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.

This makes more dependencies lazy. This has a practical effect of
reducing the number of dependencies that need to be downloaded when
running certain zig build steps.
This is all limited because we're blocked on an upstream Zig issue:
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/21525 This prevents us from
fully avoiding downloading many dependencies, but at least they're
relatively small.
One major improvement here is the usage of `lazyImport` for
`zig-wayland` that prevents downloading `zig_wayland` unconditionally on
all platforms. On macOS, we don't download this at all anymore.
Another, weirder change is that all our transitive dependencies are now
marked lazy (e.g. glslang's upstream source) even if the glslang build
always requires it. This was necessary because without this, even if we
simply referenced glslang in the root build.zig, it would force the
source package to download unconditionally. This no longer happens.
Hi there, this is just a low-hanging fruit and it also prepares the way
for the future 0.15, which removes addStaticLibrary.
Please, let me know what to do on the `// TODO` comments.
