Over the last year of using std.log in practice, it has become clear to
me that having the current 8 distinct log levels does more harm than
good. It is too subjective which level a given message should have which
makes filtering based on log level weaker as not all messages will have
been assigned the log level one might expect.
Instead, more granular filtering should be achieved by leveraging the
logging scope feature. Filtering based on a combination of scope and log
level should be sufficiently powerful for all use-cases.
Note that the self hosted compiler has already limited itself to 4
distinct log levels for many months and implemented granular filtering
based on both log scope and level. This has worked very well in practice
while working on the self hosted compiler.

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.

The high level Allocator interface API functions will now do a
`@returnAddress()` so that stack traces captured by allocator
implementations have a return address that does not include the
Allocator overhead functions. This makes `4` a more reasonable default
for how many stack frames to capture.

`std.GeneralPurposeAllocator` is now available. It is a function that
takes a configuration struct (with default field values) and returns an
allocator. There is a detailed description of this allocator in the
doc comments at the top of the new file.
The main feature of this allocator is that it is *safe*. It
prevents double-free, use-after-free, and detects leaks.
Some deprecation compile errors are removed.
The Allocator interface gains `old_align` as a new parameter to
`resizeFn`. This is useful to quickly look up allocations.
`std.heap.page_allocator` is improved to use mmap address hints to avoid
obtaining the same virtual address pages when unmapping and mapping
pages. The new general purpose allocator uses the page allocator as its
backing allocator by default.
`std.testing.allocator` is replaced with usage of this new allocator,
which does leak checking, and so the LeakCheckAllocator is retired.
stage1 is improved so that the `@typeInfo` of a pointer has a lazy value
for the alignment of the child type, to avoid false dependency loops
when dealing with pointers to async function frames.
The `std.mem.Allocator` interface is refactored to be in its own file.
`std.Mutex` now exposes the dummy mutex with `std.Mutex.Dummy`.
This allocator is great for debug mode, however it needs some work to
have better performance in release modes. The next step will be setting
up a series of tests in ziglang/gotta-go-fast and then making
improvements to the implementation.
