Detangle the target and host DLL and library directories by
making `get-lib-search-dirs` and `get-dll-dir` report the
host system's directories, and add `get-cross-lib-search-dirs`
and `get-cross-dll-dir`.
A new `-C`/`--cross` flag causes `racket` to save a host config and
collection directory and make them available via `(find-system-path
'host-{config,collects}-dir)`, while plus `(system-type 'cross)`
reports whether `-C` mode is in effect. Besides making the host paths
available, this change allows a same-platform build to run in
corss-platform mode.
The immediate problem to solve was the creation of Windows installers
on Windows, where recent changes to support 'gui-bin-dir configuration
need a clear distinction between the host Racket and the target Racket
being built, even if they're the same platform. (The "GRacket.exe"
executable didn't work, for example.)
The changes in this commit are more than needed for the immediate
problem, but they naturally build on the necessary `-C` flag, and they
support cross-platform package setup where native libraries are needed
during setup.
Avoid the well-known possibility of quadratic handling of ephemeron
chains, where all ephemerons are immediately known, no keys are
immediately known, and each link in the chain has a value that refers
to the next link's key.
To aviod quadratic behior, attach a list of ephemerons to each page of
allocated objecst, where marking any object on the page triggers a
rescan of the ephemerons without waiting to rescan all ephemerons.
The test cases relied on arity and changing log to have an arity
of both 1 and 2 activated new (incorrect) tests. I fixed the
incorrect tests as they applied to the log function.
Make `log` in `racket/base` optionally accept a second argument.
The second argument is the log `base`. The docs also recommend
`fllogb` when precision is important.
* Error message when base is 1
* Added docs.
* Add tests.
Remove the history annotation on `build-flat-contract` property
about removing the `#:exercise` keyword.
Because the keyword wasn't actually removed from the function,
only from the (incorrect) documentation. So there aren't any
legal programs that depend on the removed keyword argument.
Store relative paths in "info-cache.rktd" (which corresponds,
roughly, to packages) in a platform-independent form, instead
of using the current platform's convention.
Using the current platform's covention works badly when
cross-compiling for Windows on Unix, since relative paths are used as
keys in the "info-cache.rktd" table. For example, updating a
pre-installed package on Windows mangles the mapping if the installer
is created from a cross-compiled installation.
Optimization to convert `(hash-ref <ht> <key> (lambda () <constant>))`
to `(hash-ref <ht> <key> <constant>)` didn't check that the `lambda`
for had zero argument.

* generics: optional scope arg for private macros
To make them more friendly to macros that expand to generics
* add tests for generic-method-table macro
The process of creating an installer involves building "racket-index"
in user scope, but the license and acks files are normally only in
installation scope. An explicit targeting of the installation-scope
output needs to be disabled when the documentats are rendered to
user scope.
Closes#1635
