Apple's own headers and tbd files prefer to think of Mac Catalyst as a distinct
OS target. Earlier, when DriverKit support was added to LLVM, it was represented
a distinct OS. So why Apple decided to only represent Mac Catalyst as an ABI in
the target triple is beyond me. But this isn't the first time they've ignored
established target triple norms (see: armv7k and aarch64_32) and it probably
won't be the last.
While doing this, I also audited all Darwin OS prongs throughout the codebase
and made sure they cover all the tags.
`Clock.real` being defined to return timestamps relative to an
implementation-specific epoch means that there's currently no way for
the user to translate returned timestamps to actual calendar dates
without digging into implementation details of any particular `Io`
implementation. Redefining it to return timestamps relative to
1970-01-01T00:00:00Z fixes this problem.
There are other ways to solve this, such as adding a new vtable function
for returning the implementation-specific epoch, but in terms of
complexity this redefinition is by far the simplest solution and only
amounts to a simple 96-bit integer addition's worth of overhead on OSes
like Windows that use non-POSIX/Unix epochs.
Now std.Io.Threaded can return error.ConcurrencyUnavailable rather than
asserting. This is handy for logic that wants to try a concurrent
implementation but then fall back to a synchronous one.
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.
