Motivation
----------
Some linuxes (like Fedora) actually multiarch. And it means that
libgc.so.1 not always installed into /usr/lib. It is better to entrust
this job to ld and system configuration for it.
Modification
------------
Use relative path for Boehm GC on 'other' OS (and linux in particular)
Result
------
It is possible now to build nim with --gc:boehm on linux
Motivation
----------
peekLine procs use defer to reset position in the stream, but it also
make them always return nil.
Modification
------------
Explicitly set result value in peekLine, and write missing unit test.
Result
------
Tests are green and bug is fixed
Corrected `noSideEffect pragma` links in lib/system
(The newer documentation uses slightly different links)
Corrected `noSideEffect pragma` in types links to match the updated link names
Minor link adjustment in stmts to match the newer link names
Since typedesc are exception in macros and they are not implicitly converted to
NimNode on macro call, we need some means to perform such conversion on demand.
Fortunately it is as simple as declaring new magic "NGetType" proc with
typedesc parameter.
NOTE: Keeping actual macro exceptional behavior for typedesc is important,
since it allows passing typedesc macro parameter to other procs or macros
expecting type parameter. If typedesc parameter was implicitly converted, then
we would lost this ability.
