This commit represents the majority of the work necessary to upgrade
Ghostty to use Zig 0.16.0.
Key parts:
* In addition to its previous responsibilities, the global state now
houses state for global I/O implementations and the process
environment. It is now also utilized in the main application along
with the C library. Where necessary, global state is isolated from key
parts of the implementation (e.g., in libghostty subsystems), and it's
expected that this list will grow.
* We currently manage our own C translation layer where necessary. In
these cases, cImport has been removed in favor of the new external
translate-c package. Due to fixes that have needed be made to properly
translate the dependencies that were swapped out, as mentioned, we
have had to backport fixes from the current translate-c package (and
the upstream Arocc dependency). We will host this ourselves until Zig
0.17.0 is released with these fixes.
* Where necessary (only a small number of cases), some stdlib code from
0.15.2 (and even from 0.17.0) has been taken, adopted, and vendored in
lib/compat.

Zig's ubsan runtime cannot be bundled on Windows (LNK4229),
leaving __ubsan_handle_* symbols unresolved when the static
archive is consumed by an external linker like MSVC link.exe.
freetype, glslang, spirv-cross, and highway already suppress
ubsan unconditionally. Add MSVC-conditional suppression to the
seven C dependencies that were missing it: harfbuzz, libpng,
dcimgui, wuffs, oniguruma, zlib, and stb.
The fix is gated on abi == .msvc so ubsan coverage is preserved
on Linux and macOS where bundle_ubsan_rt works.
Zig unconditionally passes -nostdinc++ and adds its bundled
libc++/libc++abi include paths, which conflict with MSVC's own C++
runtime headers. The MSVC SDK directories (added via linkLibC)
already contain both C and C++ headers, so linkLibCpp is not needed.
This is the same fix already applied upstream to highway, simdutf,
utfcpp, glslang, SharedDeps, and GhosttyZig.
