It is possible to get comptime-known values from runtime-known values
for example the length of array. Allowing runtime only instructions to
be emitted outside function bodies allows these operations to happen.
In places where comptime-known values are required we have other methods
to ensure that and they usually result in more specific compile errors too.
Closes#12240
I have noticed this causing my terminal to stop accepting input
sometimes. The previous implementation with all of its flaws was better
in the sense that it never caused this to happen.

This reverts commit cd3d8f3a4e.
Windows gives AccessDenied if you delete a directory which contains open
file handles. This could be triggered when using CacheMode.whole when
cross compiling macho test binaries.
build.zig: add a 'compile' step to compile the self-hosted compiler
without installing it.
Compilation: set cache mode to whole when using the LLVM backend and
--enable-cache is passed.
This makes `zig build` act the same as it does with stage1. Upside is
that a second invocation of `zig build` on an unmodified source tree
will avoid redoing the compilation again. Downside is that it will
proliferate more garbage in the project-local cache (same as stage1).
This can eventually be fixed when Zig's incremental compilation is more
robust; we can go back to having LLVM use CacheMode.incremental and rely
on it detecting no changes and avoiding doing the flush() step.
enums so that we can branch to set `link_mode` properly when we iterate
over the clang arguments. also replaced `dynamic` flag in
clang_options_data.zig with proper definition similarly to `static`."
This reverts commit 6af0eeb58d.
This change needs more careful consideration. It regressed
zig-bootstrap due to cmake passing `-static -lkernel32` and zig failing
with error.UnableToStaticLink.
