In Zig standard library, Dir means an open directory handle. path
represents a file system identifier string. This function is better
named after "current path" than "current dir". "get" and "working" are
superfluous.
If the library isn't actually installed, `generated_bin` will be null,
causing this to panic about a missing dependency for itself; checking
for this state avoids this.
Remove the RemoveDir step with no replacement. This step had no valid
purpose. Mutating source files? That should be done with
UpdateSourceFiles step. Deleting temporary directories? That required
creating the tmp directories in the configure phase which is broken.
Deleting cached artifacts? That's going to cause problems.
Similarly, remove the `Build.makeTempPath` function. This was used to
create a temporary path in the configure place which, again, is the
wrong place to do it.
Instead, the WriteFile step has been updated with more functionality:
tmp mode: In this mode, the directory will be placed inside "tmp" rather
than "o", and caching will be skipped. During the `make` phase, the step
will always do all the file system operations, and on successful build
completion, the dir will be deleted along with all other tmp
directories. The directory is therefore eligible to be used for
mutations by other steps. `Build.addTempFiles` is introduced to
initialize a WriteFile step with this mode.
mutate mode: The operations will not be performed against a freshly
created directory, but instead act against a temporary directory.
`Build.addMutateFiles` is introduced to initialize a WriteFile step with
this mode.
`Build.tmpPath` is introduced, which is a shortcut for
`Build.addTempFiles` followed by `WriteFile.getDirectory`.
* give Cache a gpa rather than arena because that's what it asks for

this work is incomplete; it only moves code around so that environment
variables can be wrangled properly. a future commit will need to audit
the cancelation and error handling of this moved logic.
use the application's Io implementation where possible. This correctly
makes writing to stderr cancelable, fallible, and participate in the
application's event loop. It also removes one more hard-coded
dependency on a secondary Io implementation.
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.

It seems to me this was simply forgotten.
Or there is some reason I don't know why this code doesn't work for `comptime_float`.
For a more comprehensive fix, https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24057 is the place to look.
Like ELF, we now have `std.debug.MachOFile` for the host-independent
parts, and `std.debug.SelfInfo.MachO` for logic requiring the file to
correspond to the running program.
