`(addr deref (ptr object))` generated weak typedesc before, which causes
problems for old GCC versions. As a bonus, by generating a typedesc for
`deref (ptr object)`, it also fixes#23453
While `a.push.apply(a, b)` is better for performance than the previous
`a = a.concat(b)` due to the fact that it doesn't create a new array,
there is a pretty big problem with it: depending on the JS engine, if
the second array is too long, it can [cause a
crash](https://tanaikech.github.io/2020/04/20/limitation-of-array.prototype.push.apply-under-v8-for-google-apps-script/)
due to the function `push` taking too many arguments. This has
unfortunately been what the codegen produces since 1.4.0 (commit
707367e1ca).
So string addition is now moved to a compilerproc that just uses a `for`
loop. From what I can tell this is the most compatible and the fastest.
Only potential problem compared to `concat` etc is with aliasing, i.e.
adding an array to itself, but I'm guessing it's enough that the length
from before the iteration is used, since it can only grow. The test
checks for aliased nim strings but I don't know if there's an extra
protection for them.
This PR, courtesy of @NagyZoltanPeter
(https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku/pull/3522) adds the ability to track
memory allocations in a program suitable for use with
[heaptrack](https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack).
By passing `-d:heaptrack --debugger:native` to compilation, calls to
heaptrack will be injected when memory is being allocated and released -
unlike `-d:useMalloc` this strategy also works with `refc` and the
default memory pool.
See https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack for usage examples. The resulting
binary needs to be run with `heaptrack` and with the shared
`libheaptrack_preload.so` in the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.

It seems that `semOverloadedCall` evaluates the same node twice using
`tryConstExpr` in order for `efExplain` to print all the diagnostic
output. The problem is that `tryConstExpr` has side effects, i.e., it
changes the slot index of variables after VM execution.
fixes#25240
> Deque items behavior is not the same on 2.0.16 and 2.2.0
The behavior seems to be caused by the temp introduced for the parameter
`deq.len`, which prevents it from being evaluated multiple times
There might be a way to do this but I couldn't find anything about it.
This is a very simple thing that goes a long way in certain situations.
Trying to avoid needing to switch to nimscript just to get:
```nim
# config.nims
import os
let srcDir = currentSourcePath.parentDir()
switch("define", &"ProjPath:\"{srcDir}\"")
```
with this change just needs:
```
# nim.cfg
d %= "ProjPath=$srcDir"
```

> To fix this, fields from inactive branches are now detected in
semmacrosanity.annotateType (called in fixupTypeAfterEval) and marked to
prevent the codegen of their assignments. In
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/24441 these fields were excluded
from the resulting node, but this causes issues when the node is
directly supposed to go back into the VM, for example as const values. I
don't know if this is the only case where this happens, so I wasn't sure
about how to keep that implementation working.
Object variants fields coming from inactive branches from VM are now
flagged `nfPreventCg`. We can ignore them, as done by the C backends.

```nim
type Conf = object
val: int
const defaultConf = Conf(val: 123)
static:
var conf: Conf
conf = defaultConf
```
```nim
# opcLdConst is now always valid. We produce the necessary copy in the
# assignments now:
```
A `opcLdConst` is generated for `defaultConf` in `conf = defaultConf`.
According to the comment above, we need to handle the copy for
assignments of `opcLdConst`

```nim
proc makeiter(v: string): iterator(): string =
return iterator(): string =
yield v
# loops
for c in makeiter("test")():
echo "loops ", c
```
becomes
```nim
var temp = makeiter("test")
for c in temp():
echo "loops ", c
```
for closures that might have side effects
fixes #25048
```nim
proc canFormAcycleAux =
of tyObject:
# Inheritance can introduce cyclic types, however this is not relevant
# as the type that is passed to 'new' is statically known!
# er but we use it also for the write barrier ...
if tfFinal notin t.flags:
# damn inheritance may introduce cycles:
result = true
```
It seems that all objects without `tfFinal` in their flags are
registering cycles. It doesn't seem that `Env` can be a cyclic type
because of inheritance since it is not going to be inherited after all
by another `Env` object type
- Nim requires `SSL_library_init`, OpenSSL 3.x removed
`SSL_library_init`, Windows defaults to OpenSSL 3.x, then install
OpenSSL 1.x on Windows.
- Keep `jiro4989/setup-nim-action` at `v1`, because `v2` uses a YAML
"hardcoded" matrix of Nim versions, but this Bisect "dynamically" finds
the Nim version with a bug, therefore we cant hardcode Nim versions in
the YAML, the Bisect programmatically installs required Nim versions as
it goes bisecting commit-by-commit.
- Update `actions/checkout` from `v4` to `v5`.
- Add support for Nim `2.2.4`.

```nim
of mUnaryMinusI..mAbsI: unaryArithOverflow(p, e, d, op)
of mAddI..mPred: binaryArithOverflow(p, e, d, op)
```
Arithmetic operations may raise exceptions. So we cannot entrust the
optimizer to skip `result` initialization in this situation, as
complained righteously by `gcc` and `clang`: `warning: ‘result’ may be
used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialize]`.
With this PR, `clang -c -Wuninitialized -O1 @psystem.nim.c` no longer
gives warnings

```nim

SysLockObj {.importc: "pthread_mutex_t", pure, final,
header: """#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pthread.h>""", byref.} = object
when defined(linux) and defined(amd64):
abi: array[40 div sizeof(clong), clong]
```
Before this PR, in refc, `resetLoc` generates field assignments for each
fields of `importc` object. But the field `abi` is not a genuine field,
which doesn't exits in the struct. We could use `zeroMem` to reset the
memory if not leave it alone
POSIX signal has an identical definition to ISO C signal:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/signal.html
```c
void (*signal(int sig, void (*func)(int)))(int);
/* more readably restated by glibc as */
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
sighandler_t signal(int signum, sighandler_t handler);
```
However, std/posix had omitted the function's return value; this fixes
that.
To prevent breaking every single line of code ever that touched this
binding (including mine...), I've also made it discardable.
Additionally, I have noticed that bsd_signal's type signature is wrong -
it should have been identical to signal. But bsd_signal was already
removed in POSIX 2008, and sigaction is the recommended, portable POSIX
signal interface. So I just deleted the bsd_signal binding.

...introduced by me in #24792. Sorry.
This fix doesn't avoid copying the `restrictedBody` twice in the
generated code but has the benefit of working.
Proper fix needs a detection that can set a const bool for a module
once. `when nimvm` is restricted in use and is difficult to dance
around. Some details in: #12517, #12518, #13038
I might have copied the buggy solution from some discussion and it might
have worked at some point, but it's small excuse.
fixes#24760
I tried `incl` `tfHasAsgn` to nontrivial assignment, but that solution
seems to break too many things. Instead, in this PR, `passCopyToSink`
now checks nontrivial assignment
Workaround for #24596.
I also took the liberty to disable it on all targets with GCC, since
their documentation claims that it is also enabled on -Os.

fixes#24998
Basically it retraces back to the situation before
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18366 and
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18362, i.e.
```nim
import fuzz/a
import fuzz/a
```
```nim
import fuzz/a
from buzz/a
```
```nim
import fuzz/a except nil
from fuzz/a import addInt
```
All of these cases are now flagged as invalid and triggers a
redefinition error, i.e., each module name importing is treated as
consistent as the symbol definition
kinda annoying for importing/exporting with `when conditions` though
