On CI, we have been running into OOM issues when running the test suite on Windows for quite some time. Unfortunately, we are very close to having the same issues on Linux as well. Some additional comptime work immediately makes these builds fail as well. Add a new `test-toolchain` step, that tests everything except `std.*` and documentation. On CI, call `test-toolchain`, `test-std` and `docs` separately instead of the `test` big hammer that emcompasses all of them. Change the special case we made for Windows to the same code as other platforms. This is a stopgap measure that stage2 will eventually make useless. Until then, it gives us some headroom. Change `linux_script` by the way to only output the log of failing steps. This shrinks the Linux CI log from a bazilion lines down to something more humanely manageable.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
