`path_to_fullpath` did different things on Windows&Unix, an attempt to bring them closer together was made here. This was prompted by the compiler completely ignoring `foreign import "foo.dylib"` when `foo.dylib` does not exist (because `path_to_fullpath` returns an empty string). Causing just unresolved symbol errors, when on Windows it would pass along the path to the linker and actually say it doesn't exist, which is now also the case for Unix. This also fixes some checker errors that relied on the Windows behaviour, for example: `Error: File name, , cannot be as a library name as it is not a valid identifier`. Made `-no-crt` require either `-default-to-nil-allocator` or `-default-to-panic-allocator` on Unix, the current default allocators rely on libc and this was not obvious and would immediately bring up unresolved symbol errors for the linked memory management functions, or just link with libc anyways because it was foreign imported. Added a suggestion to install `nasm` with the user's package manager when assembling using `nasm` fails on Unix, I saw some confusion about it in the Discord. Ignore explicit foreign imports of libc. It is already linked in later on in the linking process and would otherwise (at least on macOS) cause linker warnings for duplicate libraries. This also makes it so when using `-no-crt` and importing something that requires libc, linker errors are given (like I would expect), instead of silently still linking with libc because it was foreign imported.

The Odin Programming Language
Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems, and built-in data-oriented data types. The Odin Programming Language, the C alternative for the joy of programming.
