* Fix#8404 JS backend doesn't handle float->int type conversion
* handle conv to uint as cast, discard other cases
* limit to int32, times use int64
* toInt including tyInt64 break times timezones lib, ignore for now
* also affect to vm
* move to tests/misc/t8404.nim
* Update installer.ini
Add support for powerpc64 little endian
* Update buildsh.nimf
Add support for powerpc64 little endian
* Update makefile.nimf
Add support for freebsd/powerpc64 little endian
* fix#14127 from int to int casting
* add test for #14127
* use template for test, also test uint2int
* move to tests/types/t14127_cast_number.nim targets:c cpp js
* new: `nim -i cmd`
* rename -i to -e (for eval); consistent with majority of other programing languages
* `nim e -e:cmd` now works; bugfix: `echo cmd | nim e -` now works
* honor --betterRun
* address comments
* --eval alias for -e (replaces undocumented --eval which was a noop)
* --eval now defaults to e (nimscript) instead of r
* address comment: remove -e, only keep --eval
* address comment
* fixup
* Update compiler/nimconf.nim

Make `requiresInit` pragma to work for distinct types in addition to
objects. Tagging of distinct types with `requiresInit` pragma was
already supported, but its impact wasn't applied. Now its behavior when
applied on distinct types is as follows.
Given the following distinct type definitions:
```nim
type
DistinctObject {.requiresInit, borrow: `.`.} = distinct MyObject
DistinctString {.requiresInit.} = distinct string
```
The following code blocks will fail to compile:
```nim
var foo: DistinctFoo
foo.x = "test"
doAssert foo.x == "test"
```
```nim
var s: DistinctString
s = "test"
doAssert s == "test"
```
But these ones will compile successfully:
```nim
let foo = DistinctFoo(Foo(x: "test"))
doAssert foo.x == "test"
```
```nim
let s = "test"
doAssert s == "test"
```
