Some filesystems, such as ZFS, do not report atime. It's pretty useless
in general, so make it an optional field in File.Stat.
Also take the opportunity to make setting timestamps API more flexible
and match the APIs widely available, which have UTIME_OMIT and UTIME_NOW
constants that can be independently set for both fields.
This is needed to handle smoothly the case when atime is null.
I resisted adding this because it's generally better to create a
File.Reader instead, but we do need a simple wrapper around the vtable
function, and there are use cases for it such as std.Progress.
* std.option allows overriding the debug Io instance
* if the default is used, start code initializes environ and argv0
also fix some places that needed recancel(), thanks mlugg!

At first I thought about keeping this as an assertion but I can see this
being useful if you already know how many bytes to read and you are
filling the end of the buffer.
This also more closely mirrors POSIX APIs.
This is one way of addressing/closing https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16738
Previously, there was a mismatch between the default behaviors on Windows vs other platforms, where Windows was implicitly using .NON_DIRECTORY_FILE for its `openFile` implementation which caused `error.IsDir` when opening a directory, while on other platforms there is no equivalent flag for the `open` syscall. This meant that `openFile` on a path of a directory would fail on Windows but succeed on other platforms.
Adding `allow_directory` to `File.OpenFlags` serves two purposes:
1. It provides a cross-platform way to get the `.NON_DIRECTORY_FILE` behavior in the most efficient available way for the platform (on Windows, no extra syscalls are required, on other systems, an extra `fstat` is required)
2. It allows `statFile` to be implemented on top of `openFile` on Windows while still allowing `statFile` to work on directory paths. Before this commit, `statFile` on a directory path on Windows failed with `error.IsDir`
Note: The second purpose could have been addressed in different ways (bespoke call to NtCreateFile in the `statFile` implementation to avoid passing `NON_DIRECTORY_FILE`, or just never pass `NON_DIRECTORY_FILE` in the `openFile` implementation), so the first purpose is the more relevant/motivating force behind this change.
The default being `true` is intended to cut down on the number of syscalls as much as possible when using the default flags.
instead, allow the user to set it as a field.
this fixes a bug where leak printing and error printing would run tty
config detection for stderr, and then emit a log, which is not necessary
going to print to stderr.
however, the nice defaults are gone; the user must explicitly assign the
tty_config field during initialization or else the logging will not have
color.

Unfortunately this can't be implemented "above the vtable" because
various operating systems don't provide low level DNS resolution
primitives such as just putting the list of nameservers in a file.
Without libc on Linux it works great though!
Anyway this also changes the API to be based on Io.Queue. By using a
large enough buffer, reusable code can be written that does not require
concurrent, yet takes advantage of responding to DNS queries as they
come in. I sketched out a new implementation of `HostName.connect` to
demonstrate this, but it will require an additional API (`Io.Select`) to
be implemented in a future commit.
This commit also introduces "uncancelable" variants for mutex locking,
waiting on a condition, and putting items into a queue.
