This fixes a bug in std.net caused during the introduction of
meta.assumeSentinel due to the unfortunate semantics of mem.span()
This leaves only 3 remaining uses of meta.assumeSentinel() in the
standard library, each of which could be a simple @ptrCast([*:0]T, foo)
instead. I think this function should likely be removed.

- Add .StaticInitializer to ValueRenderLocation to indicate that the emitted values
must be constant expressions (no function calls, struct casting).
- Add new path for special float types (nan, inf) that works in constant expressions
- Implement windows.teb() using a syscall for .stage2_c because x64 MSVC
doesn't support any kind of inline asm
The name of the game here is to avoid CreateProcessW calls at all costs,
and only ever try calling it when we have a real candidate for execution.
Secondarily, we want to minimize the number of syscalls used when checking
for each PATHEXT-appended version of the app name.
An overview of the technique used:
- Open the search directory for iteration (either cwd or a path from PATH)
- Use NtQueryDirectoryFile with a wildcard filename of `<app name>*` to
check if anything that could possibly match either the unappended version
of the app name or any of the versions with a PATHEXT value appended exists.
- If the wildcard NtQueryDirectoryFile call found nothing, we can exit early
without needing to use PATHEXT at all.
This allows us to use a <open dir, NtQueryDirectoryFile, close dir> sequence
for any directory that doesn't contain any possible matches, instead of having
to use a separate look up for each individual filename combination (unappended +
each PATHEXT appended). For directories where the wildcard *does* match something,
we only need to do a maximum of <number of supported PATHEXT extensions> more
NtQueryDirectoryFile calls.
---
In addition, we now only evaluate the extensions in PATHEXT that we know we can handle (.COM, .EXE, .BAT, .CMD) and ignore the rest.
---
This commit also makes two edge cases match Windows behavior:
- If an app name has the extension .exe and it is attempted to be executed, that is now treated as unrecoverable and InvalidExe is immediately returned no matter where the .exe is (cwd or in the PATH). This matches the behavior of the Windows cmd.exe.
- If the app name contains more than just a filename (e.g. it has path separators), then it is excluded from PATH searching and only does a cwd search. This matches the behavior of Windows cmd.exe.
There are still a few occurrences of "stage1" in the standard library
and self-hosted compiler source, however, these instances need a bit
more careful inspection to ensure no breakage.
Ran into this when using a program that uses CreateFileMapping and then trying to call `std.fs.createFile` on the mapped file. More info can be found here:

The definition of HKEY__ as a struct with an unused int field is only the case in the Windows headers when `STRICT` is defined. From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/enabling-strict:
> When STRICT is defined, data type definitions change as follows:
>
> - Specific handle types are defined to be mutually exclusive; for example, you will not be able to pass an HWND where an HDC type argument is required. Without STRICT, all handles are defined as HANDLE, so the compiler does not prevent you from using one type of handle where another type is expected.
Zig's `opaque {}` already gives this benefit to us, so the usage of a struct with an unused field is unnecessary, and it was causing HKEY to have an alignment of 4, which is a problem because there are HKEY constants like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (0x80000002) that are not 4-byte aligned. Without this change, the compiler would not allow something like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to be defined since it enforces pointer alignment.
