Since we ignore this flag in `clang_options_data.zig`, it makes
sense to ignore it for Nix as well. One thing I've been thinking about
is if it would make sense to somehow use `clang_options_data.zig` as
source of truth for handling Nix cflags too rather than slap more
hard-coded escape hatches.
The implementation of HostName.validate was too generous. It considered
strings like ".example.com", "exa..mple.com", and "-example.com" to be
valid hostnames, which is incorrect according to RFC 1123 (the currently
accepted standard).

The previous logic was made really messy by the fact that upon entry to
the step eval worker, the step may not be ready to run, we may be racing
with other workers doing the same check, and we had already acquired our
RSS requirement even though we might not run. It also required iterating
all dependencies each time we were called to check whether we were even
ready to run yet.
A much better strategy is for each step to have an atomic counter
representing how many of its dependencies are yet to complete. When a
step completes (successfully or otherwise), it decrements this value for
all of its dependants, and if it drops any to 0, it schedules that step
to run. This means each step is scheduled exactly once, and only when
all of its dependencies have finished, reducing redundant checks and
hence contention. If the step being scheduled needs to claim RSS which
isn't available, then it is instead added to `memory_blocked_steps`,
which is iterated by the step worker after a step with an RSS claim
finishes.
This logic is more concise than before, simpler to understand, generally
more efficient, and fixes a bug in the RSS tracking. Also, as a nice
side effect, it should also play a little bit nicer with `Io.Threaded`'s
scheduling strategy, because we no longer spawn extremely short-lived
tasks all the time as we previously did.

ABI detection previously did not take into account the non-standard
directory structure of Android. This has been fixed.
The API level is detected by running `getprop ro.build.version.sdk`,
since we don't want to depend on bionic, and reading system properties
ourselves is not trivially possible.
clock_nanosleep is specified by POSIX but not implemented on these
hereby shamed operating systems:
* macOS
* OpenBSD (which defines TIMER_ABSTIME for some reason...?)
