Compilation: introduce saveState()
This commit introduces `--debug-incremental` so that we can start playing around with incremental compilation while it is still being developed, and before it is enabled by default. Currently it saves InternPool data, and has TODO comments for the remaining things. Deserialization is not implemented yet, which will require some post-processing such as to build a string map out of null-terminated string table bytes. The saved compiler state is stored in a file called <root-name>.zcs alongside <root-name>.o, <root-name>.pdb, <root-name>.exe, etc. In case of using the zig build system, these files are all in a zig-cache directory. For the self-hosted compiler, here is one data point on the performance penalty of saving this data: ``` Benchmark 1 (3 runs): zig build-exe ... measurement mean ± σ min … max outliers delta wall_time 51.1s ± 354ms 50.7s … 51.4s 0 ( 0%) 0% peak_rss 3.91GB ± 354KB 3.91GB … 3.91GB 0 ( 0%) 0% cpu_cycles 212G ± 3.17G 210G … 216G 0 ( 0%) 0% instructions 274G ± 57.5M 274G … 275G 0 ( 0%) 0% cache_references 13.1G ± 97.6M 13.0G … 13.2G 0 ( 0%) 0% cache_misses 1.12G ± 24.6M 1.10G … 1.15G 0 ( 0%) 0% branch_misses 1.53G ± 1.46M 1.53G … 1.53G 0 ( 0%) 0% Benchmark 2 (3 runs): zig build-exe ... --debug-incremental measurement mean ± σ min … max outliers delta wall_time 51.8s ± 271ms 51.5s … 52.1s 0 ( 0%) + 1.3% ± 1.4% peak_rss 3.91GB ± 317KB 3.91GB … 3.91GB 0 ( 0%) - 0.0% ± 0.0% cpu_cycles 213G ± 398M 212G … 213G 0 ( 0%) + 0.3% ± 2.4% instructions 275G ± 79.1M 275G … 275G 0 ( 0%) + 0.1% ± 0.1% cache_references 13.1G ± 26.9M 13.0G … 13.1G 0 ( 0%) - 0.1% ± 1.2% cache_misses 1.12G ± 5.66M 1.11G … 1.12G 0 ( 0%) - 0.6% ± 3.6% branch_misses 1.53G ± 1.75M 1.53G … 1.54G 0 ( 0%) + 0.2% ± 0.2% ``` At the end of each compilation with `--debug-incremental`, we end up with a 43 MiB `zig.zcs` file that contains all of the InternPool data serialized. Of course, it will necessarily be more expensive to save the state than to not save the state. However, this data point shows just how cheap the save state operation is, with all of the groundwork laid for using a serialization-friendly in-memory data layout.
