Subject: [PATCH] zig cc: emit to a.out if outpath is unspecified

If `-o` is not specified for `zig cc` for linking, it should emit the
`a.out` (or equivalent) to the current directory. So then this:

    $ zig cc test.c

Should result in `./a.out`.

If directory is omitted from `Compilation.EmitLoc`, it will default to
the cache directory later in the compilation chain, which will result
in `a.out` missing in the current directory.

If we specify the directory to `Compilation.EmitLoc`, it will be
handled, allegedly, correctly.

Fixes #12858
