Instead of checking for absolute paths and current working directories
in various file system operations, there is one simple solution: allow
overriding `std.fs.cwd` on WASI.
os.realpath is back to causing a compile error when used on WASI. This
caused a compile error in the Sema handling of `@src()`. The compiler
should never call realpath, so the commit that made this change is
reverted (95ab942184). If this breaks
debug info, a different strategy is needed to solve it other than using
realpath.
I also removed the preopens code and replaced it with something much
simpler. There is no longer any global state in the standard library.
Additionally-
* os.openat no longer does an unnecessary fstat on WASI when O.WRONLY
is not provided.
* os.chdir is back to causing a compile error on WASI.

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.
