breaking API changes to all readInt/writeInt functions & more

 * add `@bswap` builtin function. See #767
 * comptime evaluation facilities are improved to be able to
   handle a `@ptrCast` with a backing array.
 * `@truncate` allows "truncating" a u0 value to any integer
   type, and the result is always comptime known to be `0`.
 * when specifying pointer alignment in a type expression,
   the alignment value of pointers which do not have addresses
   at runtime is ignored, and always has the default/ABI alignment
 * threw in a fix to freebsd/x86_64.zig to update syntax from
   language changes
 * some improvements are pending #863

closes #638
closes #1733
