Workaround for C++ Atomic[T] issues that doesn't require a compiler
change. Not tested or documented in case it's not meant to be officially
supported, locally tested `tatomics` and #24159 to work with it though,
can add these as tests if required.

fixes#15314, fixes#24002
The OpenSym behavior first added to generics in #23091 now also applies
to templates, since templates can also capture symbols that are meant to
be replaced by local symbols if the context imports symbols with the
same name, as in the issue #24002. The experimental switch
`templateOpenSym` is added to enable this behavior for templates only,
and the experimental switch `openSym` is added to enable it for both
templates and generics, and the documentation now mainly mentions this
switch.
Additionally the logic for `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes that were previously
wrapped in `nkOpenSym` now apply to all `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes, and so
these nodes aren't wrapped in `nkOpenSym` anymore. This means
`nkOpenSym` can only have children of kind `nkSym` again, so it is more
in line with the structure of symchoice nodes. As for why they aren't
merged with `nkOpenSymChoice` nodes yet, we need some way to signal that
the node shouldn't become ambiguous if other options exist at
instantiation time, we already captured a symbol at the beginning and
another symbol can only replace it if it's closer in scope and
unambiguous.

Provides a fix for #23817.
With target `arm-none-eabi`, GCC defines `int32_t` to `long int`. Nim
uses `__builtin_sadd_overflow` for 32-bit targets, but this emits
warnings on GCC releases 13 and under, while generating an error on GCC
14. More info regarding this
[here](https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html#c) and
[here](https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-cvs/2023-December/394351.html).
The proposed PR attempts to address this issue for these targets by
defining the `nimAddInt`, `nimSubInt`, and `nimMulInt` macros to use the
appropriate compiler intrinsics for this platform.
As for as we know, the LLVM toolchain for bare metal Arm does not define
`int32_t` as `long int` and has no need for this patch. Thus, we only
define the above macros for GCC targeting `arm-non-eabi`.

Fix non-exported `setFileSize` to take optional `oldSize` to (on posix)
shrink differently than it grows (`ftruncate` not `posix_fallocate`)
since it makes sense to assume the higher address space has already been
allocated there and include the old file size in the `proc resize` call.
Also, do not even try `setFileSize` in the first place unless the `open`
itself works by moving the call into the `if newFileSize != -1` branch.
Just cosmetics, also improve some old 2011 comments, note a logic diff
for callers using both `mappedSize` & `newFileSize` from windows branch
in case someone wants to fix that & simplify code formatting a little.

fixes#10440, fixes#13871, fixes#14665, fixes#19672, fixes#23677
The false positive in #23677 was caused by behavior in
`implicitlyDiscardable` where only the last node of `if`/`case`/`try`
etc expressions were considered, as in the final node of the final
branch (in this case `else`). To fix this we use the same iteration in
`implicitlyDiscardable` that we use in `endsInNoReturn`, with the
difference that for an `if`/`case`/`try` statement to be implicitly
discardable, all of its branches must be implicitly discardable.
`noreturn` calls are also considered implicitly discardable for this
reason, otherwise stuff like `if true: discardableCall() else: error()`
doesn't compile.
However `endsInNoReturn` also had bugs, one where `finally` was
considered in noreturn checking when it shouldn't, another where only
`nkIfStmt` was checked and not `nkIfExpr`, and the node given for the
error message was bad. So `endsInNoReturn` now skips over
`skipForDiscardable` which no longer contains
`nkIfStmt`/`nkCaseStmt`/`nkTryStmt`, stores the first encountered
returning node in a var parameter for the error message, and handles
`finally` and `nkIfExpr`.
Fixing #23677 already broke a line in `syncio` so some package code
might be affected.

Turns the `nfOpenSym` node flag implemented in #23091 and extended in
containing either `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice`. Since this affects
macros working on generic proc AST, the node kind is now only generated
when the experimental switch `genericsOpenSym` is enabled, and a new
node flag `nfDisabledOpenSym` is set to the `nkSym` or `nkOpenSymChoice`
when the switch is not enabled so that we can give a warning.
Now that the experimental switch has more reasonable semantics, we
define `nimHasGenericsOpenSym2`.

Lets single threaded applications benefit from tracking foreign cells as
well.
After this, `SmallChunk` technically doesn't need to act as a linked
list anymore I think, gotta investigate that more though.
The likelihood of overflowing `chunk.free` also rises, so to work around
that it might make sense to check `foreignCells` instead of adjusting
free space or replace free with a counter for the local capacity.
For Nim compile I can observe a ~10mb reduction, and smaller ones for
other projects.

There was a small leak in the above issue even after fixing the
segfault. The sizes of `free` and `acc` were changed to 32bit because
adding the `foreignCells` field will drastically increase the memory
usage for programs that hold onto memory for a long time if they stay as
64bit.

I have made `realloc` absorb unused adjacent memory, which improves the
performance. I'm investigating whether `deallocOsPages` can be used to
improve memory comsumption.

For backwards compatibilities, we might need to keep the changes under a
preview compiler flag. Let's see how many packags it break.
**TODO** in the following PRs

Before my PR, `setLen(0)` doesn't free buffer if `s != nil`, but it
allocated unnecessary memory for `strs`. This PR rectifies this
behavior. `setLen(0)` no longer allocates memory for uninitialized
strs/seqs

I could trivially port Nim to NetBSD/aarch64 because it already
supported NetBSD and aarch64. I only needed to generate `c_code` for
this combination.

This adds a version of `almostEqual` (which was already available for
floats) thata works with `Complex[SomeFloat]`.
Proof that this is needed is that the first thing that the complex.nim
runnable examples block did before this commit was define (an
incomplete) `almostEqual` function that worked with complex values.

## Reprodution
if on Windows:
```Nim
when defined(windows):
var file: File
let succ = file.open(<aFileHandle>)
```
then `succ` will be false.
If tested, it can be found to fail with errno `22` and message: `Invalid
argument`
## Problem
After some investigations and tests,
I found it's due to the `mode` argument for `fdopen`.
Currently `NoInheritFlag`(`'N'` in Windows) is added to `mode` arg
passed to `_fdopen`, but if referring to
[Windows `_fdopen`
doc](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/fdopen-wfdopen?view=msvc-170),
you'll find there is no `'N'` describled. That's `'N'` is not accepted
by `_fdopen`.
Therefore, the demo above will fail.
## In Addition
To begin with, technologically speaking, when opening with a
`fileHandle`(or called `fd`), there is no concept of fd-inheritable as
`fd` is opened already.
In POSIX, `NoInheritFlag` is defined as `e`.
It's pointed out in [POSIX `open`
man-doc](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fopen.3.html) that
`e` in mode is ignored for fdopen(),
which means `e` for `fdopen()` is not wanted, just allowed.
Therefore, better to also not pass `e` to `fdopen`

In all, that's this PR.
