Until now we needed to maintain two versions of the zig launcher: one
for Windows and one for everything else. This was problematic for two
reasons:
1. I do not know powershell and thus keep breaking the Windows wrapper
all the time (see git history of Fabian fixing stuff that I broke).
2. This makes bazel-zig-cc dependent on the system shell, making it not
really hermetic. So the recently added
`--experimental_use_hermetic_linux_sandbox` does not work with
bazel-zig-cc, unless we bind-mount a bunch of stuff: `/usr`, `/bin`,
`/lib`, `/usr/lib:/lib`, `/usr/lib64:/lib64` and `/proc`.
Switching to a Zig-based wrapper solves both issues, and we can do this:
bazel build "$@" \
--experimental_use_hermetic_linux_sandbox \
--sandbox_add_mount_pair=/proc \
<...>
Zig itself still depends on `/proc` for `/proc/self/exe`, so we need to
keep that. I will look into reducing even that dependency separately.
Not all is nice and shiny though: this commit replaces ~80 LOC worth of
shell scripts wrappers with a singe ~300 LOC zig program, which is
arguably harder to understand. However, it is easier to change, at least
for me, because it's a single file with unit tests! Most importantly,
the gnarly code (which resolves paths and sets environment variables) is
cross-platform.
Thanks to Fabian Hahn for testing this on Windows and pointing out
errors.
