This commit refactors our use of translate-c, in preparation for larger
removal of cImport and better co-ordination between building of C
dependencies and translation of headers.
The major update is the creation of an internal helper package that
wraps our use of the external translate-c library. This allows us to not
only have better shorthand and a data-driven, declarative approach to C
translation (versus the otherwise more imperative approach), it also
funnels the external dependency into a single package instead of
spreading it out among what will be an increasingly larger amount of
places as dependencies in "pkg/" get updated.
It also includes some refactors, namely to the harfbuzz package, which
has had its individual settings refactored into helpers to allow for the
settings to be better shared between translation and the build of the
c-based static library.
Wuffs has also had a bit of a refactor too so that we don't generate a
file with all of the macro defines in it - we just send these in as "-D"
flags now.
- benchmark: avoid buffers to avoid a memcpy
- build: keep frame pointers on macOS. There was some debug changes from
Zig 0.15 and this helps. Also, Apple actually requires/expects x29 to
always be a frame pointer.
- build/macos: force libSystem symbols instead of compiler-rt
- global: add InitOpts.tool so that ghostty-gen/bench can parse their
own actions in `+action`
- quirks: provide our own vectorized memset. see the comment for more
details why.
- synthetic: fix UB by accessing global.io before it was initialized
- terminal/hash_map: force inline for unique repr types. Zig 0.15
inlined and 0.16 doesn't, measured a huge slowdown in hyperlink
benchmarks.
- terminal: add explicit `@Vector` usage for storing a run of identical cells
as well as for scanning printable cells. This auto-vectorized in Zig
0.15 but not in Zig 0.16. This produces the same assembly.
- unicode: properties and LUT need power-of-two backing integer to avoid
bad LLVM codegen
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.

Fixes#6727
The major change in this commit is to consolidate all the C imports in
a single decl in main.zig. This is required for Zig 0.14. Without it,
the problem in #6727 will happen. I was never able to minimize why this
happens in order to open a Zig bug.
Beyond this, I fixed the build.zig and build.zig.zon to work with Zig
0.14 so that we can test building `pkg/macos` in isolation. There are no
downstream impacting changes in the build.zig files.
