempting to codegen it). This is a debugging tool.
* implement x86 codegen for loops
* liveness: fix analysis of conditional branches. The logic was buggy
in a couple ways:
- it never actually saved the results into the IR instruction (fixed now)
- it incorrectly labeled operands as dying when their true death was
after the conditional branch ended (fixed now)
* zir rendering is enhanced to show liveness analysis results. this
helps when debugging liveness analysis.
* fix bug in zir rendering not numbering instructions correctly

The logging functions in std.log don't take a scope parameter anymore,
but use the .default scope. To provide your own scope, use the logging
functions in std.log.scoped(.some_other_scope).
As per nmichaels' suggestion: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/6039#issuecomment-673148971
`std.os.getFdPath` is very platform-specific and can be used to query
the OS for a canonical path to a file handle. Currently supported hosts
are Linux, macOS and Windows.
`std.fs.Dir.realpath` (and null-terminated, plus WTF16 versions) are
similar to `std.os.realpath`, however, they resolve a path wrt to this
`Dir` instance.
If the input pathname argument turns out to be an absolute path, this
function reverts to calling `realpath` on that pathname completely
ignoring this `Dir`.
* Add short documentation to std.log.scoped and std.log.default
* Update the module documentation and example to explain the difference
between using explicit scopes, using a scoped logging namespace, and
using the default namespace
* Add a std.log.scoped function that returns a scoped logging struct
* Add a std.log.default struct that logs using the .default scope

Note that I named the function "scoped" instead of "scope" so as not to
clash with the scope parameter that is used everywhere; this seemed a
better solution to me than renaming the scope parameter to "s" or
"log_scope" or the like.
This makes collected stack traces omit less useful frames. For user
applications which only store a fixed number of stack frames this can
make a big difference.
`std.builtin.StackTrace` gains a `format` function.
GeneralPurposeAllocator uses `std.log.err` instead of directly printing
to stderr. Some errors are recoverable.
The test runner is modified to fail the test run if any log messages of
"err" or worse severity are encountered.
self-hosted is modified to always print log messages of "err" severity
or worse even if they have not been explicitly enabled.
This makes GeneralPurposeAllocator available on the freestanding target.
We don't pass no-omit-frame-pointer in release safe by default, so it
also makes sense to not try to collect stack trace frames by default in
release safe mode.
This makes `@returnAddress()` return 0 for WebAssembly (when not using
the Emscripten OS) and avoids trying to capture stack traces for the
general purpose allocator on that target.
