I'm working on a build.zig file where I'm leveraging InstallRawStep but I'd like to change the install dir. This allows the install dir to be changd and also enhances InstallRawStep to add more options in the future by putting them into a struct with default values. This also removes the need for an extra addInstallStepWithFormat function in build.zig.
This fixes InstallRawStep to handle the cases when there are empty segments (segments with no sections). Before this change, if there was an empty segment with no sections, then the fixup of binaryOffsets is skipped. This fixes that by looping through each segment until a non-empty one is found and then fixing up the sections. This fixed an issue I was having with InstallRawStep for a bootloader I'm writing.
This allows writing HEX files with `exe.installRaw`, where `exe` is a
`LibExeObjStep`. A HEX file will be written if the file extension is `.hex`
or `.ihex`, otherwise a binfile will be written. The output format can be
explicitly chosen with `exe.installRawWithFormat("filename", .hex);`
(or `.bin`)

We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
