which can be either parent, func, or anon. Here's the enum reproduced in
the commit message for convenience:
```zig
pub const NameStrategy = enum(u2) {
/// Use the same name as the parent declaration name.
/// e.g. `const Foo = struct {...};`.
parent,
/// Use the name of the currently executing comptime function call,
/// with the current parameters. e.g. `ArrayList(i32)`.
func,
/// Create an anonymous name for this declaration.
/// Like this: "ParentDeclName_struct_69"
anon,
};
```
With this information in the ZIR, a future commit can improve the
names of structs, unions, enums, and opaques.
In order to accomplish this, the following ZIR instruction forms were
removed and replaced with Extended op codes:
* struct_decl
* struct_decl_packed
* struct_decl_extern
* union_decl
* union_decl_packed
* union_decl_extern
* enum_decl
* enum_decl_nonexhaustive
By being extended opcodes, one more u32 is needed, however we more than
make up for it by repurposing the 16 "small" bits to provide shorter
encodings for when decls_len == 0, fields_len == 0, a source node is not
provided, etc. There tends to be no downside, and in fact sometimes
upsides, to using an extended op code when there is a need for flag
bits, which is the case for all three of these. Likewise, the container
layout can be encoded in these bits rather than into the opcode.
The following 4 ZIR instructions were added, netting a total of 4 freed
up ZIR enum tags for future use:
* opaque_decl_anon
* opaque_decl_func
* error_set_decl_anon
* error_set_decl_func
This is so that opaques and error sets can have the same name hint as
structs, enums, and unions.
`std.builtin.ContainerLayout` gets an explicit integer tag type so that
it can be used inside packed structs.
This commit also makes `Module.Namespace` use a separate set for
anonymous decls, thus allowing anonymous decls to share the same
`Decl.name` as their owner `Decl` objects.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
Address comments from @ifreund and @MasterQ32 to address unsafeness and
ergonomics of the `Address` API.
Rename the `TCP` namespace to `tcp` as it does not contain any
top-level fields.
Fix missing reference to `sockaddr` which was identified by @kprotty in
os/bits/linux/arm64.zig.
`std.builtin.StackTrace` gains a `format` function.
GeneralPurposeAllocator uses `std.log.err` instead of directly printing
to stderr. Some errors are recoverable.
The test runner is modified to fail the test run if any log messages of
"err" or worse severity are encountered.
self-hosted is modified to always print log messages of "err" severity
or worse even if they have not been explicitly enabled.
This makes GeneralPurposeAllocator available on the freestanding target.
One of the main motivating use cases for this language feature is
tracing/profiling tools, which expect null-terminated strings for these
values. Since the data is statically allocated, making them
additionally null-terminated comes at no cost.
This prevents the requirement of compile-time code to convert to
null-termination, which could increase the compilation time of
code with tracing enabled.
